You have purchased a new router that you need to configure. You need to connect a workstation to the router's console port to complete the configuration tasks. Which type of cable would you most likely use? • Straight-through • Crossover • RG-6 • Rollover
Rollover Use a rollover cable to connect a workstation to the console port of a router or a switch. The rollover cable has an RJ-45 connector on one end to connect to the console port, and a serial connector on the other end to connect to the serial port of the workstation. You then run a terminal emulation program on the workstation to connect to the console of the router or switch to perform configuration and management tasks.
You manage the two-location network shown in the exhibit. Workstations and servers at each location connect to a patch panel using behind-the-wall wiring. The patch panel then connects network hosts to one of three 1000BASE-T switches. Routers are implemented at each location to connect the two networks together using a private WAN. The switch ports have auto-MDIX disabled. Drag the cable type on the left to the most appropriate network location on the right. Each cable type can be used more than once.

Your organization provides its sales force with Windows RT 8.1 tablets to use while visiting customer sites. You manage these devices by enrolling them in your cloud-based Microsoft Intune account. One of your sales representatives left her tablet at an airport. The device contains sensitive information and you need to remove it in case the device is compromised. Which Intune portal should you use to perform a remote wipe? • Security Portal • Admin Portal • Company Portal • Account Portal
Admin Portal The Admin Portal in Windows Intune is used to manage enrolled devices, including sending remote wipe commands. The Account Portal in Windows Intune is used to manage subscriptions, users, groups, and domains. End users can also use the Account Portal to manage their passwords. The Company Portal in Windows Intune is used by end users to manage their own account and enroll devices. Windows Intune does not provide a Security Portal.
Components within your server room are failing at a rapid pace. You discover that the humidity in the server room is at 60% and the temperature is at 80 degrees. What should you do to help reduce problems? • Add a separate A/C unit in the server room • Add a de-humidifier to the server room • Add a humidifier to the server room • Add line conditioners in the server room
Add a separate A/C unit in the server room Keep temperature between 70 and 74 degrees to prevent components from overheating. In many cases, the server room will be the hottest location in your building because of the heat generated by the computer components. In most cases, you will need a separate A/C unit installed to the server room so that you can maintain the temperature in the server room without adversely affecting the rest of the building. Keep humidity between 40 and 60 percent to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).

You are implementing a SOHO network for a local business. The ISP has already installed and connected a cable modem in the business. The business has four computers that need to communicate with each other and the Internet. The ISP's cable modem has only one RJ45 port. You need to set up the network with the following in mind: • Spend as little money as possible. • Do not purchase unnecessary equipment. • Computers need to have a gigabit connection to the network. • New devices should not require management or configuration. You examine each computer and notice only one of the four computers has a wireless NIC; they all have Ethernet NICs. What should you purchase?
An unmanaged switch and CAT5e cabling. Switches offer guaranteed bandwidth to each switch port and full-duplex communication. Unmanaged switches are autonomous in their function, requiring no port management or configuration. CAT5e cabling supports transfer speeds up to 1000 Gbps.
Which of the following is the best recommendation for applying hotfixes to your servers?
Apply only the hotfixes that apply to software running on your systems Be sure to test patches before applying patches within your organization. A common strategy is to: 1. Apply and test patches in a lab environment. 2. Deploy patches to a set of systems, such as a single department. 3. Deploy patches system-wide. You do not necessarily need to install every hotfix, patch, or service pack that is released. For example, if a hotfix applies to a service that you have disabled on your servers, applying that hotfix is not required. Service packs typically include all hotfixes and patches that have been released up to that point in time.
You provide IT support under contract for a dentist's office. The office has a limited number of wireless clients, so a simple wireless router is used to provide WiFi access. On your latest visit, you check the manufacturer's website and discover that an update has been released by the wireless router manufacturer. You decide to download and install the update. Click the option you should use in the wireless router's configuration interface to prepare the device for the update.
Backup Configurations Prior to applying the update, you should back up the wireless router's existing configuration. That way, you can restore the device to a working state in the event the update causes more problems than it solves.
You are building a wireless network within and between two buildings. The buildings are separated by more than 3000 feet. The wireless network should meet the following requirements: • Wireless data within Building 1 should be protected with the highest degree of security. • Wireless data within Building 2 should be accessible and permitted by any wireless client. • Wireless signals between Buildings 1 and 2 should be protected with the highest degree of security. • Wireless signals within Buildings 1 and 2 should cover the whole structure, but not extend to the outside. For each location on the image below, you need to select the following: • Antenna option • Security option Tip: Drag the items from the list on the left to the location identifier on the right.

