B.3 Domain 2: Networking, All Questions

- Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) - The workstation was unable to contact the DHCP server Explanation If a Windows client is configured to receive an IP address from a DHCP server, but cannot contact a DHCP server, it will automatically assign itself an IP address within the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 with the subnet mask 255.255.0.0. You can use APIPA instead of a DHCP server, but it should only be used on a small network that does not need default gateway or DNS server settings configured.

A Windows workstation is configured to receive its IP configuration information from a DHCP server on the company network. The user at the workstation reports that she cannot use email and is unable to reach the Internet. Using the ipconfig command you see that the workstation has been assigned the following special IP configuration: • IP address: 169.254.0.1 • Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 What is this special IP configuration called? - Static IP Addressing - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) - Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) - Alternate IP Configuration Why did the workstation receive this type of configuration? - The workstation was unable to contact the DNS server - The workstation was unable to contact the DHCP server - The workstation was unable to contact the default gateway - The workstation was unablet to contact the Internet service provider (typo preserved from Testout)

Satellite Explanation Satellite capability is available even in areas that do not have a local network infrastructure. Satellite requires a local portable transmitter with an antenna directed skywards to a satellite. Satellite service providers offer nearly 100% global network coverage by maintaining a series of satellites circling the earth in geosynchronous orbit. Dial-up, ISDN and cable modem, require a local network infrastructure provided by either the telephone company or cable television company.

A healthcare organization provides mobile clinics throughout the world and needs to transfer patient statistical data to a central database via the Internet. Which network technology should you select to ensure network connectivity for any clinic located anywhere in the world, even remote areas? - DSL - Dial-up - Cable modem - Satellite - ISDN

ARP

A host wants to send a message to another host with the IP address 115.99.80.157. IP does not know the hardware address of the destination device. Which protocol can be used to discover the MAC address? - DHCP - DNS - BOOTP - ARP

Multimode fiber optic Explanation Multimode fiber optic cable is the only option that meets all the requirements. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds with maximum segment lengths up to 300 meters. Single-mode fiber optic cable can also support the 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and the segment lengths that are needed, but the cable and the connection equipment is more expensive than multimode fiber optic cable and connection equipment. Twisted pair Category 6 and 7 cable can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds but the maximum segment length is 100 meters--not long enough for this scenario.

A medical center wants to upgrade their network backbone to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 Gbps) so they can perform daily backups of large amounts of data to the secure on-site storage area network (SAN) without bogging down the network. Some of the backbone segments will have to reach between buildings that are close to 300 meters apart. Which of the following cable types will support 10 Gigabit Ethernet at the necessary segments lengths while keeping costs as low as possible? - Multimode fiber optic - Twisted pair Category 7 - Twisted pair Category 6 - Single-mode fiber optic

- Block any direct and reflected sunlight from the pathway between the PC and the printer. - Move the printer closer to the computer. Explanation Infrared light is light that is near visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore very bright lights and in particular sunlight may cause interference with infrared interfaces. The best way to manage this interference is to minimize the distance between the connected devices and minimize interfering sunlight.

A portable computer connected to a printer with an infrared interface works fine inside your office. However, when you go outside it works sporadically. How can you fix this? (Select two.) - Set the environment setting to outdoor mode in the BIOS. - Block any direct and reflected sunlight from the pathway between the PC and the printer. - Move the printer closer to the computer. - Install a Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS) to shield the interface.

Send the frame out ports 2-8. Explanation Because the switch does not know the port that is used to reach the destination device, it will send the frame out all ports except for the port on which the frame was received. After the switch learns the port that is used to reach the destination device, it will send the frame out only that port.

An 8-port switch receives a frame on port number 1. The frame is addressed to an unknown device. What will the switch do? - Send the frame out all 8 ports. - Send the frame out the destination port. - Drop the frame. - Send the frame out ports 2-8.

Up to 100 meters for Class 1 devices - Bluetooth Up to 30 meters in areas without interference - Infrared Up to 10 meters for Class 2 devices - Bluetooth Explanation Radio frequency wireless transmissions can reach up to 356 meters, depending upon the 802.11 standard used and interference present in the environment. Infrared wireless transmissions work best for devices within 1 meter, but can operate up to 30 meters in areas without ambient light interference.

