• Question 814:

  Which of the following could be used to implement secure physical access to a data center?

  A. Geofence
  B. Alarm system
  C. Badge reader
  D. Motion sensor
  C. Badge reader

  ---

  Explanation

  Badge readers are used to implement secure physical access to a data center. They are used to read the identification information on an employee's badge and grant access to the data center if the employee is authorized2. This system requires individuals to have an access badge that contains their identification information or a unique code that can be scanned by a reader. After the badge is scanned, the system compares the information on the badge with the authorized personnel database to authenticate if the individual has the required clearance to enter that area. The other options listed, such as a geofence, alarm system, or motion sensor are security measures that may be used in conjunction with badge readers, but do not provide identification and authentication features.

• Question 816:

  A Windows user recently replaced a computer The user can access the public internet on the computer; however, an internal site at https7/companyintranet.com:8888 is no longer loading. Which of the following should a technician adjust to resolve the issue?

  A. Default gateway settings
  B. DHCP settings
  C. IP address settings
  D. Firewall settings
  E. Antivirus settings
  D. Firewall settings

  ---

  Explanation

  The technician should adjust the firewall settings to resolve the issue of not being able to access an internal site at https://companyintranet.com:8888. The firewall settings control how the firewall filters and allows network traffic based on rules and policies. The firewall settings may be blocking or preventing the access to the internal site by mistake or by default, especially if the site uses a non-standard port number such as 8888. The technician should check and modify the firewall settings to allow the access to the internal site or its port number. Default gateway settings determine how a computer connects to other networks or the internet. Default gateway settings are not likely to cause the issue of not being able to access an internal site if the user can access the public internet. DHCP settings determine how a computer obtains its IP address and other network configuration parameters automatically from a DHCP server. DHCP settings are not likely to cause the issue of not being able to access an internal site if the user can access other network resources. IP address settings determine how a computer identifies itself and communicates with other devices on a network. IP address settings are not likely to cause the issue of not being able to access an internal site if the user can access other network resources. Antivirus settings control how the antivirus software scans and protects the computer from malware and threats. Antivirus settings are less likely to cause the issue of not being able to access an internal site than firewall settings, unless the antivirus software has its own firewall feature that may interfere with the network traffic.

  ---

• Question 819:

  A user is unable to access a web-based application. A technician verifies the computer cannot access any web pages at all. The computer obtains an IP address from the DHCP server. Then, the technician verifies the user can ping localhost, the gateway, and known IP addresses on the internet and receive a response. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason for the issue?

  A. A firewall is blocking the application.
  B. The wrong VLAN was assigned.
  C. The incorrect DNS address was assigned.
  D. The browser cache needs to be cleared.
  C. The incorrect DNS address was assigned.

  ---

  Explanation

  When a computer cannot access a web page, the first thing to check is the DNS settings. DNS is a system that translates domain names into IP addresses. If the DNS settings are incorrect, the computer will not be able to resolve the domain name of the web page and will be unable to access it.