All of the 802.11 standards for wireless networking support which type of communication path sharing technology? • Polling • Token passing • CSMA/CD • CSMA/CA
CSMA/CA 802.11x standards for wireless networking all support the CSMA/CA (carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance) type of communication path sharing technology. This CSMA/CA allows for multiple baseband clients to share the same communication medium. CSMA/CA works as follows: 1. The system asks for permission to transmit. 2. A designated authority (such as a hub, router, or access point), grants access when the communication medium is free. 3. The system transmits data and waits for an ACK (acknowledgment). 4. If no ACK is received, the data is retransmitted.
The media access control method of all Ethernet networks is __________
CSMA/CD Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) is the media access control method of all Ethernet networks.
Which wireless technology is used to enable 802.11a-ht and 802.11g-ht networks to emulate 802.11n network speeds? • Data encapsulation • Data compression • Channel bonding • "Borrowing" radio frequency bands below 1 GHz
Channel bonding
Which of the following enterprise wireless configuration strategies best keeps public wireless access separate from private wireless access?
Configure a guest access WLAN that uses open authentication and that isolates guest WLAN traffic from other clients on the same access point.
You have configured a wireless access point to create a small network. For security, you have disabled SSID broadcast. From a client computer, you try to browse to find the access point. You see some other wireless networks in the area, but cannot see your network to connect to it. What should you do?
Configure a profile on the wireless client. When the SSID broadcast is turned off, you must manually configure a profile on the client computer to identify the SSID of the access point. By disabling the SSID broadcast, wireless devices must be statically configured with the SSID before they can connect because they will be unable to dynamically detect the SSID.
You manage the website for your company. The website uses a cluster of two servers with a single shared storage device. The shared storage device uses a RAID 1 configuration. Each server has a single connection to the shared storage, and a single connection to your ISP. You want to provide redundancy such that a failure in a single component does not cause the website to be unavailable. What should you add to your configuration to accomplish this?
Connect one server through a different ISP to the Internet. In this scenario, the ISP is the single point of failure. If the ISP connection goes down, then the website is unavailable. Connecting one server to a different ISP, or both servers to two ISPs, will provide redundancy for the connection.
You want to create a rollover cable that has an RJ-45 connector on both ends. How should you connect the wires within the connectors?
Connect pin 1 to pin 8, pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and pin 4 to pin 5. When terminated with an RJ-45 connector on both ends, the wires within the connectors are rolled over to the opposite connector as follows: • Pin 1 is connected to pin 8 • Pin 2 is connected to pin 7 • Pin 3 is connected to pin 6 • Pin 4 is connected to pin 5 A crossover cable uses the T568A standard on one end and the T568B standard on the other end. The crossover cable connects pin 1 with pin 3 and pin 2 to pin 6. Connecting each pin to the same pin on the other end creates a straight-through cable.
