» It is responsible for connecting the computer or device to the network.

Why is it recommended that you disable the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) feature on your router?

» It makes it easy for hackers to discover the router and hijack the network.

What is a characteristic of connection-oriented communication?

» It provides assurance of packet delivery during data transmission.

A bridge divides a local network into two or more segments. Where collisions occur in these segments, the bridge can separate those collision domains. How does the bridge perform this function?

» It tracks MAC addresses of each port and only forwards communications out of the port associated with the destination MAC address.

The main directory standard for interoperability of network resources directories is X.500. What protocol was standardized by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to query and update an X.500 directory over which default protocol(s) and port(s)?

» Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) over TCP or UDP port 389

Within your large corporate environment, there are hundreds of users and you need to restrict data access based on different groupings easily distributing data over the network. Which device would you use?

» Managed Switch

What makes up the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) used for collecting information from, and configuring, network devices, such as servers, printers, hubs, switches, and routers on an Internet Protocol (IP) network?

» Management System and agents

The network needs to support a pre-Windows 2000 legacy system. What protocol will need to be enabled?

» NetBT

The use of patch cords, permanent links, and what other devices is referred to as a structured cabling system?

» Patch panels

Service Location Protocol (SLP) is needed to organize and locate resources such as printers, disk drives, databases, and email directories; in a network using TCP for its transport on which port number?

» Port 427

Applications implementing Server Message Block (SMB)/Common Internet File System (CIFS) use it to share files, printers, and network resources on Windows networks usually over TCP on which port number?

» Port 445

If you want to run some sort of server application from your network making it accessible to the Internet, what do you need to setup?

» Port forwarding

Which protocol and port number allows a user to view and control the desktop of a remote Windows computer?

» RDP over TCP port 3389

What is Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) over TCP port 143 used for?

» Retrieving email from an email server

What type of device is designed to filter and transfer data packets between dissimilar types of computer networks?

» Router

Why is Service Location Protocol (SLP), that uses Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) for its transport over port number 427, needed?

» SLP is needed to allow clients to locate servers and other services on the network.

What is the purpose of Applications implementing Server Message Block (SMB) sometimes referred to as Common Internet File System (CIFS)?

» SMB/CIFS shares files, printers, and other network resources on Windows networks usually over TCP port 445.

Neither hubs nor bridges are widely used on networks anymore. These appliances have been replaced by Ethernet switches. How are switches like hubs?

» Switches can connect nodes together in a single network, repeating and regenerating signals over multiple ports.

What is the result of disabling Service Set Identifier (SSID) broadcast on a wireless access point (WAP)?

» The access point will not advertise its name to clients within range. (Does not offer much protection against attackers)

The steps for setting up a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modem are the same as a cable modem except for one. How does connecting a cable modem differ from DSL?

» Troubleshooting and configuration

TCP (Transport Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) are the most widely used protocols that are built on the top of IP (Internet Protocol). Both protocols are used to send bits of data over the Internet, which is also known as 'packets'. How is UDP different from TCP?

» UDP is connectionless, faster, a lightweight transport layer, and does not ensure packets are received.

In the network, what does HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) use to submit a request for a resource?

» URL - Uniform Resource Locator

You are installing a Small Office Home Office (SOHO) network. What appliance would you use that requires no configuration, provides basic functions, and ties the network together?

» Unmanaged switch
