1. Question 51 · 371 in bank

   A server administrator is completing an OS installation for a new server. The administrator patches the server with the latest vendor-suggested software, configures DHCP, and verifies all network cables are properly connected in the IDF, but there is no network connectivity. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason for the lack of connectivity?

   • AThe VLAN is improperly configured.
   • BThe DNS configuration is invalid.
   • CThe OS version is not compatible with the network switch vendor.
   • DThe HIDS is preventing the connection.

   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   An intermediate distribution frame (IDF) is a free-standing or wall-mounted rack for managing and interconnecting a telecommunications cable between end-user devices and the main distribution frame (MDF). DNS has nothing to do with LAN network connectivity. OS version and Switch vendor is not a thing. And the HIDS is detection not prevention. The only choice left is VLAN. https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/definition/intermediate-distribution-frame-IDF#

   A technician is installing a variety of servers in a rack. Which of the following is the BEST course of action for the technician to take while loading the rack?

   • AAlternate the direction of the airflow
   • BInstall the heaviest server at the bottom of the rack
   • CPlace a UPS at the top of the rack
   • DLeave 1U of space between each server

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   B, Always load servers from the bottom up. This prevents servers from becoming top-heavy and tipping also we do not alternate the direction of the airflow because that would have already been setup on the room with airflow sensors

   Which of the following technologies would allow an administrator to build a software RAID on a Windows server?

   • ALogical volume management
   • BDynamic disk
   • CGPT
   • DUEFI

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   Once the OS is deployed, additional partitions may be created. Windows Server uses two different methods of organizing storage: Basic Disks and Dynamic Disks. By default, Windows uses the Basic Disk configuration, even though Dynamic Disk configurations are more flexible. Dynamic disk attributes: - Manages simple, spanned, striped (RAID 0), mirrored (RAID 1), and striped with parity (RAID 5) volumes. - Simple and spanned volumes may be expanded to include more storage capacity. - Mirrored and RAID 5 configurations can be repaired after a failure.

   Which of the following BEST describes a warm site?

   • AThe site has all infrastructure and live data.
   • BThe site has all infrastructure and some data.
   • CThe site has partially redundant infrastructure and no network connectivity.
   • DThe site has partial infrastructure and some data.

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   https://blog.icorps.com/bid/101789/types-of-disaster-recovery-sites Cold Computing Sites - the most simplistic type of disaster recovery site. A cold site consists of elements to provide power and networking capability as well as cooling. It does not include other hardware elements such as servers and storage. The use of a cold site is very limiting to a business since before it can be used, backup data along with some additional hardware must be sent to the site and installed. This will impede workflow. Warm Computing Sites - contain all the elements of a cold site while adding to them additional elements including storage hardware such as tape or disk drives along with both servers and switches. Warm sites are "ready to go" in one sense, but they still need to have data transported to them for use in recovery should a disaster occur. Hot Computing Sites - a fully functional backup site that already has important data mirrored to it. This is the ideal disaster recovery site but can be challenging to attain.

   A server administrator has connected a new server to the network. During testing, the administrator discovers the server is not reachable via server name but can be accessed by IP address. Which of the following steps should the server administrator take NEXT? (Choose two.)

   • ACheck the default gateway.
   • BCheck the route tables.
   • CCheck the hosts file.
   • DCheck the DNS server.
   • ERun the ping command.
   • FRun the tracert command.

   Show answer

   Answer: CD

   Explanation

   The server administrator should take the following steps: D. Check the DNS server: Since the server can be accessed by IP address, but not by name, it suggests a problem with name resolution. Checking the DNS server settings and ensuring that the correct records are in place is a good next step. C. Check the hosts file: The hosts file is a local file on the server that can contain static IP to name mappings. Checking the hosts file is a good next step to ensure that the correct name resolution is taking place. The other options may also be helpful in troubleshooting the issue, but they are less likely to be the root cause of the problem. The ping command (E) and tracert command (F) can be used to test network connectivity and identify any routing issues. Checking the default gateway (A) and route tables (B) can help identify any routing issues that may be preventing access to the server.
