   A PowerStore storage network is configured with jumbo frames (MTU 9000) on the switch ports and the PowerStore storage ports. However, performance is still not improved. The administrator checks the switch and sees that the storage VLAN is configured with MTU 1500. What is the impact of this configuration?

   • AJumbo frames will still work because the port MTU takes precedence over the VLAN MTU.
   • BThe switch will fragment jumbo frames into 1500-byte frames, reducing performance.
   • CThe switch will drop jumbo frames because the VLAN MTU is smaller than the port MTU.
   • DThe switch will automatically adjust the MTU to 9000 for the VLAN.

   A PowerStore appliance is connected to a switch that runs Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). The switch ports connected to the PowerStore are configured with portfast and BPDU guard. However, the PowerStore is not coming up on the network. The administrator checks the switch logs and sees that the ports are in an 'err-disabled' state. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe PowerStore is not sending BPDUs, so STP is blocking the port.
   • BThe PowerStore is sending BPDUs, which triggered BPDU guard and disabled the port.
   • CThe switch port is configured as a trunk port, and the native VLAN mismatch is causing the port to be disabled.
   • DThe switch port is configured with the wrong VLAN, causing STP to block the port.

   A PowerStore storage network is experiencing intermittent connectivity. The administrator checks the switch ports connected to the PowerStore and sees that the link is up, but there are increasing counts of CRC errors and runts. What is the most likely cause of these errors?

   • AThe PowerStore port is configured for jumbo frames but the switch port is not.
   • BThe switch port is configured as an access port instead of a trunk port.
   • CA speed or duplex mismatch between the switch port and the PowerStore port.
   • DSpanning-tree portfast is not enabled on the switch port.
