What are two reasons that cause late collisions to increment on an Ethernet interface? (Choose two.)

By | November 19, 2022

  • A. when Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection is used
  • B. when one side of the connection is configured for half-duplex
  • C. when the sending device waits 15 seconds before sending the frame again
  • D. when a collision occurs after the 32nd byte of a frame has been transmitted
  • E. when the cable length limits are exceeded
Answer: Option B, E.
Explanation: 

A late collision is defined as any collision that occurs after the first 512 bits (or 64th byte) of the frame have been transmitted. The usual possible causes are full-duplex/half-duplex mismatch, exceeded Ethernet cable length limits, or defective hardware such as incorrect cabling, non-compliant number of hubs in the network, or a bad NIC.
Late collisions should never occur in a properly designed Ethernet network. They usually occur when Ethernet cables are too long or when there are too many repeaters in the network.