Drag the wireless networking technology on the left to its associated transmission distance limitation on the right. Each technology can be used more than once. (Infrared, Bluetooth) Up to 100 meters for Class 1 devices Up to 30 meters in areas without interference Up to 10 meters for Class 2 devices

169.254.1.26 Explanation In the event that a DCHP server is not available, Windows workstations can use APIPA to automatically provide themselves with an IP address. The default address range used by APIPA is 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. Of the options presented, only 169.254.1.26 falls within this range.

Given that your Windows workstation has Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) implemented using default settings, which of the following TCP/IP addresses could be automatically assigned to the system should your DHCP server go down or become inaccessible? - 169.198.1.23 - 172.16.1.26 - 192.168.1.22 - 10.0.0.65 - 168.254.10.25 - 169.254.1.26

When a frame enters a port, the source MAC address is copied from the frame header. Explanation Bridges and switches learn addresses by copying the MAC address of the source device and placing it into the MAC address table. The port number which the frame entered is also recorded in the table and associated with the source MAC address. The switch or the bridge cannot record the destination MAC address because it does not know the port that is used to reach the destination device. Bridges and switches operate at Layer 2 and do not use IP addresses (which exist at Layer 3).

How do switches and bridges learn where devices are located on a network? - When a frame enters a port, the destination MAC address is copied from frame header. - When a frame enters a port, the source IP address is copied from the frame header. - When a frame enters a port, the destination IP address is copied from the frame header. - When a frame enters a port, the source MAC address is copied from the frame header.

Connects segments on the same subnet. Forwards signals to only the port connected to the destination device - Switch Can be used to connect wireless clients to wired clients on the same network - Bridge Connects two network segments that have different subnet addresses - Router Connects segments on the same subnet. Repeats signals out to all other ports - Hub Operate in full-duplex mode, meaning devices can both send and receive data at the same time - Switch Operates in half-duplex mode, meaning devices can either send or receive data at any given time - Hub Uses the IP address within a packet to move packets between networks - Router Explanation Ethernet uses a variety of connectivity devices, including the following: A hub provides a central connection for multiple media segments on the same subnet. When a hub receives a signal, it is repeated out to all other ports. Hubs operate in half-duplex mode, meaning devices can either send or receive data at any given time. A switch provides a central connection for multiple media segments on the same subnet. When a switch receives a signal, it forwards that signal only to the port where the destination device is connected. Switches operate in full-duplex mode, meaning devices can send and receive data at the same time because transmission paths are dedicated to only the communicating devices. A router connects two network segments that have different subnet addresses. Routers use the IP address within a packet to move packets between networks. A bridge connects two segments within the same subnet that use different media types. For example, use a bridge to connect wireless clients to wired clients on the same network.

Add a network card using a PCI slot. Explanation In this case, you should install a network adapter in a PCI slot. Your computer would then use the new network adapter instead of the one integrated on the motherboard. While installing the new card, you should disable the onboard LAN adapter to prevent it from showing in Device Manager. Replacing the motherboard is too expensive when compared to installing a new expansion card. AGP slots are used for video cards, not network cards. Clearing the CMOS settings erases the configuration information but does not fix the LAN adapter that is not functioning.

You have a computer with an onboard LAN adapter. The LAN adapter has failed and you are unable to connect the computer to the network. What should you do? - Add a network card using an AGP slot. - Clear the CMOS settings. - Replace the motherboard. - Add a network card using a PCI slot.

Install and configure the DHCP service on your server. Explanation The DHCP protocol allows you to assign IP addresses automatically. In this scenario, you should configure the DHCP service to run on the network server. The DHCP client on each workstation can then contact the DHCP server when the workstations connect to the network to be automatically assigned IP addressing information. You could instruct each user to manually enter IP addressing information but there is a higher chance of error and will likely require more administrative overhead.

You are setting up a small network in your office with one Windows server and 50 Windows workstations. You want to spend as little time as possible configuring the workstations with IP addressing information. What should you do? - Assign each user an IP address and instruct the user to enter the IP address in his or her computer. - Install the WINS service on your server. - Install and configure the DHCP service on your server. - Install the DHCP service on each workstation.

You need to hang up. Explanation You cannot talk on the telephone over the same line that the modem needs to use. When you try to connect with the modem, the line will be in use and the connection will fail because the modem can't dial the destination device. When troubleshooting a modem connection: Verify that the modem gets a dial tone. Verify that the modem dials the correct number. Verify that the receiving device answers the call. Verify network connection parameters (such as TCP/IP settings or connection settings). Verify any authentication or logon parameters.