You want to connect the LAN port on a router to the uplink port on a switch. The switch does not support auto-MDI. Which type of cable should you use? • Straight-through • Crossover • Loopback • Rollover
Crossover Use a crossover cable to connect a workstation or a router to the uplink port on a switch. Use a straight-through cable to connect the router to a regular switch port. Use a rollover cable to connect a workstation to the console port of a router. Use a loopback plug to allow a device to communicate with itself through its own network adapter.
You have two switches that you need to connect using their uplink ports. The switches do not support auto-MDI. Which type of cable should you use? • Crossover • Rollover • Loopback • Straight-through
Crossover Use a crossover cable to connect two switches through their uplink ports, or to connect the two switches through regular ports. Use a straight-through cable to connect the uplink port on one switch to a regular port on another switch. Use a rollover cable to connect a workstation to the console port of the switch. Use a loopback plug connected to a single port for troubleshooting.
You need to transfer data from one laptop to another and would like to use an Ethernet cable. You do not have a hub or a switch. Which type of cable should you use? • Loopback • Straight-through • Rollover • Crossover
Crossover Use a crossover cable to connect two devices together in a back-to-back configuration. Use a straight-through cable to connect a workstation to a hub or switch port. Use a rollover cable to connect a workstation to the console port of a router or a switch. Use a loopback plug to allow a device to communicate with itself through its own network adapter.
Which wireless networking component is used to connect multiple APs together? • IBSS • STA • DS • BSS
DS The Distribution System (DS) is the backbone or LAN that connects multiple APs (and BSSs) together. The DS allows wireless clients to communicate with the wired network and with wireless clients in other cells.
You have configured a wireless access point to create a small network. You have configured all necessary parameters. Wireless clients seem to take a long time to find the wireless access point. You want to reduce the time it takes for the clients to connect. What should you do? • Create a wireless profile on the client. • Change the channel on the access point to a lower number. • Enable SSID broadcast. • Decrease the beacon interval.
Decrease the beacon interval. A beacon is a frame that is sent out periodically by the access point. The beacon announces the access point and the characteristics of the network (such as the SSID, supported speeds, and the signaling method used). To improve access times, decrease the beacon interval.
Your wireless network consists of multiple 802.11n access points that are configured as follows: • SSID (hidden): CorpNet • Security: WPA2-PSK using AES • Frequency: 5.7 GHz • Bandwidth per channel: 20 MHz This network is required to support an ever-increasing number of devices. To ensure there is sufficient capacity, you want to maximize the available network bandwidth. What should you do? • Implement antenna diversity. • Switch to TKIP encryption. • Double the bandwidth assigned per channel to 40 MHz. • Upgrade to 802.11a access points.
Double the bandwidth assigned per channel to 40 MHz. 802.11n access points provide an option to allocate double the bandwidth per channel (increasing it to 40 MHz), which results in double the data rate.

