1. Question 701 · 871 in bank

   A network administrator is preparing new switches that will be deployed to support a network extension project. The lead network engineer has already provided documentation to ensure the switches are set up properly. Which of the following did the engineer most likely provide?

   • APhysical network diagram
   • BSite survey reports
   • CBaseline configurations
   • DLogical network diagram

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   Baseline configurations are standard or reference configurations that serve as a starting point for configuring network devices such as switches. These configurations typically include settings for network protocols, security, and other operational parameters. When deploying new switches, it’s common to start with a baseline configuration to ensure consistency across the network.

   A company upgrades its network and PCs to gigabit speeds. After the upgrade, users are not getting the expected performance. Technicians discover that the speeds of the endpoint NICs are inconsistent. Which of the following should be checked first to troubleshoot the issue?

   • ASpeed mismatches
   • BLoad balancer settings
   • CDevices’ duplex settings
   • DOffice wiring category

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   To troubleshoot the issue of inconsistent NIC speeds after upgrading the network and PCs to gigabit speeds, the first thing to check should be: A. Speed mismatches. Speed mismatches occur when the speed settings of network devices, such as NICs (Network Interface Cards), do not match the configured speed of the network. This can lead to inconsistent or degraded network performance. By ensuring that the speed settings on the endpoint NICs match the configured speed of the network (in this case, gigabit speeds), technicians can address potential speed mismatches and improve overall network performance. Therefore, checking for speed mismatches should be the first step in troubleshooting the issue.

7. Question 707 · 871 in bank

   A network administrator redesigned the positioning of the APs to create adjacent areas of wireless coverage. After project validation, some users still report poor connectivity when their devices maintain an association to a distanced AP. Which of the following should the network administrator check FIRST?

   • AValidate the roaming settings on the APs and WLAN clients
   • BVerify that the AP antenna type is correct for the new layout
   • CCheck to see if MU-MIMO was properly activated on the APs
   • DDeactivate the 2.4GHz band on the APS

   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   Roaming is the process of switching from one AP to another as the user moves around the network. If the roaming settings are not configured correctly, the user may experience poor connectivity when the device maintains an association with a distant AP. Improper roaming settings can result in slow speeds, dropped connections, and low signal strength. Therefore, validating the roaming settings is the first step the network administrator should take when addressing the issue of poor connectivity. The roaming settings need to be configured in a way that allows the device to seamlessly switch from one AP to another as the user moves around the network. If the roaming settings are not configured properly, the network administrator should adjust them to ensure the best possible user experience. By validating the roaming settings first, the network administrator can eliminate the possibility of this being the root cause of the issue, and move on to other potential causes if necessary.

10. Question 710 · 871 in bank

    A network engineer is troubleshooting application connectivity issues between a server and a client. The network engineer needs to view the certificate exchange between the two hosts. Which of the following tools should the network engineer use?

    • Adig
    • Btcpdump
    • Cnmap
    • Dtraceroute

    Show answer

    Answer: B

    Explanation

    tcpdump is a command-line packet analyzer. It allows the user to display TCP/IP and other packets being transmitted or received over a network to which the computer is attached. In this case, it can be used to capture the packet data and analyze the certificate exchange between the two hosts.
