A network administrator notices an increase in the drop counters on a switch interface connected to a newly installed server. What is the most likely cause of this issue?
Incorrect speed settings on the switch port
Mismatched duplex settings between the switch and the server
Misconfigured VLAN settings
A faulty network cable
Mismatch duplex settings can cause a high number of packet drops on a network interface. This happens because one side of the connection may be trying to send data while the other is also sending, leading to collisions and subsequently dropped packets. Incorrect speed settings typically result in connectivity issues but not specifically increased packet drops. Faulty cables more frequently result in errors or no connectivity. Misconfigured VLAN does not typically influence packet drops directly but might lead to connectivity issues or improper traffic routing.
