Jitter

Question 1: Several of your employees are experiencing limited connectivity issues when trying to access some websites on the internet from their workstations. However, they can access the local company network without any problems. You have already tried using the ip and ipconfig commands to determine that the websites can be reached and that the IP information on the workstations is configured properly.

Question 5: Which of the following is a common cause for high latency issues on a network? a. A bad switch or router b. Malware c. Port flapping d. Limited connectivity

Port flapping

Question 10: A laptop has a wired connection to a network and is configured with a static IP address. The link light on the NIC is lit, but the laptop cannot communicate with any hosts on the local network. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the issue? a. The laptop is connected to a hub instead of a switch. b. Packet collisions are preventing the laptop from sending or receiving network communications. c. The IP address conflicts with another host on the local network. d. The network settings are configured with the wrong gateway address.