You are talking with a customer support technician on the telephone. The technician recommends downloading a particular driver from Internet. When you try to connect to the Internet using your dial-up modem, you can't. What is the problem? - You need to hang up. - The ISP access number is incorrect. - You need to disable call waiting. - You need to install and configure TCP/IP.

ipconfig /flushdns Explanation Workstations maintain a cache of recently-resolved DNS names. When you use a DNS name, the computer first checks its cache. If the name is in the cache, the corresponding IP address will be used. This can sometimes cause problems if the IP address of a host has changed. Old values in the cache might continue to be used for a time, making communication using the DNS name impossible. To correct this problem on a Windows computer, run ipconfig /flushdns to delete the local DNS name cache.

You are the computer specialist in a small business. Your company server is named FS1 and has an IP address of 10.0.0.2. The hardware in your company server has started to experience intermittent failures, so you transferred the shares on the server to a spare server and took the main server offline. The spare server has an IP address of 10.0.0.3. You edit the existing A record for FS1 on your company's DNS server and redirect the hostname to the spare server's IP address of 10.0.0.3. After doing so, most users are able to access the shares on the spare server by hostname, but several users cannot. Instead, they see an error message indicating the FS1 server could not be found. Enter the command you can run from the command prompt on these workstations that will allow them to access the shares on FS1 without performing a full restart.

127.0.0.1 Explanation 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address for any device. This special address means "this host." If you ping the loopback address, the TCP/IP configuration will be tested. A successful test means that TCP/IP is correctly configured on the host. 192.168.1.55 is the current IP address assigned to the host. You can ping this address, but the address is not considered the loopback address. Also, to ping the host's IP address, you must first know the address. Pinging the loopback address always tests the current host regardless of its current IP address. 192.168.1.255 is the broadcast address for the network meaning "any host" on the network.

You have a small home network that uses 192.168.1.0 with the default subnet mask for the network address. The default gateway address is 192.168.1.254, and the router is providing DHCP on the network. The Wrk2 computer has been assigned the IP address of 192.168.1.55. Which of the following is considered the loopback address for the Wrk2 computer? - 192.168.1.55 - 127.0.0.1 - 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254 - 192.168.1.255

Alternate IP Configuration Explanation With an Alternate IP Configuration, the system's IPv4 Properties are configured on the General tab to use DHCP to automatically obtain TCP/IP configuration information. If a DHCP server cannot be contacted, the static IP configuration information on the IPv4 Properties' Alternate Configuration tab is used.

You have a user who takes his laptop home every day after work. When he's working in the office, the laptop must get an IP address from the DHCP server so you configure it to obtain IP and DNS information automatically. When he's working from home, the laptop must use IP and DNS information that connects with his home network. Which IP addressing method can you use to make sure he gets a network connection at home? - Link-local Addressing - Dynamic IP Addressing - APIPA IP Addressing - Alternate IP Configuration - Static IP Addressing

Mesh Explanation This type of network uses a physical mesh topology. There's no central connecting point. Any host can communicate directly with any other host on the network. A mesh network, such as this one, is usually impractical on a wired network. Each host would have to have a separate, dedicated network interface and cable for each host on the network. However, a mesh topology can be implemented with relative ease on a wireless network due to the lack of wires.

You have implemented an ad-hoc wireless network that doesn't employ a wireless access point. Every wireless network card can communicate directly with any other wireless network card on the network. What type of physical network topology has been implemented in this type of network? - Bus - Star - Mesh - Ring - Tree

F-type Explanation Use an F-type connector for broadband cable connections that use coaxial cable. Use a BNC connector for 10Base-2 Ethernet networks. Use an RJ-11 connector for modem connections to a phone line. Use an RJ-45 connector for an Ethernet network that uses twisted pair cable. Use ST and SC connectors for fiber optic cables.

You have just signed up for a broadband home Internet service that uses coaxial cable. Which connector type will you most likely use? - F-type - BNC - RJ-11 - RJ-45 - ST

Bluetooth Explanation A Bluetooth connection would be the best choice because it automatically detects Bluetooth-enabled devices and creates a wireless PAN between them. It can be used for both voice and data signals, and it also provides 128-bit encryption to protect sensitive information in transit. Infrared is a line-of-sight medium so it may be difficult to maintain connectivity, it also doesn't provide encryption. Cellular WAN provides very little security for information in transit and requires a cellular connection for each device. Wireless Ethernet is used for transferring data, not connecting devices.

