If you suspect a network bottleneck after performing an adapter upgrade, which of the following actions will NOT assist in eliminating the condition? Choose all FALSE options.
A.
Uninstall all protocols and NICs not being used.
B.
Install 32-bit or 64-bit PCI bus-mastering NICs.
C.
Use one NIC in servers.
D.
In each segment, use different use NICs at different speeds to improve performance.
Explanation:
You should use multiple NICs in servers or use routers to divide segments. If you cannot use NICs at identical speeds throughout the network, you should at least do so within each network segment. Mixing speeds can result in the network actually operating at the transfer rate of the slowest NIC Incorrect Answers: A, B: Uninstalling all protocols and NICs not being used can assist in improving server performance and eliminating the network bottleneck. If the issue persists, consider installing 32-bit or 64-bit PCI bus-mastering NICs.
