An organization has a security requirement that all network connections can be traced back to a user. A network administrator needs to identify a solution to
implement on the wireless network. Which of the following is the best solution?
Answer: A
Explanation:
Enterprise authentication is a method of securing wireless networks that uses an external authentication server, such as RADIUS, to verify the identity of users and
devices. Enterprise authentication can provide user traceability by logging the network connections and activities of each authenticated user. This can help the
organization meet its security requirement and comply with any regulations or policies that mandate user accountability12.

- (Topic 3)
A network technician is troubleshooting a port channel issue. When logging in to one of the switches, the technician sees the following information displayed:
Native VLAN mismatch detected on interface g0/1
Which of the following layers of the OSI model is most likely to be where the issue resides?
A. Layer 2
B. Layer 3
C. Layer 5
D. Layer 6
Answer: A
Explanation:
Layer 2 of the OSI model is the data link layer, which is responsible for transferring data between adjacent nodes on a network. It uses protocols such as Ethernet,
PPP, and HDLC to encapsulate data into frames and add MAC addresses for source and destination identification. It also uses protocols such as STP, LACP, and
CDP to manage the physical links and prevent loops, aggregate bandwidth, and discover neighboring devices12
A native VLAN mismatch is a common Layer 2 issue that occurs when two switches are connected by a trunk port, but have different native VLANs configured on
their interfaces. A native VLAN is the VLAN that is assigned to untagged frames on a trunk port. If the native VLANs do not match, the switches will drop the
untagged frames and generate an error message. This can cause connectivity problems and security risks on the network345
To resolve a native VLAN mismatch, the network technician should ensure that both switches have the same native VLAN configured on their trunk ports, or use a
different port mode such as access or general.

A Chief Information Officer wants to monitor network breaching in a passive, controlled manner. Which of the following would be best to implement?
A. Honeypot
B. Perimeter network
C. Intrusion prevention system
D. Port security
Answer: A
Explanation:
A honeypot is a decoy system that is designed to attract and trap hackers who attempt to breach the network. A honeypot mimics a real system or network, but
contains fake or non- sensitive data and applications. A honeypot can be used to monitor network breaching in a passive, controlled manner, as it allows the
network administrator to observe the hacker’s behavior, techniques, and tools without compromising the actual network or data. A honeypot can also help to divert
the hacker’s attention from the real targets and collect forensic evidence for further analysis or prosecution.

following authentication methods does this setup describe?
A. SSO
B. RADIUS
C. TACACS+
D. Multifactor authentication
E. 802.1X
Answer: A
Explanation:
The authentication method that this setup describes is SSO (Single Sign- On). SSO is a technique that allows a user to log in once to a main web application and
then access multiple other applications or services without having to re-enter credentials. SSO simplifies the user experience and reduces the number of
passwords to remember and manage. References: CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Certification Study Guide, page 371; The Official CompTIA Network+ Student
Guide (Exam N10-008), page 14-5.

NEW QUESTION 9
- (Topic 3)
Which of the following IP packet header fields is the mechanism for ending loops at Layer 3?
A. Checksum
B. Type
C. Time-to-live
D. Protocol
Answer: C
Explanation:
The time-to-live (TTL) field is the mechanism for ending loops at Layer 3, which is the network layer of the OSI model. The TTL field is an 8-bit field that indicates
the maximum time or number of hops that an IP packet can travel before it is discarded. Every time an IP packet passes through a router, the router decrements
the TTL value by one. If the TTL value reaches zero, the router drops the packet and sends an ICMP message back to the source, informing that the packet has
expired. This way, the TTL field prevents an IP packet from looping endlessly in a network with routing errors or cycles123.
The other options are not mechanisms for ending loops at Layer 3. The checksum field is a 16-bit field that is used to verify the integrity of the IP header. The
checksum field is calculated by adding all the 16-bit words in the header and taking the one’s complement of the result. If the checksum field does not match the
calculated value, the IP packet is considered corrupted and discarded12. The type field, also known as the type of service (TOS) or differentiated services code
point (DSCP) field, is an 8-bit field that is used to specify the quality of service (QoS) or priority of the IP packet. The type field can indicate how the packet should
be handled in terms of delay, throughput, reliability, or cost12. The protocol field is an 8-bit field that is used to identify the transport layer protocol that is
encapsulated in the IP packet. The protocol field can indicate whether the payload is a TCP segment, a UDP datagram, an ICMP message, or another protocol12.

A user calls the help desk to report being unable to reach a file server. The technician logs in to the user's computer and verifies that pings fall to respond back
when trying to reach the file server. Which of the following would BEST help the technician verify whether the file server is reachable?
A. netstat
B. ipconfig
C. nslookup
D. traceroute
Answer: D
Explanation:
Traceroute is a network diagnostic tool that allows you to trace the path that network packets take from one device to another. By running traceroute to the file
server, the technician can see the sequence of devices and networks that the packets pass through on their way to the file server. This can help the technician to
determine if there is a problem with the network connection between the user's computer and the file server, or if the issue is with the file server itself.

A customer is adding fiber connectivity between adjacent buildings. A technician terminates the multimode cable to the fiber patch panel. After the technician
connects the fiber patch cable, the indicator light
does not come on. Which of the following should a technician try first to troubleshoot this issue?
Answer: A
Explanation:
One of the most common causes of fiber connectivity issues is the reversal of the fibers. This means that the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) ports on one end of
the fiber link are not matched with the corresponding ports on the other end. For example, if the TX port on one device is connected to the TX port on another
device, and the same for the RX ports, then the devices will not be able to communicate with each other. This can result in no indicator light, no link, or no data
transmission12.
To troubleshoot this issue, the technician should first try to reverse the fibers. This can be done by swapping the connectors at one end of the fiber patch cable, or
by using a crossover adapter or cable that reverses the polarity of the fibers. The technician should then check if the indicator light comes on and if the devices can
communicate properly12. The other options are not the first steps to troubleshoot this issue. Reterminating the fibers is a time-consuming and costly process that
should be done only if there is evidence of physical damage or poor quality of the termination. Verifying the fiber size is not relevant in this scenario, as multimode
fiber is compatible with multimode fiber, and any mismatch in core diameter or bandwidth would result in high attenuation, not complete loss of signal. Examining
the cable runs for visual faults is a useful technique, but it requires a special tool called a visual fault locator (VFL) that emits a visible red light through the fiber and
shows any breaks or bends along the cable. However, a VFL cannot detect polarity issues or connector problems, so it is not sufficient to troubleshoot this issue

