Q

A junior administrator is having issues connecting to a router’s console port using a TIA/EIA 568B standard cable and a USB serial to RJ-45 adapter, despite verifying terminal settings. What is the issue?
Group of answer choices

Router console ports are only used when connected to other routers.

The router console port is providing an Ethernet connection, instead of a serial connection.

The USB standard is incompatible with the serial connection used by the console port.

The cable must be a rollover cable.

A

The cable must be a rollover cable.

Q

What statement correctly describes “jitter”?
Group of answer choices

Jitter is the fluctuation of a signal’s strength as it travels away from its source.

Jitter is what happens when packets experience varying amounts of delay and arrive out of order.

Jitter is the loss of 50% or more packets in a given data stream, causing a connection to falter.

Jitter is the transmission of signal onto unintended pairs in a copper cable.

A

Jitter is what happens when packets experience varying amounts of delay and arrive out of order.
