• Question 125:

  An insurance company wants to implement cloud computing and would like a cloud solution in which the infrastructure is shared with businesses in the same industry. Which of the following cloud models BEST addresses the company's need?

  A. Community
  B. Private
  C. Public
  D. Hybrid
  A. Community

  ---

  Explanation

  In a hybrid cloud model, the infrastructure is shared between public cloud services and an on-premise private cloud. This means that the insurance company can benefit from the scalability and cost-effectiveness of public cloud services, while also having the control and security of a private cloud. This allows the company to access resources that are specialized to their industry, while also ensuring that their data and infrastructure are kept secure.

• Question 126:

  A technician is troubleshooting a network issue. Users report that the connection keeps dropping and reconnecting every few seconds. The technician:

  Verifies the network configuration settings are correct on the workstation

  Tests the network cable from the workstation to the switch and finds no issues

  Uses a known-good workstation on the existing network cable and replicates the reported issue

  Which of the following should the technician do next?

  A. Add new network hardware to reduce congestion.
  B. Assign a static IP to the impacted workstations.
  C. Validate the environment for external interference.
  D. Check the network logs for evidence of port flapping.
  C. Validate the environment for external interference.

  ---

  Explanation

  Since the issue of the network connection dropping has been replicated on a known-good workstation using the same network cable, it suggests that the problem may not be with the individual workstations or the cable. The next logical step is to check for external interference, such as electrical or wireless interference that could be disrupting the network connection. Validate the environment for external interference: External factors, such as nearby electronic devices or poor cabling, can cause intermittent network drops. Checking for interference would be a prudent next step.

  Why the other options are incorrect:

  Add new network hardware to reduce congestion: There's no evidence that network congestion is the issue, and adding new hardware without identifying the cause is premature. Assign a static IP to the impacted workstations: The issue appears to be related to the physical network connection or environment, not IP addressing. Check the network logs for evidence of port flapping: Port flapping occurs when a network port rapidly switches between up and down states. While checking logs could provide information, external interference is a more likely culprit given the symptoms.

  This issue is part of the Networking Troubleshooting domain in the CompTIA A+ Core 1 exam.

• Question 127:

  A recently installed printer is incorrectly aligning printed documents.

  Which of the following should the technician do first to fix this issue?

  A. Run the maintenance application.
  B. Clean the rollers
  C. Upgrade the firmware
  D. Reinstall the drivers
  A. Run the maintenance application.

  ---

  Explanation

  Incorrect Options:

  Clean the rollers: Cleaning rollers is typically done to resolve paper feed or jamming issues, not alignment problems.

  Upgrade the firmware: While updating firmware is beneficial for performance improvements, it is not the first step for fixing alignment.

  Reinstall the drivers: Misaligned printing is usually hardware-related, not a driver issue.

• Question 130:

  A help desk technician is installing an SSD upgrade in a laptop. The laptop specifications call for NVMe.

  Which of the following form factors should the technician most likely install in the laptop?

  A. 2.5
  B. 3.5
  C. M.2
  D. SD
  C. M.2

  ---

  Explanation

  NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is an interface protocol built especially for Solid State Drives (SSDs) to utilize the high-speed PCIe bus in computers. M.2 is a form factor that is commonly used for NVMe SSDs due to its compact size and direct connection to the PCIe interface, which is ideal for laptops. The 2.5" and 3.5" form factors are more commonly associated with SATA drives, and SD is a form factor used for removable flash memory cards, not for internal storage solutions like NVMe SSDs.