A company receives a cease-and-desist order from its ISP regarding prohibited torrent activity. Which of the following should be implemented to comply with the
cease-and-desist order?
A. MAC security
B. Content filtering
C. Screened subnet
D. Perimeter network
Answer: B
Explanation:
Content filtering is a technique that blocks or allows access to certain types of web content, based on predefined criteria or policies. Content filtering can be used
to comply with the cease-and-desist order by preventing users from accessing torrent sites or downloading torrent files, which are often used for illegal file sharing
or piracy. Content filtering can also protect the network from malware, phishing, or inappropriate content. References: CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Cert Guide -

Which of the following technologies would MOST likely De used to prevent the loss of connection between a virtual server and network storage devices?
A. Multipathing
B. VRRP
C. Port aggregation
D. NIC teaming
Answer: D
Explanation:
NIC teaming is a technology that allows multiple network interface cards (NICs) to work together as a single logical interface, providing redundancy and load
balancing. This can prevent the loss of connection between a virtual server and network storage devices if one of the NICs fails or becomes disconnected.

A large number of PCs are obtaining an APIPA IP address, and a number of new computers were added to the network. Which of the following is MOST likely
causing the PCs to obtain an APIPA address?
Answer: D
Explanation:
DHCP scope exhaustion means that there are no more available IP addresses in the DHCP server’s pool of addresses to assign to new devices on the network.
When this happens, the devices will use APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) to self-configure an IP address in the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.2541.
These addresses are not routable and can only communicate with other devices on the same local network.
A rogue DHCP server (A) is an unauthorized DHCP server that can cause IP address conflicts or security issues by assigning IP addresses to devices on the
network. A network collision (B) is a situation where two or more devices try to send data on the same network segment at the same time, causing interference and
data loss. Incorrect DNS settings © can prevent devices from resolving domain names to IP addresses, but they do not affect the DHCP process.
NEW QUESTION 33

Which of the following records can be used to track the number of changes on a DNS zone?
A. SOA
B. SRV
C. PTR
D. NS
Answer: A
Explanation:
The DNS ‘start of authority’ (SOA) record stores important information about a domain or zone such as the email address of the administrator, when the domain
was last updated, and how long the server should wait between refreshes. All DNS zones need an SOA record in order to conform to IETF standards. SOA
records are also important for zone transfers.

A security engineer is trying to connect cameras to a 12-port PoE switch, but only eight cameras turn on. Which of the following should the engineer check first?
Answer: B
Explanation:
The most likely reason why only eight cameras turn on is that the PoE switch does not
have enough power budget to supply all 12 cameras. The engineer should check the voltage and wattage ratings of the PoE switch and the cameras, and make
sure they are compatible and sufficient. The Ethernet cable type, transceiver compatibility, and DHCP addressing are less likely to cause this problem, as they
would affect the data transmission rather than the power delivery.

Which of the following combinations of single cables and transceivers will allow a server to have 40GB of network throughput? (Select two).
A. SFP+
B. SFP
C. QSFP+
D. Multimode
E. Cat 6a
F. Cat5e
Answer: CD
Explanation:
QSFP+ is a type of transceiver that supports 40 gigabit Ethernet (40GbE) over four lanes of 10 gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) each. QSFP+ stands for quad small form-
factor pluggable plus, and it is a compact and hot-swappable module that plugs into a QSFP+ port on a network device. QSFP+ transceivers can support various
types of cables and connectors, such as direct attach copper (DAC), active optical cable (AOC), or fiber optic cable. Multimode is a type of fiber optic cable that
supports multiple modes of light propagation within the core. Multimode fiber optic cable can carry higher bandwidth and data rates than single-mode fiber optic
cable, but over shorter distances. Multimode fiber optic cable is commonly used for short-reach applications, such as within a data center or a campus network.
Multimode fiber optic cable can be paired with QSFP+ transceivers to achieve 40GbE connectivity.
The other options are not correct because they do not support 40GbE. They are:
? SFP+. SFP+ is a type of transceiver that supports 10 gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) over a single lane. SFP+ stands for small form-factor pluggable plus, and it is a
compact and hot-swappable module that plugs into an SFP+ port on a network device. SFP+ transceivers can support various types of cables and connectors,
such as direct attach copper (DAC), active optical cable (AOC), or fiber optic cable. However, SFP+ transceivers cannot support 40GbE by themselves, unless
they are used in a breakout configuration with a QSFP+ transceiver.
? SFP. SFP is a type of transceiver that supports 1 gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) over a single lane. SFP stands for small form-factor pluggable, and it is a compact and
hot-swappable module that plugs into an SFP port on a network device. SFP transceivers can support various types of cables and connectors, such as twisted-
pair copper, coaxial cable, or fiber optic cable. However, SFP transceivers cannot
support 40GbE by themselves, unless they are used in a breakout configuration with a QSFP+ transceiver.
? Cat 6a. Cat 6a is a type of twisted-pair copper cable that supports 10 gigabit
Ethernet (10GbE) over distances up to 100 meters. Cat 6a stands for category 6 augmented, and it is an enhanced version of Cat 6 cable that offers better
performance and reduced crosstalk. Cat 6a cable can be paired with 10Gbase-T transceivers to achieve 10GbE connectivity. However, Cat 6a cable cannot
support 40GbE by itself, unless it is used in a breakout configuration with a QSFP+ transceiver.
? Cat 5e. Cat 5e is a type of twisted-pair copper cable that supports 1 gigabit
Ethernet (1GbE) over distances up to 100 meters. Cat 5e stands for category 5 enhanced, and it is an improved version of Cat 5 cable that offers better
performance and reduced crosstalk. Cat 5e cable can be paired with 1000base-T transceivers to achieve 1GbE connectivity. However, Cat 5e cable cannot
support 40GbE by itself, unless it is used in a breakout configuration with a QSFP+ transceiver.

