• Question 695:

  Which of the following services allows a remote user to access network resources?

  A. WLAN
  B. SAN
  C. DHCP
  D. VPN
  D. VPN

  ---

  Explanation

  A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a service that allows a remote user to access network resources securely over the internet. A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between the user's device and the VPN server, which acts as a gateway to the network. The user can then access the network resources as if they were directly connected to the network, without exposing their traffic to eavesdropping, interception, or censorship. A VPN can provide remote users with access to various services on a company network, such as file and print services, client/server applications, and remote network administration1. A VPN can also protect the user's privacy and identity online by masking their IP address and location.

• Question 696:

  A user is unable to connect to network resources. A technician discovers that the user's device has an invalid static IP address.

  Which of the following should the technician configure on the user's device to request an IP address?

  A. SSH
  B. FTP
  C. DHCP
  D. DNS
  C. DHCP

  ---

  Explanation

  DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network, resolving the issue of an invalid static IP address. Configuring the device to use DHCP allows it to request and receive a valid IP address automatically.

  Why Not A (SSH): Secure Shell (SSH) is used for secure remote access, not IP address assignment.

  Why Not B (FTP): File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used for file transfers, not network configuration.

  Why Not D (DNS): DNS resolves domain names to IP addresses but doesn't assign IP addresses.

  Core 1 (220-1101), Section 2.5, basic networking.

  attached to both ends, and confirm that the outlet or power strip is providing energy by using a multimeter or another device. This can eliminate any issues with loose or faulty connections or power sources, and help isolate the problem

  further.