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS): Uses a narrow frequency band and hops data signals in a predictable sequence Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS): Breaks data into pieces and sends the pieces across multiple frequencies in a defined range. Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM): Breaks data into very small data streams in order to send the information across long distances.
Which of the following is true of a wireless network SSID? • Is a 48-bit value that identifies an AP. • Allows devices to find a specific AP within an ESS. • Groups wireless devices together into the same logical network. • Used by STAs when roaming between APs.
Groups wireless devices together into the same logical network. The SSID, also called the network name, groups wireless devices together into the same logical network. • All devices on the same network (within the BSS and ESS) must have the same SSID. • The SSID is a 32-bit value that is inserted into each frame. The SSID is case sensitive. • The SSID is sometimes called the ESSID (Extended Service Set ID) or the BSSID (Basic Service Set ID). In practice, each term means the same thing; however, they are technically different.

You manage a server at work that has just been configured with a new application. Consequently, the server has crashed several times during the last week. You think you have the problem resolved, but you would like to be able to manage the server remotely in case there is a problem. Which of the following protocols would you use for remote management? (Select two.) • PPPoE • PPTP • L2TP • PPP • ICA • VNC
ICA VNC There are multiple protocols that can be used for remote desktop connections. • Virtual Network Computing (VNC) was originally developed for UNIX. Applications using VNC include RealVNC, TightVNC, UltraVNC, and Vine Server. • Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) is the protocol used by Citrix products (WinFrame and MetaFrame/XenApp). • The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is the protocol developed by Microsoft and used in Microsoft's Terminal Services, Remote Desktop, and Remote Assistance solutions. Aqua Connect has licensed RDP and created a version for Mac OS X as a server. PPP and PPPoE are protocols that are used to control remote access. Both provide for authentication, authorization, and accounting of remote access connections. PPTP and L2TP are VPN protocols that provide a secure connection through the Internet to a destination host or network.
The owner of a hotel has contracted with you to implement a wireless network to provide Internet access for patrons. The owner has asked that you implement security controls such that only paying patrons are allowed to use the wireless network. She wants them to be presented with a login page when they initially connect to the wireless network. After entering a code provided by the concierge at check-in, they should then be allowed full access to the Internet. If a patron does not provide the correct code, they should not be allowed to access the Internet. Under no circumstances should patrons be able to access the internal hotel network where sensitive data is stored. What should you do?
Implement a guest network. A guest network that is isolated from the hotel's network would be the best choice in this scenario. The guest network could be configured to require wireless network users to abide by certain conditions before they are allowed access to the wireless network using a captive portal. For example, it could require them to: • Agree to an acceptable use policy. • Provide a PIN or password. • Pay for access to the wireless network. • View information or advertisements about the organization providing the wireless network (such as an airport or hotel). When a wireless device initially connects to the wireless network, all traffic to or from that device is blocked until the user opens a browser and accesses the captive portal Web page. After providing the appropriate code, traffic is unblocked and the host can access the guest network.
Your organization has recently purchased 20 tablet devices for the Human Resource department to use for training sessions. You are concerned that these devices could represent a security risk to your network and want to strengthen their security profile as much as possible. Which actions should you take? (Select two.

You are configuring a wireless network with two wireless access points. Both access points connect to the same wired network. You want wireless users to be able to connect to either access point, and to be able to roam between the two access points. How should you configure the access points? • Different SSID, different channel • Same SSID, different channel • Same SSID, same channel • Different SSID, same channel
Same SSID, different channel When configuring multiple access points as part of the same extended service set (ESS), configure both access points with the same Service Set Identifier (SSID). The SSID is like a network name, and groups wireless devices together into the same logical network. All devices, including wireless clients, use the same SSID. Wireless access points that are in the same area should use different channels. If the channels are the same or overlap, devices connected to one access point might interfere with devices connected to the other access point in locations where the signal overlaps.

You have been struggling to keep the temperature in your server room under control. To address this issue, you have decided to reconfigure the room to create hot and cold aisles. Which of the following are true concerning this configuration? (Select two.)
The rear of your servers should face the hot aisle. The front of your servers should face the cold aisle. The use of hot and cold aisles within the server room is an effective method for reducing the temperature. The front of your servers should face the cold aisle. This allows them to draw in cooler air to reduce the temperature of system components. The rear of your servers should face the hot aisle. This ensures the hot air is directed away from other server systems. The hot aisle should face the air conditioner's return duct. This allows the heated air to be cooled by the AC system. The cold aisle should face the air conditioner's output ducts. This ensures cool air is drawn into servers to cool their components.

You are adding a new rack to your data center, which will house two new blade servers and a new switch. The new servers will be used for file storage and for a database server. The only space you have available in the data center is on the opposite side of the room from your existing rack, which already houses several servers, a switch, and a router. You plan to configure a trunk port on each switch and connect them with a cross-over UTP plenum cable that will be run through the suspended tile ceiling of the data center. To provide power for the new devices, you had an electrician install several new 20-amp wall outlets near the new rack. Each device in the rack will be plugged directly into one of these new wall outlets. What is wrong with this configuration? (Select two.)
You should implement redundant power supplies for the network devices. You should implement a UPS between the wall outlet and the network devices. In this scenario, all devices in the new rack will go down if the power from the wall outlet fails for some reason (such as a power outage). To prevent this from happening, a UPS should be implemented between the wall outlets and the network devices. In addition, the power supplies used by computing equipment have finite life spans and fail frequently. Because these are mission-critical devices, you should consider implementing redundant power supplies.
