CompTIA CompTIA Certifications N10-008 Questions & Answers

• Question 431:

  A network technician is reviewing a document that specifies how to handle access to company resources, such as the Internet and printers, when devices are not part of the company's assets. Which of the following agreements would a user be required to accept before using the company's resources?

  A. BYOD

  B. DLP

  C. AUP

  D. MOU

  Correct Answer: C

  This part would be AUP as it's the companies resources.

  A network technician is reviewing a document that specifies how to handle access to company resources, such as the Internet and printers

  And this part of the first sentence would be BYOD, when devices are not part of the company's assets.

  However neither of the two above parts are a question. It's a statement of what the technician is doing. The second sentence contains the actual question being asked.

  Which of the following agreements would a user be required to accept before using the company's resources?

  Since the question is only asking what they need to accept to use the companies resources this would be strictly AUP. If they had asked what the user would need to accept to use their devices for company business it would then be BYOD.

• Question 432:

  Classification using labels according to information sensitivity and impact in case of unauthorized access or leakage is a mandatory component of:

  A. an acceptable use policy

  B. a memorandum of understanding

  C. data loss prevention

  D. a non-disclosure agreement

  Correct Answer: C

  Data loss prevention (DLP) is a set of tools and processes that aim to prevent unauthorized access or leakage of sensitive information. One of the components of DLP is data classification, which involves labeling data according to its information sensitivity and impact in case of unauthorized disclosure. Data classification helps to identify and protect the most critical and confidential data and apply appropriate security controls and policies. References: Network+ Study Guide Objective 5.1: Explain the importance of policies, processes and procedures for IT governance. Subobjective: Data loss prevention.

• Question 433:

  A network administrator needs to provide remote clients with access to an internal web application. Which of the following methods provides the HIGHEST flexibility and compatibility while encrypting only the connection to the web application?

  A. Clientless VPN

  B. Virtual desktop

  C. Virtual network computing

  D. mGRE tunnel

  Correct Answer: A

  A clientless VPN (Virtual Private Network) provides the highest flexibility and compatibility for remote clients to access an internal web application because it allows remote users to connect to the internal network using a web browser, without the need to install any additional software or configurations on their device. This allows the remote users to access the web application securely over an encrypted connection, while also providing a high level of compatibility with different device types and operating systems.

• Question 434:

  A security vendor needs to add a note to the DNS to validate the ownership of a company domain before services begin. Which of the following records did the security company MOST likely ask the company to configure?

  A. TXT

  B. AAAA

  C. CNAME

  D. SRV

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 435:

  Which of the following documents is MOST likely to be associated with identifying and documenting critical applications?

  A. Software development life-cycle policy

  B. User acceptance testing plan

  C. Change management policy

  D. Business continuity plan

  Correct Answer: D

  A business continuity plan (BCP) is a document that outlines the procedures and strategies to ensure the continuity of critical business functions in the event of a disaster or disruption. A BCP is most likely to be associated with identifying and

  documenting critical applications that are essential for the organization's operations and recovery. A BCP also defines the roles and responsibilities of the staff, the backup and restore processes, the communication channels, and the testing

  and maintenance schedules.

• Question 436:

  An IP address is maintained despite a failing UPS that causes a workstation to restart several times. Which of the following would allow this to occur?

  A. DHCP reservation

  B. DHCP scope

  C. Name server

  D. Root DNS server

  Correct Answer: A

  DHCP Reservation - basically you reserve an address for a specific device, that address now only gets assigned to that device, in the event the device isn't online, it will not be reassigned to anyone else.

• Question 437:

  A switch is connected to another switch. Incompatible hardware causes a surge in traffic on both switches. Which of the following configurations will cause traffic to pause, allowing the switches to drain buffers?

  A. Speed

  B. Flow control

  C. 802.1Q

  D. Duplex

  Correct Answer: B

  Flow control is a mechanism that allows a network device to regulate the amount of traffic it can receive or send. Flow control can help prevent congestion and buffer overflow by sending pause frames or signals to the sender when the receiver's buffer is full or nearly full. Flow control can cause traffic to pause, allowing the switches to drain buffers and resume normal operation. Speed is a parameter that determines the data transfer rate of a network link. 802.1Q is a standard for VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) tagging, which allows multiple logical networks to share the same physical infrastructure. Duplex is a mode of communication that determines how data is transmitted and received on a link. Full duplex allows simultaneous transmission and reception, while half duplex allows only one direction at a time.

• Question 438:

  A technician is equipped with a tablet, a smartphone, and a laptop to troubleshoot a switch with the help of support over the phone. However, the technician is having issues interconnecting all these tools in troubleshooting the switch. Which of the following should the technician use to gain connectivity?

  A. PAN

  B. WAN

  C. LAN

  D. MAN

  Correct Answer: A

  A PAN stands for Personal Area Network and it is a type of network that connects devices within a small range, such as a few meters. A PAN can use wireless technologies such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to interconnect devices such as tablets,

  smartphones, and laptops. A technician can use a PAN to gain connectivity among these tools and troubleshoot the switch.

• Question 439:

  A network administrator wants to control new router deployments via the use of application programming interfaces (APIs). This would be an example of:

  A. software-defined networking

  B. a three-tiered architecture

  C. collapsed backbone

  D. top-of-rack switching

  Correct Answer: A

  Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an approach to networking that uses software-based controllers or application programming interfaces (APIs) to communicate with underlying hardware infrastructure and direct traffic on a network. This model differs from that of traditional networks, which use dedicated hardware devices (i.e., routers and switches) to control network traffic. SDN can create and control a virtual network ?or control a traditional hardware ?via software. Reference: https://www.vmware.com/topics/glossary/content/software-defined-networking.html

• Question 440:

  A network is secured and is only accessible via TLS and IPSec VPNs. Which of the following would need to be present to allow a user to access network resources on a laptop without logging in to the VPN application?

  A. Site-to-site

  B. Secure Shell

  C. In-band management

  D. Remote desktop connection

  Correct Answer: A

  A site-to-site VPN is a type of VPN that connects two or more networks over the Internet using a secure tunnel. A site-to-site VPN allows users to access network resources on a laptop without logging in to the VPN application, as long as the laptop is connected to one of the networks in the VPN. A site-to-site VPN is transparent to the users and does not require any additional software or configuration on the client devices.
