Lifecare Insurance has plans to upgrade its enterprise grade network for better performance and to protect the network from problems whenever one or more network devices fail because of higher volumes of traffic. Rose is hired as a network administrator to oversee the change and to ensure that every device can function at its best without being swamped with too many kinds of tasks. After having a close look at the process, Rose is of the opinion that some of the devices are overburdened by heavy traffic, as a result of which they are unable to perform at full capacity. Analyze which step Rose should take to fix the issue at hand. Use top of rack switching to fix the issue. Try to fix the issue at the core layer of the three-tiered architecture. Use a SDN to distribute the traffic load. Use a load balancer to fix the issue.

Use a load balancer to fix the issue.

Which network architecture technique are you using when you run a virtual router on a network? a. NFV b. SAN c. STP d. SDN

a. NFV NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) is a network architecture that merges physical and virtual network devices. STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is a switching protocol defined by the IEEE standard 802.1D that prevents traffic loops by artificially blocking the links that would complete a loop. A SAN (storage area network) is a distinct network of storage devices that communicate directly with each other and with other portions of the network. SDN (software-defined networking) is a centralized approach to networking that removes most of the decision-making power from network devices and instead handles that responsibility at a software level.

Which SDN plane moves traffic from switch port to switch port? a. Infrastructure plane b. Management plane c. Control plane d. Application plane

a. Infrastructure plane The infrastructure plane is made up of the physical or virtual devices that handle actual transmissions on the network, moving traffic from each port on a switch to other ports. The control plane handles the decision-making processes performed by network protocols. The application plane includes applications running on the network, such as DNS or VoIP. The management plane could be considered a part of the control plane and allows network administrators to remotely manage network devices, monitor those devices, and analyze data collected about the devices.

Which is longer for a reliable device? a. MTBF b. MTTR

Which virtual network connection type assigns a VM its IP address from the physical network? a. Host-only b. NAT c. Private d. Bridged

d. Bridged Although a bridged vNIC communicates through the host's adapter, it obtains its own IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask from a DHCP server on the physical LAN. In NAT mode, the VM obtains IP addressing information from its host rather than from a server or router on the physical network. In host-only mode, VMs use the DHCP service in the host's virtualization software to obtain IP address assignments. In Hyper-V, the host-only connection type is created by assigning VMs to a private virtual network.

Which protocol balances traffic across multiple links? a. LACP b. CARP c. VIP d. VRRP
