Which of the following means to use a network protocol to prioritize 1/1


certain types of traffic over others? *

Quality of Service (QoS)

Network Interface Card (NIC)

Roaming Aggressiveness

Transmit Power

Feedback

Quality of Service (Qo5) means using a network protocol to prioritize certain types of
traffic over others. Enterprise networks can

use QoS protocols to make sure traffic such as Voice over IP calling or video conferencing
is given higher priority than traffic where

the timing of packets is less important, such as ordinary file downloads.

The NIC joins a network by connecting the network adapter to a switch or wireless access
point. For proper end user device

configuration, the card settings should be configured to match the capabilities of the
network appliance.

Roaming Aggressiveness is when the adapter starts to move out of range of one access
point; it might try to connect to another one

with a better signal.

Transmit Power sets the radio power level. It is typically set to the highest possible by
default.

A new Wifi router is installed at home. What are some settings that can 0/1
be configured to provide the minimum layer of security and the latest
router features ? (Select two) *

Encryption

Firmware Update

Service Set ID (SSID)

String Passphrase

Correct answer

Firmware Update

String Passphrase

Feedback

Encryption is important, but in most cases, a default encryption method is already set, out
of the box. The default encryption allows

tor quick and immediate use of the router.

Updating the device firmware will provide the latest router features and even updated
security patches, if applicable.

The Service Set 1D (SSID) is a name set up on the Wifi router for users to quickly identify
and connect to it. The SSID can be

broadcast or hidden from public view.

A strong passphrase is the minimum layer of security required so that only users with the
passphrase can access the Wifi router

This prevents potential hackers from gaining easy access to the Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN).

What is a remote access tool that allows a user to ask for help from a 0/1
technician or co-worker? *

Remote Desktop

Remote Assistance

Remote Credential Guard

Telnet

Correct answer

Remote Assistance

Feedback

Remote Desktop allows a remote user to connect to a desktop machine. Ihe desktop
machine functions as a terminal server and the

dial-in machine as a Windows terminal. Ihis allows the remote user to work as though
physically connected to the dialed in

workstation.

Remote Assistance allows a user to ask for help from a technician or co-worker. The
"helper" can then connect and join the session

with the user. This session can include an interactive desktop, whereby the helper can
control the system of the user

If Remote Desktop is used to connect to a machine that has been compromised by


malware, the credentials of the user account

used to make the connection becomes highly vulnerable. Remote Credential Guard isa
means of mitigating this risk.

Telnet is not a remote access tool but is a command-line terminal emulation protocol and
program.

Which of these are firewall settings? (Select three) * 0/1

Post Forwarding

Create PTR Records

MAC Filtering

Content Filtering/Parental Controls

Correct answer

Post Forwarding

MAC Filtering

Content Filtering/Parental Controls

Feedback

Port forwarding means that the router takes requests from the Internet for a particular
protocol and sends them to a designated

host on the Local Area Network (LAN). Port forwarding is possible on a firewall.

PTR records are known as pointer records and are created in the reverse lookup zone on a
DNS (Domain Naming System) server. This

is not a firewall setting.

MAC filtering is a firewall setting where firewall, switches and access points can be
configured either with whitelists of allowed

MACs or blacklists of prohibited MACs.

Content filtering/parental controls are firewall settings which block websites and services
on the basis of keywords or site rating and

classification services.

What network connection uses an analog modem to dial another modem 0/1
on the Internet Service Provider (ISP) remote access server, which then
transfers the data onto the ISP's network and to and from the wider
Internet? *

Wireless WAN (Cellular)

Dial Up

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

SOHO (small office/home office)

Correct answer

Dial Up

Feedback

The Wireless WAN (Cellular) internet access refers to using an adapter to link to a cellular
phone provider's network via the nearest

available transmitter (base station).

The Dial Up connection uses an analog modem to dial another modem on the ISP's remote
access server, which then transfers the

data onto the ISP's network and to and from the wider Internet.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a "tunnel" through the Internet. It allows a remote
computer to join the local network securely.

Most residential and small office networks connect to the Internet via a S0HO "router".

In an organization, which physical configuration is a means of 0/1


establishing a more secure network? *

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

Port Triggering

Whitelist/Blacklist

Correct answer

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

Feedback

In an organization, a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a means of establishing a more secure


configuration. The idea of a DMZ is that

hosts placed within it are untrusted by the local network zone.

Services that require complex firewall configuration can use the Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP) framework to send instructions to

the firewall with the correct configuration parameters.

Port Triggering is used to set up applications that require more than one port.

Whitelists/blacklists are not physical configurations, but are firewall settings that work on
the basis of blacklisting URLs that are

known to harbor a particular type of content, whereas whitelisting a site means that it will
be accessible even if a filter is applied.

he modem type must be matched to the network type.

A router is a common SOHO network hardware that forwards packets over the WAN
(Internet) interface if they do not have a local

destination IP address. Some appliances may provide the ability to configure local
subnets, though this is not typical of the devices

supplied by the service providers

Which Secure Shell (SSH) method is when a client submits credentials 0/1
that are verified by the SSH server either against a local user database or
using an authentication server? *

Kerberos

Host-based authentication

Public Key authentication

Username/Password

Correct answer

Username/Password

Feedback

Kerberos allows Single Sign On (Sso) on a network that runs the Kerberos authentication
protocol. Windows Active Directory

domain networks use Kerberos.

Host-based authentication is when the server is configured with a list of authorized client
public keys. The client requests

authentication using one of these keys and the server generates a challenge with the
public key. The client must use the matching

private key it holds to decrypt the challenge and complete the authentication process. This
provides non-interactive login but there

is considerable risk from intrusion if a client host's private key is compromised.

Public key authentication cannot be used with fine-grained access controls as the access
is granted to a single user account. The

same sort of public key authentication method can be used for each user account. The
user's private key can be configured with a

passphrase that must be input to access the key, providing an additional measure of

authentication.

Username/password is when the client submits credentials that are verified by the SSH
server either against a local user database or

using an authentication server.

Which ipconfig switch and arguments forces a Dynamic Host 1/1


Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client to renew the lease it has for an
Internet Protocol (1P) address? *

ipconfig /all

ipconfig /release AdapterName

ipconfig /renew AdapterName

ipconfig /displaydns

Feedback

The ipconfig switch and argument ipconfig/all displays detailed configuration, including
DHCP and Domain Name System (DNS)

servers, MAC address, and NetBlOS status.

The ipconfig switch and argument ipconftig/release AdapterName releases the IP address
obtained from a DHCP server so that the
network adapter(s) will no longer have an IP address.

The ipconfig switch and argument ipconfig/renew AdapterName forces a DHCP client to
renew the lease it has for an IP address.

The ipconfig switch and argument ipconfig/displaydns displays the DNS resolver cache.
This contains host and domain names that

have been queried recently. Caching the name to IP mappings reduces network traffic.