A bank installed a new smart TV to stream online video services, but the smart TV was not able to connect to the branch Wi-Fi. The next day. a technician was
able to connect the TV to the Wi-Fi, but a bank laptop lost network access at the same time. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?
Answer: A
Explanation:
DHCP scope exhaustion is the situation when a DHCP server runs out of available IP addresses to assign to clients. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol, which is a network protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses and other configuration parameters to clients on a network. A DHCP
scope is a range of IP addresses that a DHCP server can distribute to clients. If the DHCP scope is exhausted, new clients will not be able to obtain an IP address
and connect to the network. This can explain why the smart TV was not able to connect to the branch Wi-Fi on the first day, and why the bank laptop lost network
access on the next day when the TV was connected. The technician should either increase the size of the DHCP scope or reduce the lease time of the IP
addresses to avoid DHCP scope exhaustion. References: [CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam Objectives], DHCP Scope Exhaustion - What Is It? How Do You
Fix It?

Which of the following fiber connector types is the most likely to be used on a network interface card?
A. LC
B. SC
C. ST
D. MPO
Answer: A
Explanation:
LC (local connector) is the most likely fiber connector type to be used on a network interface card, because it is a small form factor connector that can fit more
interfaces on a single card. LC connectors use square connectors that have a locking mechanism on the top, similar to an RJ45 copper connector. LC connectors
are also compatible with SFP (small form-factor pluggable) modules that are often used to link a gigabit Ethernet port with a fiber network12.

Which of the following, in addition to a password, can be asked of a user for MFA?
A. PIN
B. Favorite color
C. Hard token
D. Mother's maiden name
Answer: A
Explanation:
MFA stands for Multi-Factor Authentication, which is a method of verifying the identity of a user by requiring two or more pieces of evidence that belong to different
categories: something the user knows, something the user has, or something the user is. A password is something the user knows, and it is usually combined with
another factor such as a PIN (Personal Identification Number) or a hard token (a physical device that generates a one- time code) that the user has. A favorite
color or a mother’s maiden name are not suitable for MFA, as they are also something the user knows and can be easily guessed or compromised.

A network technician wants to find the shortest path from one node to every other node in the network. Which of the following algorithms will provide the FASTEST
convergence time?
A. A static algorithm
B. A link-state algorithm
C. A distance-vector algorithm
D. A path-vector algorithm
Answer: B
Explanation:
A link-state algorithm is a routing algorithm that uses information about the state of each link in the network to calculate the shortest path from one node to every
other node. A link-state algorithm requires each router to maintain a complete map of the network topology and exchange link-state advertisements with its
neighbors periodically or when a change occurs. A link-state algorithm uses a mathematical formula called Dijkstra’s algorithm to find the shortest path based on
the link costs. A link-state algorithm provides the fastest convergence time because it can quickly detect and adapt to network changes. References: [CompTIA

A. Memorandum of understanding
B. Business continuity plan
C. Disaster recovery plan
D. Service-level agreement
Answer: D
Explanation:
A Service-level agreement (SLA) is a document that outlines the responsibilities of a cloud service provider and the customer. It typically includes the agreed-upon
availability of the cloud service provider, the expected uptime for the service, and the cost of any downtime or other service interruptions. Consulting the SLA is the
best way for the management team to determine the promised availability of the cloud provider. Reference: CompTIA Cloud+ Study Guide, 6th Edition, page 28.

A customer is hosting an internal database server. None of the users are able to connect to the server, even though it appears to be working properly. Which of the
following is the best way to verify traffic to and from the server?
A. Protocol analyzer
B. nmap
C. ipconfig
D. Speed test
Answer: A
Explanation:
A protocol analyzer is the best way to verify traffic to and from the server. A protocol analyzer, also known as a packet sniffer or network analyzer, is a tool that
captures and analyzes the network packets that are sent and received by a device. A protocol analyzer can show the source and destination IP addresses, ports,
protocols, and payload of each packet, as well as any errors or anomalies in the network communication. A protocol analyzer can help troubleshoot network
connectivity issues by identifying the root cause of the problem, such as misconfigured firewall rules, incorrect routing, or faulty network devices12.
To use a protocol analyzer to verify traffic to and from the server, the customer can follow these steps:
? Install a protocol analyzer tool on a device that is connected to the same network
as the server, such as Wireshark3 or Microsoft Network Monitor4.
? Select the network interface that is used to communicate with the server, and start capturing the network traffic.
? Filter the captured traffic by using the IP address or hostname of the server, or by using a specific port or protocol that is used by the database service.
? Analyze the filtered traffic and look for any signs of successful or failed connection attempts, such as TCP SYN, ACK, or RST packets, or ICMP messages.
? If there are no connection attempts to or from the server, then there may be a problem with the network configuration or device settings that prevent the traffic
from reaching the server.
? If there are connection attempts but they are rejected or dropped by the server, then there may be a problem with the server configuration or service settings that
prevent the traffic from being accepted by the server.
The other options are not the best ways to verify traffic to and from the server. nmap is a tool that can scan a network and discover hosts and services, but it
cannot capture and analyze the network packets in detail. ipconfig is a command that can display and configure the IP settings of a device, but it cannot monitor or
test the network communication with another device. Speed test is a tool that can measure the bandwidth and latency of a network connection, but it cannot
diagnose or troubleshoot specific network problems.

only providing these
programs on an as-needed basis. Which of the following models would meet this requirement?
A. Multitinency
B. laaS
C. SaaS
D. VPN
Answer: C
Explanation:
SaaS stands for Software as a Service and is a cloud computing model where software applications are hosted and delivered over the internet by a service
provider. SaaS can help the company cut the overall cost of its IT budget by eliminating the need to purchase, install, update, and maintain various computer
programs on its own devices. The company can access the programs on an as-needed basis and pay only for what it uses. Multitenancy is a feature of cloud
computing where multiple customers share the same physical or virtual resources. IaaS stands for Infrastructure as a Service and is a cloud computing model
where computing resources such as servers, storage, and networking are provided over the internet by a service provider. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network
and is a technology that creates a secure and encrypted connection over a public network.

