Suggested Answer:
Part 1 (VoIP troubleshooting tool)
Most likely cause of the VoIP quality issue
Select: Latency
Reason: Site A shows extremely high latency (310.6 ms) while jitter is moderate and packet loss is 0%.
First action to quickly resolve the issue and minimize disruption
Select: Plug an Ethernet cable into the user workstation.
Reason: This is the fastest, least disruptive way to reduce latency/jitter if the user is on Wi-Fi or has a poor wireless link.
Part 2 (Network configuration change)
On the Site A Switch, configure port Eth4 as the Call center user port:
Description: Call center
State: No shut
VLAN: 300
Mode: Access