You need a type of wireless connection that can transfer data between your phone, PDA, and laptop. You are transferring sensitive information. Which would be the best choice? - Wireless Ethernet - Bluetooth - Infrared - Cellular WAN

FTP Explanation You should implement the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). It enables file transfers and supports user authentication. The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) also enables file transfer, but does not support user authentication. The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is used to transfer email message from email clients to email servers. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol is used to access information about network resources stored in a directory server. The Secure SHell protocol (SSH) is used to securely access the console prompt of a remote computer system. The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used to remotely monitor and manage network devices and hosts.

You want to allow your users to download files from a server running the IP protocol. You want to protect access to the files by requiring user authentication to access specific directories on the server. Which IP protocol should you implement to provide this capability? - SSH - SNMP - TFTP - SMTP - LDAP - FTP

DNS Explanation You can use DNS name resolution for Linux workstations (as well as for most other operating systems). NetBIOS name resolution (LMHOSTS files or WINS) is typically used on Windows-based networks. The Lmhosts file is a local text file that maps Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to NetBIOS names of remote servers with which you want to communicate over the TCP/IP protocol. A WINS server address is only needed if you have older Windows clients on multiple networks. Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a means of transmitting time signals over a computer network. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is used to route electronic mail through the internetwork. E-mail applications provide the interface to communicate with SMTP or mail servers.

You want to implement name resolution on the Linux workstations in your company. Which protocol will you use to do this? - SMTP - DNS - WINS - LMHOSTS file - NTP

Bluetooth Explanation Bluetooth would be the best choice because it has a high transfer rate and because it automatically detects other Bluetooth devices in the area and creates an encrypted PAN between them. 802.11g is a wireless networking standard for communicating between computers, not for connecting wireless devices to a computer. PS/2, IEEE 1394 (Firewire), and USB are all wired connection standards.

You want to use a wireless keyboard and mouse with your laptop computer. Which method should you choose? - Bluetooth - PS/2 - USB - IEEE 1394 - 802.11g wireless

IP Explanation The IP is the protocol of the Internet. If you want to use the Internet, your computer must have the IP protocol installed and configured. The Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) is a mostly obsolete encapsulation of the Internet Protocol designed to work over serial ports and modem connections. The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is also commonly used with modem connections. IPX/SPX is the protocol suite used on legacy NetWare networks. NetBIOS is the term used to describe the combination of two protocols: NetBEUI and NetBIOS. NetBIOS was used in early Windows networks. Because NetBIOS is a non-routable protocol, it was often combined with TCP/IP or IPX/SPX to enable internetwork communications.

You want to use your Windows workstation to browse the web sites on the Internet. You use a broadband DSL connection to access the Internet. Which network protocol must be installed on your workstation to do this? - NetBIOS - IPX/SPX - PPP - SLIP - IP

3389 Explanation The RDP protocol runs on port 3389 by default. Port 110 is used by the POP3 protocol. Port 389 is used by the LDAP protocol. Port 123 is used by the NTP protocol.

You've enabled Remote Desktop on a Windows workstation. Which port must be opened in the server's firewall to allow remote clients to access the desktop? - 389 - 123 - 110 - 3389

53 Explanation The DNS service runs on port 53 by default. Port 110 is used by the POP3 protocol. Port 143 is used by the IMAP protocol. Port 123 is used by the NTP protocol.

You've just installed the DNS service on a Windows server. Which port must be opened in the server's firewall to allow clients to access the service? - 123 - 110 - 143 - 53

SMB Explanation The Server Message Block (SMB) protocol is used by Windows systems to access shared resources over the network. The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is used to access information stored in the directory service on a server. The Remote Desktop Protocol is used to access the desktop of remote systems. The Secure File Transfer protocol is used to securely transfer files between hosts.

You've used your Windows workstation to map a drive to a shared folder on a Windows server. Which protocol was used to access the share? - LDAP - RDP - SFTP - SMB

100 meters Explanation Gigabit Ethernet using twisted pair cables (either Cat 5e or Cat 6) has a maximum cable segment length of 100 meters. Tip: All Ethernet networks that use twisted pair cable (Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet) have a distance limitation of 100 meters.