A network engineer designed and implemented a new office space with the following characteristics:
One month after the office space was implemented, users began reporting dropped signals when entering another room and overall poor connections to the 5GHz
network. 'which of the following should the engineer do to best resolve the issue?
Answer: D
Explanation:
The best solution to resolve the issue of dropped signals and poor connections to the 5GHz network is to change to directional antennas. Directional antennas are
antennas that focus the wireless signal in a specific direction, increasing the range and strength of the signal. Directional antennas are suitable for environments
where there are obstacles or interference that can weaken or block the wireless signal. In the image, the office space has several walls and doors that can reduce
the signal quality of the 5GHz network, which has a shorter wavelength and higher frequency than the 2.4GHz network. By using directional antennas, the network
engineer can aim the wireless signal towards the desired areas and avoid the signal loss caused by the walls and doors. References: CompTIA Network+ N10-008

Which of the following protocols uses Dijkstra’s algorithm to calculate the LOWEST cost between routers?
A. RIP
B. OSPF
C. BGP
D. EIGRP
Answer: B
Explanation:
OSPF stands for Open Shortest Path First and is a link-state routing protocol that uses Dijkstra’s algorithm to calculate the lowest cost between routers. OSPF
assigns a cost value to each link based on factors such as bandwidth, delay, or reliability, and builds a map of the network topology. OSPF then uses Dijkstra’s
algorithm to find the shortest path from each router to every other router in the network1. RIP stands for Routing Information Protocol and is a distance-vector
routing protocol that uses hop count as the metric to find the best path. BGP stands for Border Gateway Protocol and is a path-vector routing protocol that uses
attributes such as AS path, local preference, or origin to select the best route. EIGRP stands for Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol and is a hybrid
routing protocol that uses a composite metric based on bandwidth, delay, load, and reliability.

authentication, confidentiality, and integrity. HTTPS is commonly used for online transactions, such as banking and shopping, where security and privacy are
important
A. Honeynet
B. Data-at-rest encryption
C. Time-based authentication
D. Network segmentation
Answer: D
Explanation:
Network segmentation is the process of dividing a network into smaller subnets or segments, each with its own security policies and access controls. This can help
isolate OT devices from IT devices, guest networks, and other potential threats, as well as improve network performance and efficiency. Network segmentation is a
recommended security practice for OT environments, as it can limit the attack surface, contain the damage of a breach, and comply with regulatory standards.

A. SFTP
B. Fibre Channel
C. iSCSI
D. FTP
Answer: B
Explanation:
A SAN also employs a series of protocols enabling software to communicate or prepare data for storage. The most common protocol is the Fibre Channel
Protocol (FCP), which maps SCSI commands over FC technology. The iSCSI SANs will employ an iSCSI protocol that maps SCSI commands over TCP/IP.
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is a protocol used to prevent loops in Ethernet networks, and it is not a medium for communication in a storage area network (SAN).
However, Fibre Channel is a protocol that is specifically designed for high-speed data transfer in SAN environments. It is a dedicated channel technology that
provides high throughput and low latency, making it ideal for SANs. Therefore, Fibre Channel would be the best protocol for the company to use for its SAN. SFTP
(Secure File Transfer Protocol), iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface), and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) are protocols used for transferring files over a
network and are not suitable for use in a SAN environment.
A. Route poisoning
B. Time to converge
C. Scalability
D. Unicast
E. Adjacent neighbors
F. Maximum transmission unit
Answer: BC
Explanation:
The disadvantages of RIP (Routing Information Protocol) include the following.
---Outdated, insecure, and slow. This is your parents' protocol. It was a thing before the Web was born.
---The more well-known problem of the 15 hop limitation in which data must travel
---Convergence time is terrible for information propagation in a network
---Metrics. It determines the number of hops from source to destination, and gives no regard to other factors when determining the best path for data to travel
---Overhead. A good example would be routing tables. These are broadcast at half-minute intervals to other routers regardless of whether the data has changed or
not. It's essentially like those old cartoons where the town guard in the walled city cries out, '10 o' the clock and all is well!'.
RIPv2 introduced more security and reduced broadcast traffic, which is relevant for some available answers here.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The most appropriate method to improve the security of the environment would be to implement role-based access control (RBAC). With RBAC, users are granted
access to the network based on their role within the organization. This allows for more granular access control, as different roles may require different levels of
access. Additionally, this ensures that users only have access to the resources they need and no more. This helps to reduce the risk of unauthorized access or
misuse of the network. References and further information can be found in the CompTIA Network+ Study Manual, Chapter 8, Access Control.
RBAC is a method of restricting network access based on the roles of individual users within the organization. With RBAC, users are granted access only to the
resources they need to perform their specific job functions. This approach reduces the risk of unauthorized access, provides greater visibility into user activity, and
simplifies network management. Changing the default permissions to implicit deny may improve security, but it could also cause issues for legitimate users who
require access to specific resources. Configuring uniform ACLs and NAC for contractors is a step in the right direction, but it may not be enough to address the
overall lack of a formal process for granting network permissions. Deploying an RDP server to centralize access to the network is not a viable solution, as it would
not address the root cause of the security incidents.
Therefore, the most appropriate option is to implement role-based access control. Reference: CompTIA Network+ Study Guide, Fourth Edition, Chapter 7, section

Answer: A
A. RPO
B. MTTR
C. FHRP
D. MTBF
Answer: B
Explanation:
MTTR is directly related to how quickly a system can be repaired if any major part fails3. The management team requires that the infrastructure be capable of
being repaired in less than 60 minutes, which means they have a low MTTR requirement.
MTTR stands for Mean Time To Repair and is a metric used to measure the average amount of time it takes to repair a failed component or system. In this case,
the requirement is for the infrastructure to be capable of being repaired in less than 60 minutes if any major part fails, which means the MTTR should be less than
60 minutes.
A. VPN headend
B. Proxy server
C. Bridge
D. Load balancer
Answer: A
Explanation:
Host-to-Site, or Client-to-Site, VPN allows for remote servers, clients, and other hosts to establish tunnels through a VPN gateway (or VPN headend) via a private
network. The tunnel between the headend and the client host encapsulates and encrypts data.
A. NAT gateways
B. Service endpoints
C. Network security groups
D. Virtual private cloud
Answer: C
Explanation:
Network security groups are cloud components that can filter inbound and outbound traffic between cloud resources based on rules and priorities. Network security
groups can be applied to virtual machines, subnets, or network interfaces to control the network access and security. Network security groups can allow or deny
traffic based on the source, destination, port, and protocol of the packets. Network security groups are different from NAT gateways, service endpoints, and virtual
private clouds, which are other cloud components that have different functions and purposes.

