• Question 1012:

  Which of the following connectors and terminations are required to make a Cat 6 cable that connects from a PC to a non-capable MDIX switch? (Select TWO).

  A. T1A-568-A - TIA-568-B
  B. TIA-568-B - TIA-568-B
  C. RJ11
  D. RJ45
  E. F-type
  B. TIA-568-B - TIA-568-B
  D. RJ45

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  TIA-568-B: TIA-568-B : TIA-568 is a standard for commercial building telecommunications cabling. TIA-568-B is a standard for terminating twisted pair cables, it is commonly used in networking. The TIA-568-B standard is used for both ends of the cable, as the switch is not capable of Auto-MDI-X. This means that the cable ends must be wired in a specific way to ensure that the correct connections are made. RJ45: RJ45 is a type of connector commonly used for Ethernet cables. It is a 8-pin connector that is used to connect twisted-pair cables to networking devices such as switches, routers, and PCs.

• Question 1013:

  A technician is working on a ticket for a user in the human resources department who received a new PC that does not connect to the internet. All users in human resources can access the internet. The technician can ping the PC from the human resources router but not from the IT network. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the issue?

  A. Duplicate IP address
  B. Misconfigured RIP
  C. Improper VLAN assignment
  D. Incorrect default gateway
  D. Incorrect default gateway

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  An incorrect default gateway can cause a PC to not connect to the internet, because the default gateway is the device that routes traffic from the local network to other networks. If the PC has a wrong default gateway configured, it may not be

  able to reach the internet router or the IT network router. The technician can ping the PC from the human resources router because they are on the same local network, but not from the IT network router because they are on different

  networks.

  A duplicate IP address can cause a PC to not communicate with other devices on the same network, because the IP address is the unique identifier of a device on a network. If two devices have the same IP address, they may cause IP

  conflicts and packet loss. However, a duplicate IP address would not prevent the technician from pinging the PC from the human resources router, because they are on the same network. A misconfigured RIP can cause a router to not learn

  or advertise routes to other networks, because RIP is a routing protocol that dynamically exchanges routing information between routers. If a router has a wrong RIP configuration, it may not be able to reach or share routes with other routers.

  However, a misconfigured RIP would not affect the PC's connectivity to the internet, because the PC does not use RIP. An improper VLAN assignment can cause a PC to not communicate with other devices on the same or different networks,

  because a VLAN is a logical segmentation of a network that isolates traffic based on criteria such as function, security, or performance. If a PC is assigned to a wrong VLAN, it may not be able to access the resources or services that it needs.

  However, an improper VLAN assignment would not prevent the technician from pinging the PC from the human resources router, because they are on the same physical network.

• Question 1014:

  A company is designing a new complex. The primary and alternate data centers will be in separate buildings 6.2mi (10km) apart and will be connected via fiber. Which of the following types of SFP is the best choice?

  A. 10GBASE-SR
  B. 10000BASE-LX
  C. 10GBASE-LR
  D. 1000BASE-SX
  C. 10GBASE-LR

• Question 1015:

  Which of the following provides guidance to an employee about restricting non-business access to the company's videoconferencing solution?

  A. Acceptable use policy
  B. Data loss prevention
  C. Remote access policy
  D. Standard operating procedure
  A. Acceptable use policy

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  An acceptable use policy (AUP) is a set of rules that outline the proper and improper use of an organization's resources, such as its videoconferencing solution. An AUP can provide guidance to employees about what is expected of them when using the organization's videoconferencing solution, including restricting non-business access to it.

• Question 1016:

  HOTSPOT

  A network technician needs to resolve some issues with a customer's SOHO network. The customer reports that some of the PCs are not connecting to the network, while others appear to be working as intended.

  INSTRUCTIONS

  Troubleshoot all the network components.

  Review the cable test results rst, then diagnose by clicking on the appropriate PC, server, and Layer 2 switch.

  Identify any components with a problem and recommend a solution to correct each problem.

  If at any time you would like to bring back the initial state of the simulation, please dick the Reset All button.

• Question 1017:

  A network administrator has been directed to present the network alerts from the past week to the company's executive staff. Which of the following will provide the BEST collection and presentation of this data?

  A. A port scan printout
  B. A consolidated report of various network devices
  C. A report from the SIEM tool
  D. A report from a vulnerability scan done yesterday
  C. A report from the SIEM tool

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  SIEM stands for Security Information and Event Management, which is a tool that collects, analyzes, and correlates data from various network devices and sources to provide alerts and reports on security incidents and events. A report from the SIEM tool can provide a comprehensive overview of the network alerts from the past week to the executive staff, highlighting any potential threats, vulnerabilities, or anomalies.

• Question 1018:

  Which of the following connector types would be used to connect to the demarcation point and provide network access to a cable modem?

  A. F-type
  B. RJ45
  C. LC
  D. RJ11
  A. F-type

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  An F-type connector is a type of coaxial connector that is commonly used to connect a cable modem to the demarcation point, which is the point at which the cable provider's network ends and the customer's network begins. The F-type connector is a threaded connector that is typically used for television, cable modem, and satellite antenna connections.

• Question 1019:

  A technician wants to assign addresses to PCs on a subnet that uses IPv4 and IPv6. The DHCP server only supports IPv4. Which of the following can the technician use to assign IPv6 addresses without DHCP?

  A. SLAAC

• Question 1020:

  A network administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity performance issue. As part of the troubleshooting process, the administrator performs a traceout from the client to the server, and also from the server to the client. While comparing the outputs, the administrator notes they show different hops between the hosts. Which of the following BEST explains these findings?

  A. Asymmetric routing
  B. A routing loop
  C. A switch loop
  D. An incorrect gateway
  A. Asymmetric routing
