A Network Technician is troubleshooting a link between a switch and a server. The switch port is configured for 1000BASE-T, full-duplex. The server's network card is older and only supports 100Mbps, half-duplex. The devices are set to auto-negotiate.
What is the most likely outcome of this duplex mismatch?
A. The link will fail to come up, and no traffic will pass.
B. The link will successfully negotiate to 100Mbps, full-duplex.
C. The switch will operate at 1000Mbps, and the server will drop most packets.
D. The link will operate at 100Mbps, but performance will be extremely poor due to collisions and errors.