D. NetFlow exporter
Answer: D
Explanation:
Port mirroring is a feature that can be used to enable monitoring of all packets arriving at an interface. This feature is used to direct a copy of all traffic passing
through the switch to a monitoring device, such as a network analyzer. This allows the switch to be monitored with the network analyzer in order to identify any
malicious or suspicious activity. Additionally, port mirroring can be used to troubleshoot network issues, such as latency or poor performance.

A network administrator is in the process of installing 35 PoE security cameras. After the administrator installed and tested the new cables, the administrator
installed the cameras. However, a small number of the cameras do not work. Which of the following is the most likely reason?
Answer: B
Explanation:
The power budget is the total amount of power that a PoE switch or injector can provide to the connected PoE devices. If the power budget is exceeded, some of
the PoE devices may not receive enough power to function properly. To troubleshoot this issue, the network administrator should check the power consumption of
each PoE device and the power capacity of the PoE switch or injector.

Answer: A
A. UDP
B. ARP
C. ICMP
D. TCP
Answer: C
Explanation:
ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is a protocol that is used to send error and control messages between network devices, such as ping requests and
replies. ICMP is being blocked by the firewall, which prevents the network technician from pinging the web server. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a
protocol that provides reliable and ordered delivery of data between network devices, such as web service requests and responses using HTTP (Hypertext
Transfer Protocol). TCP is not being blocked by the firewall, which allows the network technician to verify connectivity to the web service using Telnet. UDP (User
Datagram Protocol) is a protocol that provides fast and efficient delivery of data between network devices, but does not guarantee reliability or order. UDP is used
for applications such as streaming media or online gaming. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a protocol that resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses on a
local network. References: [CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam Objectives], Domain 2.0 Networking Concepts, Objective 2.1: Compare and contrast OSI and

A. NFV
B. SDWAN
C. Networking as code
D. VIP
Answer: A
Explanation:
The valid alternative to maintain a deployed proxy technology while saving physical space in the data center by moving the network service to the virtualization
infrastructure is NFV (Network Function Virtualization). NFV is a technique that allows network functions, such as proxies, firewalls, routers, or load balancers, to
be implemented as software applications running on virtual machines or containers. NFV reduces the need for dedicated hardware devices and improves
scalability and flexibility of network
services. References: CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Certification Study Guide, page 440; The Official CompTIA Network+ Student Guide (Exam N10-008), page
16-11.
NFV can be used to virtualize a wide variety of network functions, including proxy servers. By virtualizing proxy servers, organizations can save physical space in
the data center and
improve the scalability and efficiency of their networks.
To virtualize a proxy server using NFV, an organization would need to deploy a virtualization platform, such as VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V. The
organization would then need to install a virtual proxy server appliance on the virtualization platform.
Once the virtual proxy server appliance is installed, it can be configured and used just like a physical proxy server.
NFV is a relatively new technology, but it is quickly gaining popularity as organizations look for ways to improve the efficiency and scalability of their networks.

D. MU-MIMO
Answer: A
Answer: B
Explanation:
VLAN hopping is a type of attack that allows an attacker to access or manipulate traffic on a different VLAN than the one they are connected to. One way to
prevent VLAN hopping is to change the default VLAN on a switch. The default VLAN is the VLAN that is assigned to all ports on a switch by default, usually VLAN
1. If an attacker connects to an unused port on a switch that has not been configured with a specific VLAN, they can access or spoof traffic on the default VLAN.
By changing the default VLAN to an unused or isolated VLAN, the network administrator can prevent unauthorized access or interference with legitimate traffic on
other VLANs. References: https://www.comptia.org/training/books/network-n10-008-study-guide (page 308)
A. The AP is configured with 2.4GHz frequency, which the new personal devices do not support.

C. The AP is configured with 5Ghz frequency with band-steering capabiäties.
D. The AP is configured with 5Ghz frequenc
E. which the new personal devices do not support
Answer: B
Explanation:
Band-steering is a feature that allows an AP to steer dual-band capable clients to the less congested 5GHz frequency, leaving the 2.4GHz frequency for legacy
clients. Without band- steering, the AP may have more clients competing for the same channel on the 2.4GHz frequency, resulting in high latency and airtime
contention.
References:
? According to the CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam Objectives, one of the topics covered in the exam is “Given a scenario, use appropriate wireless
technologies and configurations”. One of the subtopics is “Band steering” 1.
? According to the PoliFi: Airtime Policy Enforcement for WiFi paper, “Band steering allows the access point to disable the 2.4 GHz band from probing the client
device, so it responds only to the 5 GHz band, reducing the congestion on the 2.4 GHz band while taking advantage of the faster 5GHz band to improve user’s
network experience.” 2.

A. Out-of-band access
B. Split-tunnel connections
C. Virtual network computing
D. Remote desktop gateways
Answer: A
Explanation:
Out-of-band access is a remote access method that provides a separate, independent channel for accessing network devices and systems. Out-of-band access
uses a dedicated network connection or a separate communication channel, such as a dial- up or cellular connection, to provide access to network devices and
systems. This allows an administrator to access the management network even if the primary network connection is unavailable or impaired. Out-of-band access is
a good solution for providing a redundant link to the management network in an incident response scenario because it can be used to access the network even if
the primary connection is unavailable or impaired.

