IT technicians installed environmental sensors connected to power distribution units (PDUs) throughout a large datacenter. A network design shows an intermediary application receiving sensor logs that are then pushed to a centralized monitoring application in the cloud. How is the data getting to the monitoring solution?

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows network nodes to forward performance utilization information to a central monitor for further analysis. This information enables network administrators to understand devices that are over-or under-utilized, unavailable network paths, and devices that have failed.

An organization has both Windows and Linux instances running and collecting log file information. What protocol will send the information to the centralized management information base (MIB)?

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) will send the log file information to the MIB. Systems use SNMP for monitoring and managing network devices and it utilizes UDP ports 161 and 162 by default.

The administrator never received an alert, although alerting worked properly before the administrator upgraded the hardware. What is the most likely reason why the administrator did not receive an alert when the system failed?

The administrator most likely failed to take alerting out of maintenance mode, which prevents sending alerts while administrators are working on systems, after the hardware upgrade.

An organization has several VMs in their public cloud configured as web servers. However, when the administrator attempts to access the secure website, the browser times out. What must the administrator configure to correct this error and allow customers to access the website?

The administrator must configure an inbound rule in the ACL (Access Control List) to allow traffic on port 443

An organization initially manually assigned random static IP addresses within the organization's range to network devices. Now that the organization is growing, an administrator is installing a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server to automatically assign IP addresses to client devices but needs to free up a contiguous address range in order to provide the DHCP server with a block of available IP addresses to assign. The organization's file servers are currently using IP addresses in the range the administrator wants to use for DHCP, so the administrator assigns new IP addresses outside of that range to the file servers. Shortly after, the helpdesk begins receiving calls from employees who are unable to access the file servers. What must the administrator do to correct this issue?

The administrator must update the DNS records with the new IP addresses.

A cloud administrator needs to apply an emergency hotfix to one of the instances. What type of backup should the administrator capture before applying the hotfix to the system?

An administrator only allows specific physical devices to connect to the organization's Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). What command can the administrator use to monitor device connections to the VPC by physical address?

The arp (Address Resolution Protocol) command is the correct command that will show the administrator the MAC addresses of all devices on the network mapped to the corresponding IP address. The ipconfig /all command will show the administrator the MAC (Media Access Control) address or physical address of the device but will not show the mac addresses of all the devices connected to the network. The nslookup command will show the administrator the domain name that corresponds to an IP address. It does not show MAC addresses. The curl command will allow the administrator to automate file transfers to servers. It does not show MAC addresses.

An administrator is troubleshooting a cloud client that is unable to communicate with other devices on the same subnet. The administrator opens a command prompt on the client, enters ipconfig, and sees that the client's IPv4 address is 169.254.0.0 and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0. Why isn't the client communicating?

The client did not receive an IP address assignment. An IP address of 169.254.0.0 is an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) configuration indicating that the client did not receive a valid IP address configuration either manually or through DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).

A user in the marketing department is unable to access a folder containing campaign files. The administrator views the folder properties and observes that the user is a member of a group that is inheriting read permissions to the folder. Why might the user not be able to access the folder?

An administrator upgraded the operating system on several servers and then ran the configuration management tool to ensure the nodes meet the established requirements. However, the configuration management process failed, even though it ran fine earlier that same day. What is a valid reason why the configuration management process may have failed?

The version of the operating system is now incorrect.--Since the administrator updated the servers, the version of the operating system is now incorrect and is causing the configuration management process to fail.

An organization is upgrading all of its systems in the environment. When the upgrade is complete, the organization will promote the upgraded environment to production, and later, upgrade all of the systems in the demoted environment. What kind of upgrade process does this represent?

This process represents a blue-green upgrade where there are two identical environments. The organization updates the passive environment and makes it active, and then later updates the other environment. A canary upgrade is an upgrade process where the organization upgrades a small number of systems and then measures the impact of the upgrade before deploying it to the rest of the environment. A rolling upgrade is an upgrade process where the organization upgrades a few systems at a time, over a longer time period, to gradually implement the changes. A system upgrade is an upgrade process where the organization upgrades the hardware, firmware, or operating system on one machine.

VRF VXLANs

An organization has configured a VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) but is often unable to access it due to repeated CSP (Cloud Service Provider) outages.

Vendor-related

A company sets up a hybrid cloud environment to take advantage of cloud virtual instances to increase resources during peak hours for a set of load-balanced web servers. The on-premises load balancers need secure and accessible communication with the web servers in the cloud. How can a cloud administrator set up the network to stretch from on-premises to the cloud?

Virtual extensible LAN (VXLAN) provides greater scalability than VLAN. For example, VXLAN stretches a network deployment between the existing on-premises network and a newly created cloud network using a bi-directional tunnel. This requires virtual machines (VMs) on both environments to be members of the same VLAN.

An administrator is securing the organization's cloud-based network resources from potential connections by configuring rules in the Access Control List (ACL). The rules will either accept or block the connections to the network based on predetermined criteria. What cloud appliance is the administrator configuring?

Which method would permit the company to add a virtual storage option to the entire solution?

With hyperconvergence, compute, storage, and network resources are inseparable and managed as a single unit. This is in contrast to converged resources, which an administrator can separate into their constituent parts. Hyperconverged storage allows the company to accomplish its intent of combined logical storage.
