CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 431

A data center administrator is evaluating the use of jumbo frames within a storage environment. Which of the following describes the best reason to use jumbo frames in the storage environment?

Answer options

• A. To reduce device overhead
• B. To report on the current root switch in the STP
• C. To improve routing convergence
• D. To increase drive throughput

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, highlights that jumbo frames help in reducing the overhead on network devices, which can lead to better performance in data transfer. Options B and C are unrelated to the primary benefits of jumbo frames, as they focus on switch reporting and routing, while option D, although it mentions throughput, is not as directly related to the core benefit of reduced overhead.