A. Establish a theory.
B. Implement the solution.
C. Create a plan of action.
D. Verify functionality.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Creating a plan of action is the step of the troubleshooting methodology that would most likely include checking through each level of the OSI model after the
problem has been identified. According to the web search results, the troubleshooting methodology consists of the following steps: 12
? Define the problem: Identify the symptoms and scope of the problem, and gather relevant information from users, devices, and logs.
? Establish a theory: Based on the information collected, hypothesize one or more possible causes of the problem, and rank them in order of probability.
? Test the theory: Test the most probable cause first, and if it is not confirmed, eliminate it and test the next one. Repeat this process until the root cause is found
or a new theory is needed.
? Create a plan of action: Based on the confirmed cause, devise a solution that can resolve the problem with minimal impact and risk. The solution may involve
checking through each level of the OSI model to ensure that all layers are functioning properly and that there are no configuration errors, physical damages, or
logical inconsistencies34
? Implement the solution: Execute the plan of action, and monitor the results. If the problem is not solved, revert to the previous state and create a new plan of
action.
? Verify functionality: Confirm that the problem is fully resolved and that the network is restored to normal operation. Perform preventive measures if possible to
avoid recurrence of the problem.
? Document the findings: Record the problem description, the solution, and the outcome. Update any relevant documentation, such as network diagrams, policies,
or procedures.

A. Traffic shaping
B. Traffic policing
C. Traffic marking
D. Traffic classification
Answer: B
Explanation:
Traffic policing is a mechanism that monitors the traffic in any network and enforces a bandwidth limit by discarding packets that exceed a certain rate1. This can
reduce congestion and ensure fair allocation of bandwidth among different applications or users. However, discarding packets can also affect the performance and
quality of some applications, especially those that are sensitive to packet loss, such as voice or video. Traffic shaping is a congestion control mechanism that
delays packets that exceed a certain rate instead of discarding them1. This can smooth out traffic bursts and avoid packet loss, but it also introduces latency and
jitter. Traffic shaping can be beneficial for applications that can tolerate some delay but not packet loss, such as file transfers or streaming.
Traffic marking is a mechanism that assigns different priority levels to packets based on their type, source, destination, or other criteria2. This can help to
differentiate between different classes of service and apply different policies or treatments to them. However, traffic marking does not enforce bandwidth limits by
itself; it only provides information for other mechanisms to act upon.
Traffic classification is a process that identifies and categorizes packets based on their characteristics, such as protocol, port number, payload, or behavior. This
can help to distinguish between different types of traffic and apply appropriate policies or actions to them. However, traffic classification does not enforce
bandwidth limits by itself; it only provides input for other mechanisms to use.
A. 802.11ac
B. 802.11ax
C. 802.11g
D. 802.11n
Answer: B
Explanation:
802.11ax is the latest and most advanced wireless standard, providing higher speeds, lower latency, and more capacity than previous standards. It also supports
OFDMA, which allows multiple devices to share a channel and reduce congestion. The other options are older standards that have lower bandwidth, range, and
efficiency than 802.11ax. Therefore, 802.11ax is the best option for the coffee shop owner who wants to provide high speeds even when the network is congested.
A. Client-to-site VPN
B. Clientless VPN
C. RDP
D. Site-to-site VPN
E. SSH
Answer: D
A. Speed
B. Duplex
C. Errors
D. VLAN
Answer: A
A. Packet loss
B. Bottlenecking
C. Channel overlap
D. Network congestion
Answer: B
Explanation:
The most likely issue is bottlenecking. Bottlenecking occurs when a component or device limits the performance or capacity of the network. In this case, the IPS
(intrusion prevention system) may be causing a bottleneck by inspecting and filtering the incoming and outgoing traffic, which reduces the speed and bandwidth
available for the network devices12
To confirm this issue, the network administrator can compare the speed test results before and after installing the IPS, and check the IPS configuration and logs for
any errors or warnings. The network administrator can also try to bypass the IPS temporarily and run the speed test again to see if there is any improvement3
If the IPS is indeed the cause of the bottleneck, the network administrator can try to optimize the IPS settings, such as adjusting the inspection rules, thresholds,
and priorities, to reduce the processing overhead and latency. Alternatively, the network administrator can upgrade the IPS hardware or software, or add more IPS
devices to balance the load and increase the throughput45

Explanation:
The hostname and ipconfig commands should be used to get the required information about the PC and share it with other users so they can connect to the
printer. The hostname command displays the name of the computer on a network. The ipconfig command displays the IP configuration of the computer, including
its IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers. These information are necessary for other users to locate and connect to the shared printer on the
network. For example, other users can use the UNC path \\hostname\printername or \\ipaddress\printername to access the shared printer. References: [CompTIA

A. SSO
B. Zero Trust
C. VPN
D. Role-based access control
Answer: B
Answer: A
Explanation:
Establishing a theory of probable cause is the third step in the general troubleshooting process, after identifying the problem and gathering information.
Establishing a theory of probable cause involves using the information gathered to formulate one or more possible explanations for the problem and testing them to
verify or eliminate them. In this scenario, the network technician has confirmed the problem exists
and should proceed to establish a theory of probable cause based on the information available, such as the network upgrade that was completed the night before.
Implementing a solution to fix the problem is the fifth step in the general troubleshooting process, after establishing a plan of action. Implementing a solution
involves applying the chosen method or technique to resolve the problem and verifying its effectiveness. In this scenario, the network technician has not
established a plan of action yet and should not implement a solution without knowing the cause of the problem.
Creating a plan of action to resolve the problem is the fourth step in the general troubleshooting process, after establishing a theory of probable cause. Creating a
plan of action involves selecting the best method or technique to address the problem based on the available resources, constraints, and risks. In this scenario, the
network technician has not established a theory of probable cause yet and should not create a plan of action without knowing the cause of the problem.
Documenting the problem and the solution is the seventh and final step in the general troubleshooting process, after implementing preventive measures.
Documenting the problem and the solution involves recording the details of the problem, its symptoms, its cause, its solution, and its preventive measures for
future reference and improvement. In this scenario, the network technician has not implemented preventive measures yet and should not document the problem
and the solution without resolving and preventing it.
Answer: B
Explanation:
mGRE (Multipoint GRE) is a type of GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel that allows a single interface to support multiple tunnel endpoints, instead of
having to configure a separate point-to-point tunnel for each destination. mGRE simplifies the configuration and management of large-scale VPN networks, such
as DMVPN (Dynamic Multipoint VPN), which is a Cisco technology that uses mGRE, NHRP (Next Hop Resolution Protocol), and IPsec to create secure and
dynamic VPN connections between a hub and multiple spokes1.
A network expansion caused by an increase in the number of branch locations to the headquarters would justify the deployment of an mGRE hub-and-spoke
topology, because it would reduce the complexity and overhead of configuring and maintaining multiple point- to-point tunnels between the hub and each spoke.
mGRE would also enable spoke-to- spoke communication without having to go through the hub, which would improve the network performance and efficiency23.
The other options are not directly related to the use case of mGRE hub-and-spoke topology. An increase in network security using encryption and packet
encapsulation can be achieved by using IPsec, which is a separate protocol that can be applied to any type of GRE tunnel, not just mGRE. A mandatory
requirement to increase the deployment of an SDWAN network can be met by using various technologies and vendors, not necessarily mGRE or DMVPN. An
improvement in network efficiency by increasing the useful packet payload can be achieved by using various techniques, such as compression, fragmentation, or
QoS, not specifically mGRE.

