1. A computer is assigned an IP address of 169.254.33.16.

What can be
said about the computer, based on the assigned address?
 It cannot communicate outside its own network.
 It can communicate on the local network as well as on the Internet.
 It can communicate with networks inside a particular company with
subnets.
 It has a public IP address that has been translated to a private IP
address.
Explanation: If a computer is configured with DHCP but it cannot
communicate with the DHCP server in order to obtain an IP address, the
Windows OS automatically assigns a link-local IP, in the range of 169.254.0.0
to 169.254.255.255. The computer can only communicate with other
computers connected to the same 169.254.0.0/16 network and cannot
communicate with computers in another network.
2. A technician needs to add a new wireless device to a small
WLAN. The WLAN is a mixture of old and newer 802.11b and
802.11g devices. What choice for the new device would
provide the most interoperability for present and future
growth?
 Add a new 802.11a device.
 Add a new 802.11b device.
 Add a new 802.11g device.
 Add a new 802.11n device.
Explanation: 802.11n devices are interoperable with all the other
standards, and provide more bandwidth than the other standards. 802.11a is
not interoperable with any of the other standards. 802.11b and 802.11g
interoperate with each other, but do not provide the bandwidth supplied by
802.11n devices.
3. The current IP configuration of a small company is done
manually and is time-consuming. Because of increased
network growth, a technician needs a simpler way for IP
configuration of workstations. Which service would simplify
the workstation IP configuration task?
 APIPA
 DHCP
 DIPS
 ICMP
Explanation: In networks with more than a few hosts, DHCP simplifies the
addressing process. A DHCP server automatically assigns host IP addresses.
4. A computer can access devices on the same network but
cannot access devices on other networks. What is the
probable cause of this problem?
 The cable is not connected properly to the NIC.
 The computer has an invalid IP address.
  The computer has an incorrect subnet mask.
 The computer has an invalid default gateway
address.
Explanation: The default gateway is the address of the device a host uses
to access the Internet or another network. If the default gateway is missing or
incorrect, that host will not be able to communicate outside the local network.
Because the host can access other hosts on the local network, the network
cable and the other parts of the IP configuration are working.
5. What physical layer medium is used by DSL to provide
high-speed data communications?
 telephone lines
 television cable
 Satellite dish
 4G wireless radio
Explanation: DSL uses existing telephone lines to carry voice and data
traffic at the same time. DSL uses a filter to separate the traffic.
6. A user is setting up a home wireless network. Which type
of device must the user have in order to establish the
wireless network and provide access to the internet for
multiple home devices?
 hub
 wireless router
 switch
 patch panel
Explanation: A wireless router connects multiple wireless devices to the
network. It will then aggregate the internet access requests from home devices
to the internet.
7. A network technician is setting up a web server for a small
company. The company has obtained a domain name,
company-a.com, from a domain registry service. The new
web server is accessible through the IP address matching the
domain. However, when the technician types company-a.com
in the web browser, an error message displays saying that
“The connection has timed out”. What is the problem?
 The DHCP server is down.
 The domain name resolution failed.
 The URL needs to be http://company-a.com.
 A web page named home.html is required to be created first.
Explanation: A web URL is in the form of protocol://domain-name/resource.
The web server IP address can be used in place of domain-name. The
resource is the file structure and file name under the web service. If the
domain name is used in the URL, the IP address matching to the domain
name must be found first through the name resolution process. HTTP is the
default protocol by all web browsers so that a user is not required to type it
when accessing a website. Also, home.html is not required for a web server to
function. Even if the technician does not create any web page during the
installation and configuration process, major web servers have a built-in
mechanism to display a greeting message if the web server runs normally.
8. A network technician is setting up a web server for a small
company. The company has obtained a domain name
companyX.com from a domain registry service. The web
server must provide secure communication through SSL/TLS
technology. When the technician enters companyX.com in
the web browser, the unsecured part of the website is
displayed. What should the technician do to make the web
browser display the secure content of the web server?
 Use https://companyX.com as the URL.
 Use http://companyX.com as the URL.
 Use http://companyX.com::443 as the URL.
 Ensure that the domain name is successfully resolved.
Explanation: A web URL is in the form protocol://domain-name/resource.
HTTP is the default protocol used by all web browsers so that if a user does
not specify the protocol in the URL, HTTP is used by default. In order to
access the secure content serviced through SSL/TLS, a user must specify
HTTPS as the protocol in the URL.
9. A small company is upgrading its phone system with IP
phones. These phones can be used just by plugging into a
network port in the offices. Which technology would support
the IP phones?
 wireless power transfer
 Power over Ethernet
 NFC
 UPnP
Explanation: Power over Ethernet (PoE) is implemented through switches.
A PoE switch transfers small amounts of DC current over an Ethernet cable,
along with the data, to power PoE devices. Low voltage devices that support
PoE, such as IP phones, can be powered through the Ethernet cable.
10. A network technician is setting up a wireless access point
in the front office of a small company. The technician needs
to disable an option on the access point that would allow
devices to dynamically add themselves to the network
without configuration. Which technology should the
technician disable?
 NAT
 UPnP
 MAC filtering
 port forwarding
Explanation: Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a protocol that enables
devices to dynamically add themselves to a network without the need for user
intervention or configuration. Although convenient, UPnP is not secure. The
UPnP protocol has no method for authenticating devices. In addition, the
UPnP protocol has numerous security vulnerabilities. This protocol should be
disabled.
11. A small company connects data acquisition equipment to
the serial port of a computer. The equipment user has
reported that not all data is being received by the computer.
A technician wants to check the serial communication
between the equipment and the computer. Which tool can
the technician use to troubleshoot the serial communication?
 multimeter
 cable tester
 loopback plug
 tone generator and probe
Explanation: A loopback plug is a device that connects to a computer to
perform a diagnostic procedure called a loopback test. In a loopback test, a
signal is transmitted through a circuit and then returned to the sending device
to test the integrity of the data transmission.
12. An administrator is setting up a framework to support
access control on a network device. What type of server is
able to control those who are permitted to access a network
and track what actions they perform while accessing the
network?
 authentication server
 print server
 FTP server
 DNS server
13. A company is setting up one new laser printer on every
floor. What type of server will store the print jobs in a queue
and then spool them to the device when it is ready?
 print server
 FTP server
 proxy server
 web server

to access a network, what they can do while they are there,
and track what actions they perform while accessing the
network?
 AAA

files. What type of server will accomplish this task?
 FTP server

to access a network, what they can do while they are there,
and track what actions they perform while accessing the
network?
