CompTIA 220-1101 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 161:

  A technician needs to configure a firewall to enable network printing. Which of the following network ports should be opened? (Select two).

  A. 3389 (RDP)
  B. 23 (Telnet)
  C. 25 (SMTP)
  D. 515 (LDP)
  E. 631 (IPP)
  F. LPT1
  D. 515 (LDP)
  E. 631 (IPP)

  ---

  Explanation

  For network printing, the required ports are typically those used by printing protocols. Port 515 is used by the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) protocol, and port 631 is used by the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). These ports need to be opened in the firewall to allow print jobs to be sent to and from network printers.

• Question 162:

  A user is having a problem with printing a specific document type.

  The network printer OCP shows that the printer is online with no errors. Other users are not having the same issue. The user sends the document to another printer and the document prints.

  Which of the following should a technician do FIRST in troubleshooting the problem?

  A. Stop and restart the PC print spooler service.
  B. Verify the user is sending the document to the correct printer queue.
  C. Have each user send the same document to the correct printer queue.
  D. Stop and restart the print server queues, and then have the user resend the document.
  B. Verify the user is sending the document to the correct printer queue.

• Question 163:

  Which of the following would MOST likely be used to connect one or more devices to the Internet in a SOHO?

  A. Hub
  B. Ethernet gateway
  C. Wireless access point
  D. Router
  D. Router

  ---

  Explanation

  A router is a device that connects one or more networks, such as a home or small office network, to the internet. It allows multiple devices to share a single internet connection and provides network address translation (NAT) to enable communication between the devices on the local network and the internet. A hub, Ethernet gateway, or wireless access point does not provide this functionality. A router is the most likely device to be used to connect one or more devices to the internet in a SOHO. A router can provide network address translation (NAT), firewall protection, and other features that are important for securing and managing a network.

• Question 164:

  Given the following output from a cable tester:

  

  ===================

  = Open

  =12345678=

  =12 45 78=

  ===================

  Which of the following tools should the technician use to resolve this issue? (Select two).

  A. Loopback plug
  B. Network tap
  C. Toner probe
  D. Crimper
  E. Punchdown tool
  F. Wi-Fi analyzer
  C. Toner probe
  D. Crimper

• Question 165:

  A technician is setting up a laptop with an encrypted hard drive. The laptop will securely store a PIN that the user will input at log-on. Which of the following must be installed to set up this configuration?

  A. TPM
  B. HSM
  C. UEFI
  D. ARM
  A. TPM

  ---

  Explanation

  TPM stands for Trusted Platform Module, and it is a special chip installed on a computer's motherboard that stores encryption keys, passwords, and digital certificates. It can also securely store a user's PIN, allowing them to access the laptop without having to enter the PIN every time they log on. TPM is a secure way to store and protect sensitive data, making it ideal for use in laptops that need to securely store a PIN.

• Question 166:

  Which of the following would an administrator use to migrate virtual machines from on premises to the cloud?

  A. laaS
  B. SaaS
  C. DBaaS
  D. DRaaS
  A. laaS

  ---

  Explanation

  An administrator would use Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to migrate virtual machines from on-premises to the cloud. IaaS is a cloud computing service that provides virtualized computing resources, such as servers, storage, and networking, that can be used to deploy and run applications in the cloud. By using IaaS, an administrator can create a virtual machine in the cloud and migrate the existing virtual machine from on- premises to the cloud.

• Question 167:

  A systems administrator needs to set up a multifunction printer for the legal department. The legal department deals with sensitive documents and requires a secure method of releasing print jobs. Which of the following should the systems administrator configure to meet the department's security requirements?

  A. SMB settings
  B. User authentication
  C. Audit logging
  D. Wired connection
  B. User authentication

  ---

  Explanation

  This option requires the user to enter a PIN code or swipe a smart card before the printer releases their print job. This way, the user can verify their identity and ensure that no one else can access their sensitive documents. The other options are not as secure or effective as user authentication. SMB settings are used to share files and printers over a network, but they do not provide a secure method of releasing print jobs. Audit logging records the details of each print job, but it does not prevent unauthorized access to the printed documents. Wired connection reduces the risk of wireless interference or hacking, but it does not guarantee that the print jobs are only retrieved by the intended recipient.

• Question 168:

  Which of the following frequency bands do 802.11b and 802.11g operate in?

  A. 1GHz
  B. 2.4GHz
  C. 5GHz
  D. 6GHz
  B. 2.4GHz

  ---

  Explanation

  The frequency bands that 802.11b and 802.11g operate in are 2.4GHz bands, which allow for longer range but lower speed than higher frequency bands such as 5GHz or 6GHz bands used by newer standards such as 802.11a/n/ac/ax.

• Question 169:

  A technician deployed a new computer and patched the unit to the data jack. However, no Ethernet connection is detected. The technician suspects the patch panel is incorrectly numbered. Which of the following tools will the technician MOST likely use to locate the jack on the patch panel?

  A. A multimeter
  B. A tone generator and a probe
  C. A loopback plug
  D. A cable tester
  B. A tone generator and a probe

  ---

  Explanation

• Question 170:

  Which of the following standards supports MIMO technology?

  A. 802.11a
  B. 802.11b
  C. 802.11g
  D. 802.11n
  D. 802.11n

  ---

  Explanation

  The 802.11n wireless networking standard supports Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology. MIMO technology uses multiple antennas on both the transmitting and receiving devices to improve wireless performance by increasing the amount of data that can be transmitted simultaneously. 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g do not support MIMO technology.
