A network administrator is troubleshooting a slow file transfer between two servers on the same VLAN. The administrator runs a packet capture on the source server and sees the file transfer packets being sent to the destination server's IP address. However, the destination server reports that it is not receiving the packets. The administrator then checks the switch and sees that the destination server's MAC address is not in the MAC address table. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this issue?

The switch is flooding the unicast traffic to all ports because it does not know the destination MAC address

The source server is sending multicast traffic to the destination server's group

The destination server is sending broadcast traffic that is flooding the switch

The destination server is using anycast, and the nearest server is down

A network administrator is managing a network that carries both mission-critical VoIP traffic and best-effort file transfer traffic. The administrator wants to ensure that VoIP traffic is prioritized over file transfers to maintain call quality. The network switches and routers support QoS. Which of the following is the most appropriate QoS strategy to implement?

Disable QoS on the network to avoid complexity

Use round-robin queuing for all traffic classes

Mark VoIP traffic with a higher DSCP value and configure strict priority queuing for that class

Apply the same DSCP marking to all traffic and rely on FIFO queuing

A network administrator is configuring a video surveillance system where 12 IP cameras stream live video to a monitoring station. The cameras are spread across three different VLANs, and the monitoring station is on a fourth VLAN. The administrator wants to minimize bandwidth consumption on the network while ensuring all 12 camera feeds reach the monitoring station. Which traffic type should the administrator configure for the video streams?

Broadcast from each camera to all devices on the network

Unicast from each camera to the monitoring station

Multicast from the cameras to the monitoring station's group

Anycast from the cameras to the nearest monitoring station
