Security Test #7

Which of the antenna types listed below provide a 360-degree horizontal signal coverage?

1. Dipole Antenna 2. Omnidirectional Antenna

Which of the following answers refer to highly directional antenna types used for long-range point-to-point bridging links?

1. Dish Antenna 2. Unidirectional Antenna

Frequency bands for IEEE 802.11 networks include:

5.0 GHz 2.4 GHz

An infrastructure device designed for connecting wireless/wired client devices to a network is commonly referred to as:

Access Point (AP)

In active-active mode, load balancers distribute network traffic across:

All servers

Which of the following acronyms refers to software or hardware-based security solutions designed to detect and prevent unauthorized use and transmission of confidential information outside of the corporate network?

DLP

Which of the following answers refers to a common antenna type used as a standard equipment on most Access Points (APs) for indoor Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) deployments?

Dipole Antenna

A network device designed for managing the optimal distribution of workloads across multiple computing resources is known as

Load balancer

A network security access control method whereby the 48-bit physical address assigned to each network card is used to determine access to the network is known as:

MAC Filtering

Disabling SSID broadcast:

Makes a WLAN harder to discover

In a round-robin method, each consecutive request is handled by

Next server in a cluster

A technology that allows for real-time analysis of security alerts generated by network hardware and applications is known as:

SIEM

Which of the following acronyms is used as a unique identifier for a WLAN (a wireless network name)?

SSID

In active-passive mode, load balancers distribute network traffic across:

Servers marked as active

Which of the terms listed below refers to a method that ignores the load balancing algorithm by consistently passing requests from a given client to the same server?

Session affinity

A type of architecture in which most of the network configuration settings of an Access Point (AP) are set and managed with the use of a central switch or controller is called:

Thin AP

A common example of channel overlapping in wireless networking could be the 2.4 GHz band used in 802.11 networks, where the 2.401 - 2.473 GHz frequency range is used for allocating 11 channels, each taking up a 22-MHz portion of the available spectrum. Setting up a wireless network to operate on a non-overlapping channel (1, 6, and 11 in this case) allows multiple networks to coexist in the same area without causing interference.

True

The term "Fat AP" refers to a stand-alone Access Point (AP) device type offering extended network configuration options that can be set and managed after logging in to the device.

True

Which of the following statements describing the functionality of SIEM is not true?

Use of re writable storage

What type of IP address would be assigned to a software-based load balancer to handle an Internet site hosted on several web servers, each with its own private IP address?

Virtual IP address

Which of the tools listed below would be of help in troubleshooting signal loss and low wireless network signal coverage?

WAP power level controls

Which of the terms listed below refers to computer data storage systems, data storage devices, and data storage media that can be written to once, but read from multiple times?

WORM

An optimal Wireless Access Point (WAP) antenna placement provides a countermeasure against:

War driving

An IP address that doesn't correspond to any actual physical network interface is called a virtual IP address (VIP/VIPA)

True

In a weighted round-robin method, each consecutive request is handled in a rotational fashion, but servers with higher specs are designated to process more workload.

True