Answer: A
Explanation:
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol that allows network devices to communicate with a monitoring system and provide information about
their status, performance, and configuration. SNMP relies on MIBs (Management Information Bases), which are collections of objects that define the types of
information that can be accessed or modified on a device1.
When a firewall replacement occurs, the new firewall may have a different MIB than the old one, which means that the monitoring system may not be able to
recognize or interpret the data sent by the new firewall. This can cause some alarms and metrics related to network availability to stop updating on the monitoring
system. To fix this, the network administrator should modify the device’s MIB on the monitoring system, so that it matches the MIB of the new firewall and can
correctly process the SNMP data2.
The other options are not relevant to the issue. Configuring syslog to send events to the monitoring system would not affect the SNMP data, as syslog is a different
protocol that sends log messages from network devices to a central server. Using port mirroring to redirect traffic to the monitoring system would not help, as port
mirroring is a technique that copies traffic from one port to another for analysis or troubleshooting purposes, but does not change the format or content of the
traffic. Deploying SMB to transfer data to the monitoring system would not work, as SMB is a protocol that allows file sharing and access between network devices,
but does not support SNMP data.

A. traceroute
B. ping
C. route
D. nslookup
Answer: A
Explanation:
Asymmetric routing occurs when traffic does not traverse the same path in both directions of a conversation. This can cause problems when there are stateful
devices, such as firewalls or NAT devices, in the path that expect the traffic to be symmetrical. Asymmetric routing can also result in suboptimal TCP performance,
as TCP assumes that the SYN and ACK packets take the same path1.
To validate the theory of asymmetric routing, the engineer should run the traceroute command on both the source and the destination network devices. The
traceroute command shows the route that packets take to reach a destination, by displaying the IP addresses and hostnames of the routers along the path, as well
as the time taken for each hop. By comparing the output of the traceroute command from both ends, the engineer can determine if the traffic is taking different
paths in each direction, and identify where the asymmetry occurs2.
The ping command is not sufficient to validate the theory of asymmetric routing, as it only tests the connectivity and latency between two devices, but does not
show the intermediate hops or the path taken by the packets. The route command shows the routing table of a device, but does not show the actual path taken by
the packets. The nslookup command resolves a hostname to an IP address, or vice versa, but does not show the route or the connectivity between two devices.

A. ping
B. arp
C. tracert
D. route
Answer: C
Explanation:
The tracert command is a network diagnostic tool that traces the route of packets from the source host to the destination host. It displays the IP addresses and
hostnames of the routers along the path, as well as the time taken for each hop. The tracert command can be used to determine if traffic is using the new route by
comparing the output before and after adding the route. If the new route is effective, the tracert command should show a different or shorter path to the destination
host.

Answer: C
Explanation:
An extended service set (ESS) is a type of SSID that allows multiple access points (APs) to share the same SSID and provide seamless roaming for wireless
clients. An ESS consists of two or more basic service sets (BSSs), which are individual APs with their own SSIDs. A distribution system (DS), such as a wired
Ethernet LAN, connects the BSSs and enables data transfer between them. A wireless client can associate with any AP in the ESS and move from one BSS to
another without losing connectivity or reauthenticating.

A network administrator is notified that a user cannot access resources on the network. The network administrator checks the physical connections to the
workstation labeled User 3 and sees the Ethernet is properly connected. However, the network interface's indicator lights are not blinking on either the computer or
the switch. Which of the following is the most likely cause?
Answer: C
Explanation:
If the port is shut down, it means that the switch has disabled the port and is not sending or receiving any traffic on it. This would explain why the network
interface’s indicator lights are not blinking on either the computer or the switch, and why the user cannot access resources on the network. The port could be shut
down manually by the network administrator, or automatically by the switch due to security or error conditions.

Answer: D
Explanation:
Port mirroring is a feature that allows a network switch to copy the traffic from one or more ports to another port for monitoring purposes. Port mirroring can be
used to analyze the network traffic from a specific source, destination, or protocol without affecting the normal operation of the network. Port mirroring can also
help to detect and troubleshoot network problems, such as performance issues, security breaches, or policy violations.
The other options are not correct because they do not meet the requirements of the question. They are:
? Turn on port security. Port security is a feature that restricts the number and type
of devices that can connect to a switch port. Port security can help to prevent unauthorized access, MAC address spoofing, or MAC flooding attacks. However,
port security does not allow the network security engineer to view the traffic from the user’s PC to the switch.
? Implement dynamic ARP inspection. Dynamic ARP inspection (DAI) is a feature
that validates the ARP packets on a network and prevents ARP spoofing attacks. DAI can help to protect the network from man-in-the-middle, denial-of-service, or
data interception attacks. However, DAI does not allow the network security engineer to view the traffic from the user’s PC to the switch.
? Configure 802.1Q. 802.1Q is a standard that defines how to create and manage
virtual LANs (VLANs) on a network. VLANs can help to segment the network into logical groups based on function, security, or performance. However, 802.1Q
does not allow the network security engineer to view the traffic from the user’s PC to the switch.

Answer: A
Explanation:
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology in Ethernet networks by actively blocking certain links and enabling others.
STP prevents loops by putting some of the links in a blocking state, effectively creating a loop- free topology. This ensures that there is only one active path
between two devices, which helps prevent network loops and the associated problems (such as broadcast storms) that can result from them. STP is used to create
a fault-tolerant ring between three switches within a Layer 2 network.

