What is the primary benefit of enabling jumbo frames on Ethernet switches and PowerStore ports for storage networks?

Increased security by encrypting storage traffic

Reduced CPU overhead and improved throughput by allowing larger packets

Reduced latency by prioritizing storage traffic

Automatic VLAN tagging for storage traffic

A PowerStore appliance is connected to a switch that runs Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). The switch ports connected to the PowerStore are configured as edge ports. What is the purpose of configuring these ports as edge ports?

To allow the switch to become the root bridge for the storage VLAN.

To increase the bandwidth of the link by enabling jumbo frames.

To prevent the PowerStore from sending BPDUs that could cause a loop.

To allow the ports to transition to forwarding state immediately, reducing the time for the PowerStore to become reachable.

A PowerStore storage network is experiencing intermittent performance issues. The administrator checks the switch ports and sees that the LAG is up, but the traffic is not being distributed evenly across the links. The LAG consists of four 25GbE ports. What is the most likely cause of the uneven traffic distribution?

The LAG is configured with LACP in passive mode, which prevents the switch from negotiating the LAG.

The LAG is configured with spanning-tree portfast, which causes the ports to come up at different times.

The LAG is configured with jumbo frames, which reduces the number of frames and thus the load balancing.

The LAG is using a load-balancing algorithm based on source and destination IP addresses, and the storage traffic is mostly between a few hosts.
