技術者が 8 ポート スイッチをユーザーのオフィスに設置しました。ユーザーはオフィスに 2 台目のコンピューターを追加する必要があるため、技術者は両方の PC をスイッチに接続し、スイッチを壁のジャックに接続します。ただし、新しい PC はネットワーク リソースに接続できません。次に、技術者は次のことを確認します。
* 新しいコンピュータは、クライアントの VLAN で IP アドレスを取得しません。
* 両方のコンピュータの NIC にリンク ライトがあります。
* 新しい PC は、ネットワークの問題を除いて正常に動作しているようです。
※既存のパソコンは正常に動作します。
この状況に対処するために技術者が次に行うべきことは次のうちどれですか?
正解:A
The most likely cause of the problem is that the switch port that the new PC is connected to is configured with port security, which is a feature that limits the number of MAC addresses that can be learned on a port.
Port security can prevent unauthorized devices from accessing the network by either shutting down the port or dropping the traffic from the unknown MAC address.
Since the existing PC operates normally, it means that its MAC address is already authorized on the switch port, but the new PC's MAC address is not.
Therefore, the technician should contact the network team to either disable port security on the switch port or add the new PC's MAC address to the authorized list.
This will allow the new PC to get an IP address on the client's VLAN and access the network resources.
The other options are not relevant to the situation, as they do not address the root cause of the problem.
Option B is incorrect because creating a record in DNS for the new PC will not help it get an IP address or connect to the network.
Option C is incorrect because reviewing the logs on the company's SIEM will not fix the port security issue or restore the network connectivity for the new PC.
Option D is incorrect because checking NetFlow data from the connected switch will not identify or resolve the port security issue or the network issue for the new PC.