B. Duplicate IP addresses
C. Misconfigured default gateway
D. Incorrect subnet mask
Answer: B
Explanation:
A duplicate IP address occurs when two devices on the same network have the same IP address assigned to them. This can cause intermittent connection issues,
as the network devices may not be able to distinguish between the two conflicting devices. A duplicate IP address can be caused by a visitor manually configuring
a static IP address that is already in use by another device on the guest network. The network IP range of 192.168.1.0/28 has only 14 usable host addresses, so
the chances of a duplicate IP address are higher than a larger network.

A. MPLS
B. mGRE
C. EIGRP
D. VRRP
Answer: A
Explanation:
Multiprotocol Label Switching, or MPLS, is a networking technology that routes traffic using the shortest path based on “labels,” rather than network addresses, to
handle forwarding over private wide area networks. As a scalable and protocol- independent solution, MPLS assigns labels to each data packet, controlling the
path the packet follows. MPLS greatly improves the speed of traffic, so users don’t experience downtime when connected to the network.
Which of the following commands should the technician use to correct the issue?
Answer: A
Explanation:
The route command is used to view and manipulate the IP routing table in Windows operating systems456 The routing table contains information about how to
reach different network destinations. The output from the workstation shows that the routing table does not have a default gateway, which is a router that forwards
packets to other networks that are not directly connected to the local network. A default gateway is usually specified by a route with a destination of 0.0.0.0 and a
netmask of 0.0.0.0, which matches any IP address. To correct the issue, the technician can use the route ADD command to add a default gateway to the routing
table. The syntax of the command is:
route ADD <destination> MASK <netmask> <gateway> metric <metric>
The destination and netmask parameters should be 0.0.0.0 to indicate a default route. The gateway parameter should be the IP address of the router that can
reach the internet, which is 10.10.51.10 in this case. The metric parameter is an optional value that indicates the cost or preference of the route, which can be used
to choose between multiple routes to the same destination. A lower metric means a higher preference. The metric parameter can be any integer between 1 and
9999. In this case, the metric parameter can be 35 or any other value.
Therefore, the correct command is:
route ADD 0.0.0.0 MASK 0.0.0.0 10.10.51.10 metric 35
first site to go live with the new WAN is successful, but when the second site is activated significant network issues occur. Which of the following is the MOST likely
cause for the WAN instability?
A. A routing loop
B. Asymmetrical routing
C. A switching loop
D. An incorrect IP address
Answer: B
Explanation:
Asymmetrical routing is the most likely cause for the WAN instability. When two different routing protocols are used, like OSPF and EIGRP, it can cause
asymmetrical routing, which results in traffic being routed differently in each direction. This can lead to instability in the WAN. A CDP neighbor change, a switching
loop, or an incorrect IP address are not likely causes for WAN instability.

A. KVM size
B. Switch depth
C. Hard drive size
D. Cooling fan speed
E. Outlet amperage
F. Server height
Answer: BF
Explanation:
The size of a rack for installation depends on several factors, such as the available space, the power and cooling requirements, and the dimensions of the
equipment to be installed. Two of the most important dimensions to consider are the switch depth and the server height. Switch depth refers to the length of the
switch from front to back, which determines how much space is needed inside the rack. Server height refers to the vertical space occupied by the server, which is
measured in rack units (RU) or U. One rack unit is equal to 1.75 inches. The height of the rack should be able to accommodate the total number of rack units
needed for the servers and other devices, as well as some extra space for cable management and airflow. References: CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Cert Guide,

Explanation:
MAN stands for Metropolitan Area Network, and it is a type of network that covers a large geographic area, such as a city or a county. MANs are often used to
connect multiple LANs (Local Area Networks) within a region, such as schools, offices, or government buildings. MANs typically use high-speed and high-capacity
transmission media, such as fiber-optic cables, to provide fast and reliable data communication. MANs can also provide access to WANs (Wide Area Networks),
such as the Internet, or other services, such as cable TV or VoIP.
The other options are not correct because they are not the type of network that covers a large city. They are:
? LAN. LAN stands for Local Area Network, and it is a type of network that covers a
small geographic area, such as a home, an office, or a building. LANs are often used to connect multiple devices, such as computers, printers, or phones, within a
single network. LANs typically use low-cost and low-capacity transmission media, such as twisted-pair cables, to provide data communication. LANs can also
provide access to other networks, such as MANs or WANs, through routers or gateways.
? CAN. CAN stands for Campus Area Network, and it is a type of network that
covers a moderate geographic area, such as a university, a hospital, or a military base. CANs are often used to connect multiple LANs within a campus, such as
different departments, buildings, or facilities. CANs typically use medium-cost and medium-capacity transmission media, such as coaxial cables, to provide data
communication. CANs can also provide access to other networks, such as MANs or WANs, through routers or gateways.
? WAN. WAN stands for Wide Area Network, and it is a type of network that covers
a very large geographic area, such as a country, a continent, or the world. WANs are often used to connect multiple MANs or LANs across different regions, such
as
different cities, states, or countries. WANs typically use high-cost and high- capacity transmission media, such as satellite links, to provide data communication.
WANs can also provide access to various services, such as the Internet, email, or VPN.

Answer: D
A. FATAL
B. ERROR
C. DEBUG
D. WARN
Answer: C
Explanation:
DEBUG is the log level that provides the most informative log information for troubleshooting a suspected configuration issue. Logging is a feature that allows
network devices to record events and messages related to their operation and status. Logging can help network engineers to monitor, diagnose, and resolve
network problems. Log levels are categories that indicate the severity or importance of a log message. Different log levels provide different amounts of detail and
verbosity. DEBUG is the lowest log level, which means it provides the most detailed and verbose information about every action and event that occurs on a
network device. DEBUG can help network engineers to identify configuration errors, misbehaving processes, or unexpected outcomes. However, DEBUG can also
generate a lot of noise and overhead, which can affect the performance and availability of the network device. Therefore, DEBUG should be used sparingly and
only when necessary. References: [CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam
