type 2 hypervisors
VMWare Workstation is a popular virtualization platform for creating virtualized operating systems. It is, however, a type-2 hypervisor. A type-2 hypervisor installs on top of a host operating system and does not have direct access to the underlying hardware. VMWare is a type-2 hypervisor that is used on the Apple OS to virtualize various operating systems. Oracle VM VirtualBox is a free open-source type-2 hypervisor.
In a network thats starting to run slow on 24 port hub with 20 computers connected, causing collisions, what should you add to fix the collisions and improve the speed
a switch can breakdown the collisions to single collisions, meaning they would seperate, eliminating collisions, and sending data to the destination mac address

(4) Establish a plan of action to resolve the problem and then implement the solution. (5) Verify full system functionality and, if applicable, implement preventative measures. (6) Document findings, actions, and outcomes.
Your company decided to upgrade to 10Gpbs using 10GBASE-T networking. Which category of Ethernet cable would you use?
(CA)Cat 6A uses 500MHz and carries 10Gbps of data up to 100m (328ft) and is used in 10GBASE-T networks .Cat 5 uses 100MHz and carries 100Mbps of data up to 100m (328ft) and is used in 100BASE-TX networks. Cat 6 uses 250MHz and carries 1Gbps of data up to 100m (328ft) and can carry 10Gbps of data up to 55m (180ft). 1Gbps is used in 1000BASE-T networks and 10Gbps is used in 10GBASE-T networks. Cate 5e uses 100MHz and carries 1Gbps of data up to 100 (328ft) and is used in 1000Base-T networks.

connectors
*A straight tip connector (ST connector) is a connector used in fiber-optic cables that utilizes a bayonet-style plug and socket; used mostly for multi-mode networks. The ST connector setup allows for unidirectional communication, so two ST connectors and two fiber cables are used for bidirectional communication. *Coax installations use screw-down F-connectors. A broadband cable service, for example, is likely to use the F-connector for drop cables. *Twisted pair cabling for Ethernet is terminated using module RJ-45 connectors. RJ-45 connectors are also referred to as 8P8C, standing for 8-position/8-contact. *A BNC (Bayonet-Neill-Concelman) connector is a miniature quick connect/disconnect radio frequency connector used for coaxial cable.
network authentication methods
*Public key authentication is a network authentication method that can be configured to use a smartcard and PIN. The user's private key can be configured with a passphrase that must be input to access the key, providing an additional measure of protection compared to host-based authentication. *Kerberos allows Single Sign On (SSO) on a network that runs the Kerberos authentication protocol. Window Active Directory domain networks use Kerberos. *Username/password requires the client to submit credentials that are verified by SSH either against a local database or using an authentication server. *Host-based authentication provides non-interactive login, relying on public key authentication between the server and the client. There is considerable risk from intrusion if a client host's private key is compromised.

cellular digital communications speeds
5G is supposed to deliver a minimum of 100 Mbps for access from a fast-moving vehicle and 1 Gbps for stationary users. Speeds of up to 70 Gbps have been achieved under test conditions. Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a converged 4G standard supported by all network providers. LTE has a maximum downlink of 150 Mbps in theory, but around 20 Mbps is typical of real-word performance LTE Advanced (LTE-A) is intended to provide a 300 Mbps downlink, but this aspiration is not matched by real-world performance. Current typical performance for LTE-A is around 40 Mbps .CDMA2000/Evolution Data Optimized (EV-DO) are the main 3G standards deployed by CDMA network providers. EV-DO supports a 3.1 Mbps downlink and 1.8 Mbps uplink.

An apipa address
If no DHCP server is currently available, either because the server is temporarily down or because none exists on the network, the computer selects an IP address from a range of addresses (from 169.254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255) reserved for that purpose.
type 1 hypervisors
Microsoft Hyper-V is a type-1 hypervisor. Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016, and Windows 10 all include Hyper-V. There is also a stand-alone Windows Hyper-V Server product. Hyper-V can be enabled or disabled inside a Windows operating system. This alludes to being a type-2 hypervisor as it is within the Windows operating system. Because the scenario calls for a type-1 hypervisor, the best choice is to use the Windows Hyper-V Server, because it installs directly on bare metal. Oracle VM Server is an open-source type-1 hypervisor that uses Xen technology. VMWare ESX is a type-1 hypervisor that is popular with server virtualizations. VMWare ESX is a direct competitor with Microsoft's Server based Hyper-V.
What is true about RAID hardware configurations? *RAID hardware can be supported by the motherboard. *Server-level RAID drives are not hot swappable. *Low cost RAID solutions use SAS, server-class computers use SATA. *Hardware RAID is cheaper than software RAID.

What command is used to test if your own network card's driver is working properly?
The IP Address 127.0.0.1 is a localhost IP for testing your network interface card (NIC). This IP address is reserved for use with a loopback test
authenticating server
The authenticating server checks the credentials passed by the authenticator and grants or denies access.
Authenticator
The authenticator is the switch that enables the Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPoL) protocol and waits for the device to supply the authentication data.
supplicant
The supplicant is the client wireless device requesting access to the network under 802.1X. The supplicant must supply logon credentials to the authenticator.
