  A. Device compatibility

  B. Increased security

  Correct Answer: A

  WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) was introduced when the 802.11 standard for Wi-Fi networks was launched. It allows the use of a 64-bit or 128-bit key. However, researchers discovered vulnerabilities in WEP in 2001 and proved that it was

  possible to break into any WEP network by using a brute-force method to decipher the key. Using WEP is not recommended.

  WPA, which stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a newer standard and is much more secure.

• Question 886:

  SIMULATION

  A user has installed two new drives in one of the computers in the computer lab and has been unable to format Disk1 from the command prompt.

  The lab requires that Disk1 be a dynamic disk configured with two partitions. The first partition must be 256,000 MB in size and mapped to drive F. The second partition must be 512,000 MB in size and mapped to drive G.

  The new partitions must be formatted to ensure that user's files can be secured from other users and that the disk must be configured to account for future redundancy.

  Make sure to maintain a consistent file system.

  INSTRUCTIONS:

  Conduct the necessary steps within the Disk Manager to accomplish these tasks.
