CompTIA CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ FC0-U61 Questions & Answers

• Question 1:

  A gaming console needs to allow for inbound connectivity on a home network to facilitate chat functions. Which of the following devices is a user MOST likely to configure to allow this?

  A. Cable modem

  B. Wireless router

  C. Access point

  D. Network switch

  Correct Answer: B

  In a home network, the wireless router (or sometimes just called a router) typically acts as the gateway between the local area network (LAN) and the Internet. To allow inbound connectivity for services like gaming chat functions, the user would need to configure port forwarding or a DMZ (demilitarized zone) on the router. This ensures that the necessary ports are open and that incoming data for those ports is directed to the appropriate device, in this case, the gaming console.

  POP3: downloads an email from the server and then deletes it (from the server).
