• Question 362:

  A Fortune 500 company would like to move its on-premises corporate email systems to a multitenant product hosted in the cloud where no maintenance of the underlying server OS or platform is required. Which of the following BEST represents the model the company should choose?

  A. Public
  B. Private
  C. Hybrid
  D. Community
  A. Public

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The model that the company should choose to move its on-premises corporate email systems to a multitenant product hosted in the cloud where no maintenance of the underlying server OS or platform is required is the Public cloud model. The public cloud is a type of cloud computing where cloud-based services and resources are provided over the internet to anyone who wants to use or purchase them. In this model, the resources are owned, managed, and maintained by a third-party cloud provider, who is responsible for the infrastructure, underlying server OS, and platform maintenance, leaving the customer free to focus on their application or service. This option provides the greatest degree of scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness while reducing management overhead.

• Question 363:

  Which of the following are the most likely reasons voltage calculations are made before installing equipment? (Choose two.)

  A. To ensure equipment is not damaged
  B. To send reports for compliance regulations
  C. To speed up the installation process
  D. To ensure compatibility
  E. To meet legal requirements
  F. To ensure the grounding is being maintained
  A. To ensure equipment is not damaged
  D. To ensure compatibility

• Question 364:

  A network administrator is reviewing the network device logs on a syslog server. The messages are normal but the stamps on the messages are incorrect. Which of the following actions should the administrator take to ensure the log message time stamps are correct?

  A. Change the NTP settings on the network device
  B. Change the time on the syslog server
  C. Update the network device firmware
  D. Adjust the timeout settings on the syslog server
  E. Adjust the SSH settings on the network device.
  A. Change the NTP settings on the network device

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used to synchronize the time on network devices. If the time stamps on the syslog server are incorrect, it is likely that the NTP settings on the network device are incorrect. By updating the NTP settings on the network device, the time stamps on the syslog server will be corrected.

• Question 365:

  Which of the following fiber connector types is the most likely to be used on a network interface card?

  A. LC
  B. SC
  C. ST
  D. MPO
  A. LC

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The LC (Lucent Connector) is the most likely fiber connector type to be used on a network interface card (NIC). LC connectors are small, have a high density, and are commonly used in data center and enterprise environments. They are well-suited for connections on NICs and switches due to their compact size and ease of use.

• Question 366:

  A network administrator needs to configure a server to use the most accurate NTP reference available. Which of the following NTP devices should the administrator select?

  A. Stratum 1
  B. Stratum 2
  C. Stratum 3
  D. Stratum 4
  A. Stratum 1

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers are organized into a hierarchy known as strata. Stratum 1 servers are the most accurate and are typically connected directly to a highly accurate reference time source, such as an atomic clock. Stratum 2 servers are connected to stratum 1 servers and are slightly less accurate than stratum 1 servers. Stratum 3 servers are connected to stratum 2 servers and are slightly less accurate than stratum 2 servers, and so on.

  In order to use the most accurate NTP reference available, the administrator should configure the server to use a stratum 1 NTP server.

• Question 367:

  Ann, a customer, recently upgraded her SOHO Internet to gigabit fiber from cable. She was previously getting speeds around 75Mbps down and 25Mbps up. After the upgrade, Ann runs a speed test on her desktop and gets results of 1000Mbps down and 100Mbps up. A technician connects directly to the router and sees the correct 1000Mbps speeds. Which of the following is MOST likely the cause? (Select two).

  A. All ports should be configured for full duplex.
  B. There is a 10/100 switch on the network.
  C. The connections are using Cat 5 cable.
  D. The connections are using Cat 6 cable.
  E. There is a transceiver mismatch at the fiber termination point.
  F. Signal attenuation on the new fiber has reached the upper limits.
  A. All ports should be configured for full duplex.
  C. The connections are using Cat 5 cable.

• Question 368:

  AGRE tunnel has been configured between two remote sites. Which of the following features, when configured, ensures me GRE overhead does not affect payload?

  A. jumbo frames
  B. Auto medium-dependent Interface
  C. Interface crossover
  D. Collision detection
  A. jumbo frames

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  One of the features that can be configured to ensure that GRE overhead does not affect payload is A. jumbo frames. Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames that have a payload size larger than 1500 bytes, which is the standard maximum transmission unit (MTU) for Ethernet. By using jumbo frames, more data can be sent in each packet, reducing the overhead ratio and improving efficiency. Auto medium-dependent interface (MDI), interface crossover, and collision detection are features related to Ethernet physical layer connectivity, but they do not affect GRE overhead or payload.

• Question 369:

  A network administrator received a report staling a critical vulnerability was detected on an application that is exposed to the internet. Which of the following Is the appropriate NEXT step?

  A. Check for the existence of a known exploit in order to assess the risk
  B. Immediately shut down the vulnerable application server.
  C. Install a network access control agent on the server.
  D. Deploy a new server to host the application.
  A. Check for the existence of a known exploit in order to assess the risk

• Question 370:

  A network administrator is notified that a user cannot access resources on the network. The network administrator checks the physical connections to the workstation labeled User and sees the Ethernet is properly connected. However, the network interface's indicator lights are not blinking on either the computer or the switch. Which of the following is the most likely cause?

  A. The switch failed.
  B. The default gateway is wrong.
  C. The port is shut down.
  D. The VLAN assignment is incorrect.
  C. The port is shut down.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  If the port is shut down, it means that the switch has disabled the port and is not sending or receiving any traffic on it. This would explain why the network interface's indicator lights are not blinking on either the computer or the switch, and why the user cannot access resources on the network. The port could be shut down manually by the network administrator, or automatically by the switch due to security or error conditions.
