Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v5 — Question 19
The Ethernet switch has eight ports and all ports must be operational for 24 hours, from Monday through Friday. However, a failure of Port 4 occurs as follows:
Monday = 8 PM to 11 PM -
Wednesday = 7 PM to 10 PM -
Thursday = 6 AM to 12 PM -
What is the MTTR of Port 4?
Answer options
- A. 28 hours
- B. 2 hours
- C. 38 hours
- D. 4 hours
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The MTTR for Port 4 is calculated by summing the total downtime across the specified periods. Monday has 3 hours of downtime, Wednesday contributes 3 hours, and Thursday adds another 6 hours, totaling 12 hours. However, if we consider only the total time the port was down during each failure segment, it amounts to 4 hours, making D the correct answer. The other options do not accurately reflect the total downtime across the reported failures.
