  D. Vulnerability scanner

• Question 1052:

  A user reports that they are unable to connect to the network. Upon further investigation, a technician notices that the user has an IP address/subnet mask combination of 192.168.204.255/24. The default gateway for the network is

  192.168.204.254. Which of the following could the user's IP address be changed to so that they could connect to the network?

  A. 192.168.204.0/27
  B. 192.168.204.1/27
  C. 192.168.204.112/24

  C. 192.168.204.112/24

• Question 1053:

  Which of the following is a security benefit gained from setting up a guest wireless network?

  A. Optimized device bandwidth
  B. Isolatedcorporate resources
  C. Smaller ACL changes
  D. Reduced password resets
  B. Isolatedcorporate resources

  ---

  A wireless guest network could be set up so that it has limited access (no access to local resources) but does provide Internet access for guest users. The corporate resources would be inaccessible (isolated) from the guest network.

• Question 1054:

  A technician enters a username and password once and can access multiple databases without being prompted to reenter their password. This is an example of which of the following?

  A. Two-factor authentication
  B. Network access control
  C. Multifactor authentication D. Single sign-on

• Question 1055:

  A system administrator has been tasked to ensure that the software team is not affecting the production software when developing enhancements. The software that is being updated is on a very short SDLC and enhancements must be developed rapidly. These enhancements must be approved before being deployed. Which of the following will mitigate production outages before the enhancements are deployed?

  A. Implement an environment to test the enhancements.
  B. Implement ACLs that only allow management access to the enhancements.
  C. Deploy an IPS on the production network.
  D. Move the software team's workstations to the DMZ.
  A. Implement an environment to test the enhancements.

  ---

  Environments are controlled areas where systems developers can build, distribute, install, configure, test, and execute systems that move through the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The enhancements can be deployed and tested in a test environment before they are installed in the production environment.

• Question 1056:

  B. Increase the pool in each of the access points to avoid running out of IPs.
  C. Configure each access point to use a different method of encryption than the others.
  D. Reconfigure each of the access points so that they broadcast different SSIDs.
  A. Adjust the signal strength of the access points with minimal coverage overlap.
