The trunk link between two 2960 switches has reached its capacity. How can you address this in the most economical way?

  • Add routers between the switches to create additional broadcast domains.
  • Bundle physical ports using EtherChannel.
  • Configure smaller VLANs to decrease the size of the collision domain.
  • Increase the speed of the ports by using the bandwidth command.

Explanation: Increasing the link speed does not scale very well. Adding more VLANs does not reduce the amount of traffic that is flowing across the link. Inserting a router between the switches does not improve congestion.
