I have saw diferent ansers for this question and i'm confused now.Bernies practice exam said one and exam drill said second.

This question i saw on many practice exams...but always diferent answers

Hier is question:A workstation on your 10BaseT network is not communicating with the server. The workstation has a 3m cable to a RJ45 wall jack, distance from the jack to the patch panel is 90m, and there is a 10m-patch cable from the panel to the hub.
Required result - Restore communication with the server. Optionally, 1.)increase overall network performance 2.) decrease network downtime . Proposed solution - Replace the 10m-patch cable with a 5m-patch cable.


A)The proposed solution meets the required result only

B)The proposed solution meets the required and both optional results

C)The proposed solution does no meet the required result

D)The proposed solution meets the required and only one optional result

The proposed solution meets the required result only.

I dont think Replacing the 10m-patch cable with a 5m-patch cable will 1.)increase overall network performance or 2.) decrease network downtime.

The cabling is within 100 meters so the proposed solution meets the required result.

I dont know when a workstation cannot connect to a server will bring the network down. I think the keyword is shorter cable, but I dont think it makes a difference. But I am not sure if that is what they mean?

Hehe, Bernies exam said that D) and exam drill said A) Oh man!
Thanx guys i hope that somebody else can give answer on this question.I bealive that answer A) is good answer but Leung has nice explanation,so i dont know anymore what to say....

I would say that it meets the required result. Since a network is more than one computer in this scenario only one computer is being affected. Unless this network is a BUS topology? Does 10baseT means the network topology is a BUS? Now if the question means by network downtime the computer in question then yes required and option #2 are met. Its not really clear to me if thats what it is saying.

I have seen this question come up before. As far as Net+ is concerned, the Answer is A.
Why? You are looking at a basic understanding of networking.
---------------------------------------------
Real life? I have had workstations with less then 90 meters not communicate, 100 meters communicate eraticly, and 105 meters communicate just fine.

Going beyond N+, when you have a workstation that pops in and out of the network, you induce problems (excessive broadcasts looking for a eratic workstation), user's calling you about network connectivity, ect.

What CompTIA wants you to understand is the limitations of topologies for Token Ring, Star and Bus.

Understanding the second statement would qualify D, but would confuse someone getting the basics down for testing in the N+ environmnet.

The stability of the network will not be increased at all by fixing the cable. It will only affect the node in question.

"Downtime" means the amount of time that a network is down, i.e. not functioning. Since only the node is being harmed in this scenario, not the entire network, it won't matter.

We get nodes acting up in our network occasionally, but they never affect the network as a whole.

The answer is A.
