CompTIA CompTIA Certifications N10-008 Questions & Answers

• Question 531:

  A help desk supervisor discovers the following ticket excerpt while reviewing notes in a customer's account:

  1.

  Received report that customer was unable to use the scanner to read barcodes, the internet no longer worked, and the monitor was fuzzy. Arrived on site and began troubleshooting.

  2.

  Confirmed monitor issue. Replaced VGA cable.

  3.

  Confirmed scanner failure. Scanner USB cable was unattached. Reattached cable.

  4.

  Confirmed internet issue. Duplicated on test laptop. Escalated to ISP.

  Which of the following BEST describes what the technician was doing?

  A. The technician was questioning the obvious.

  B. The technician was implementing preventative measures.

  C. The technician was approaching multiple problems individually.

  D. The technician was determining if anything had changed.

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 532:

  Which of the following would be used to filter web traffic based on content?

  A. Proxy server

  B. Load balancer

  C. Media converter

  D. Access point

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 533:

  A bank installed a new smart TV to stream online video services, but the smart TV was not able to connect to the branch Wi-Fi. The next day, a technician was able to connect the TV to the Wi-Fi, but a bank laptop lost network access at the same time. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

  A. DHCP scope exhaustion

  B. AP configuration reset

  C. Hidden SSID

  D. Channel overlap

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 534:

  A company has a geographically remote office. In order to connect to the internet, the company has decided to use a satellite WAN link. Which of the following is the GREATEST concern for this type of connection?

  A. Duplex

  B. Collisions

  C. Jitter

  D. Encapsulation

  Correct Answer: C

  Jitter is the variation in delay of packet transmission over a network. In the case of a satellite WAN link, the signals travel a significant distance to reach the satellite in orbit and then back down to the ground station. This round-trip distance introduces noticeable latency, and variations in this latency are known as jitter.

• Question 535:

  A network technician is deploying multiple switches for a new office. The switches are separately managed and need to be cabled in to support dual firewalls in a HA setup. Which of the following should the technician enable to support proper stability of the network switches?

  A. NTP

  B. CDMA

  C. STP

  D. LACP

  E. 802.1Q

  Correct Answer: C

  Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to prevent loops in Ethernet networks, especially in situations where redundant links are present. In this case, where there are multiple switches and dual firewalls in a high availability (HA) setup, enabling STP would help prevent any potential loops that could disrupt network stability.

• Question 536:

  An infrastructure company is implementing a cabling solution to connect sites on multiple continents. Which of the following cable types should the company use for this project?

  A. Cat 7

  B. Single-mode

  C. Multimode

  D. Cat 6

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 537:

  A user is required to log in to a main web application, which then grants the user access to all other programs needed to complete job-related tasks. Which of the following authentication methods does this setup describe?

  A. SSO

  B. RADIUS

  C. TACACS+

  D. Multifactor authentication

  E. 802.1X

  Correct Answer: A

  The scenario you've described, where a user logs in to a main web application that grants access to other programs needed for job-related tasks, is typically implemented using a Single Sign-On (SSO) solution.

  Single Sign-On (SSO) allows a user to authenticate once with a central identity provider (such as the main web application) and then gain access to multiple other applications without needing to provide separate credentials for each application. This streamlines the authentication process, enhances user experience, and improves security by centralizing user authentication and access control.

• Question 538:

  Which of the following should be used to manage outside cables that need to be routed to various multimode uplinks?

  A. Fiber distribution panel

  B. 110 punchdown block

  C. PDU

  D. TIA/EIA-568A patch bay

  E. Cat 6 patch panel

  Correct Answer: A

  A fiber distribution panel is a device that provides a central location for connecting and managing fiber optic cables and optical modules. It can support various types and speeds of fiber optic links, including multimode uplinks. Therefore, a fiber distribution panel should be used to manage outside cables that need to be routed to various multimode uplinks.

• Question 539:

  A customer cannot reach a web application on a local server. The network consultant suspects that the server is not accepting the HTTPS connection. Which of the following commands should the consultant run on the server to determine what is occurring?

  A. route

  B. arp

  C. nmap

  D. netstat

  Correct Answer: D

  The netstat command is a useful tool for checking open ports on a system, along with active connections and associated processes. By running the netstat command with appropriate options, the consultant can determine if the server is listening on the HTTPS port and if any connections are being established to the server on that port.

• Question 540:

  A Chief Information Officer wants to monitor network breaching in a passive, controlled manner. Which of the following would be BEST to implement?

  A. Honeypot

  B. Perimeter network

  C. Intrusion prevention system

  D. Port security

  Correct Answer: A

  A honeypot is a computer system that is intentionally exposed to attack in order to gather information about attackers. Honeypots are often used to monitor network breaches in a passive, controlled manner.
