1. Question 151 · 871 in bank

   A user from a remote office is reporting slow file transfers. Which of the following tools will an engineer MOST likely use to get detailed measurement data?

   • APacket capture
   • BiPerf
   • CNetFlow analyzer
   • DInternet speed test

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   iPerf is a widely used open-source network performance testing tool that allows you to measure network throughput, latency, and other performance metrics. iPerf is particularly useful for measuring the actual throughput between two endpoints, which can help diagnose slow file transfers. NetFlow analyzers are used to analyze network traffic data and provide insights into network usage patterns, flow data, and application behavior. While they can be helpful, they are generally more focused on overall traffic analysis rather than detailed performance measurements for specific file transfers.

   When accessing corporate network resources, users are required to authenticate to each application they try to access. Which of the following concepts does this BEST represent?

   • ASSO
   • BZero Trust
   • CVPN
   • DRole-based access control

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   SSO is the complete opposite of what the question is asking. C and D do not apply and make 0 sense. Thus, B is the correct answer and based on a google search, it makes sense.

3. Question 153 · 871 in bank

   Logs show an unauthorized IP address entering a secure part of the network every night at 8:00 p.m. The network administrator is concerned that this IP address will cause an issue to a critical server and would like to deny the IP address at the edge of the network. Which of the following solutions would address these concerns?

   • AChanging the VLAN of the web server
   • BChanging the server's IP address
   • CImplementing an ACL
   • DInstalling a rule on the firewall connected to the web server

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   The answer is C. ACLs permit or deny traffic passing through an interface based on a list of access control entries (ACEs), or rules, and they are commonly placed on routers or firewalls. Because the network administrator wants to block access at the EDGE of the network, an ACL is the best choice. Answer A is incorrect because it will change what devices the web server can access and communicate to, but it does not actually prevent the IP address from accessing the secure network. Answer B is incorrect because that would not stop the IP address's access into the secure network. Answer D is incorrect because it blocks the IP address at the firewall that is connected to the web server, not the EDGE of the network as required.

   A network administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity performance issue. As part of the troubleshooting process, the administrator performs a traceroute from the client to the server, and also from the server to the client. While comparing the outputs, the administrator notes they show different hops between the hosts. Which of the following BEST explains these findings?

   • AAsymmetric routing
   • BA routing loop
   • CA switch loop
   • DAn incorrect gateway

   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   Straight from Comptia Certmaster: Asymmetrical routing refers to a topology where the return path is different to the forward path.

   A technician is troubleshooting reports that a networked printer is unavailable. The printer's IP address is configured with a DHCP reservation, but the address cannot be pinged from the print server in the same subnet. Which of the following is MOST likely the cause of the connectivity failure?

   • AIncorrect VLAN
   • BDNS failure
   • CDHCP scope exhaustion
   • DIncorrect gateway

   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   A technician is troubleshooting reports that a networked printer is unavailable. The printer's IP address is configured with a DHCP reservation, but the address cannot be pinged from the print server in the same subnet. Which of the following is MOST likely the cause of the connectivity failure? A. Incorrect VLAN - If its on different VLAN, therefore, you are not able to pinged the printer B. DNS failure - The printer is not connecting to via URL C. DHCP scope exhaustion - The printer is configured with a DHCP reservation D. Incorrect gateway - question stated that the printer server is in the same subnet

   A systems operator is granted access to a monitoring application, configuration application, and timekeeping application. The operator is denied access to the financial and project management applications by the system's security configuration. Which of the following BEST describes the security principle in use?

   • ANetwork access control
   • BLeast privilege
   • CMultifactor authentication
   • DSeparation of duties

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   The answer should be B. Separation of duties has to do with splitting tasks among employees to reduce the chance of one employee committing fraud. Least privilege is when you only provide employees with the account privileges they need to complete their work.

7. Question 157 · 871 in bank

   A network engineer performs the following tasks to increase server bandwidth: ✑ Connects two network cables from the server to a switch stack ✑ Configure LACP on the switchports Verifies the correct configurations on the switch interfaces

   

   Which of the following needs to be configured on the server?

   • ALoad balancing
   • BMultipathing
   • CNIC teaming
   • DClustering

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   About NIC teaming NIC teaming is the process of combining multiple network cards together for performance, load balancing, and redundancy reasons. Use NIC teaming to group two or more physical NICs into a single logical network device called a bond. NIC teaming is also called as Load Balancing FailOver (LBFO), bandwidth aggregation, traffic failover, and so on. Benefits of NIC teaming NIC teaming helps in: Load balancing — Outgoing traffic is automatically load balanced based on destination address between the available physical NICs. Fault tolerance — If one of the underlying physical NICs is broken or its cable is unplugged, server/target host detects the fault condition and automatically move traffic to another NIC in the bond.

   A technician is connecting a Cat 6 Ethernet cable to a device that only has LC ports. Which of the following will the technician MOST likely use to accomplish this task?

   • AA bridge
   • BA media converter
   • CA repeater
   • DA router

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   Bing AI picks (B): "When connecting a Cat 6 Ethernet cable to a device that only has LC ports, the technician will most likely use a media converter to accomplish this task. A media converter is a device that can convert signals from one media type (such as copper) to another media type (such as fiber optic). In this case, the media converter would convert the electrical signal from the Cat 6 Ethernet cable to an optical signal that can be transmitted over the LC port. This would allow the technician to connect the Cat 6 Ethernet cable to the device with LC ports."
