Question

You support a large, complicated network. After experiencing problems and testing the cabling, you have discovered a bad horizontal cable. What should you do next?

Answer 1

Replace the faulty cable with a good one and reconfigure the connection.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cabled network uses cables or wires to connect all the devices in the network. It supports the Ethernet IEEE 802.3 protocol to detect collision and promote bidirectional packet transfer.

When devices in a network are connected with a cable and configured, the protocols on both interfaces changes to up state. But when the cable is faulty, the interface protocols goes down.

To fix this, replace the faulty cable with a functional cable.
