CompTIA N10-008 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 731:

  Which of the following should be configured on a separate network segment without access to the primary company network when security is a concern?

  A. Email server
  B. IoT devices
  C. Wireless LAN controller
  D. Voice gateway
  B. IoT devices

• Question 732:

  Which of the following security devices would be BEST to use to provide mechanical access control to the MDF/IDF?

  A. A smart card
  B. A key fob
  C. An employee badge
  D. A door lock
  D. A door lock

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  A door lock would be the best security device to use to provide mechanical access control to the MDF/IDF. A door lock is a device that prevents unauthorized access to a physical area by requiring a key, a code, a card, a biometric scan, or a combination of these factors to open it. A door lock can provide mechanical access control to the MDF/IDF, which are rooms that house network equipment such as switches, routers, servers, or patch panels. A door lock can prevent unauthorized persons from tampering with or stealing the network equipment or data.

• Question 733:

  A network technician is segmenting network traffic into various broadcast domains. Which of the following should the network technician utilize?

  A. VLAN
  B. STP
  C. ACL
  D. BPDU
  A. VLAN

• Question 734:

  A technician is trying to install a VoIP phone, but the phone is not turning on. The technician checks the cable going from the phone to the switch, and the cable is good. Which of the following actions is needed for this phone to work?

  A. Add a POE injector
  B. Enable MDIX.
  C. Use a crossover cable.
  D. Reconfigure the port.
  A. Add a POE injector

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  VoIP phones require power to operate, and they can either be powered through an AC adapter or through Power over Ethernet (PoE). If the switch is not providing PoE, a PoE injector can be used to inject power into the Ethernet cable, allowing the phone to turn on.

• Question 735:

  A SaaS provider has decided to leave an unpatched VM available via a public DMZ port. With which of the following concepts is this technique MOST closely associated?

  A. Insider threat
  B. War driving
  C. Evil twin
  D. Honeypot
  D. Honeypot

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  A honeypot is a decoy system that is intentionally left vulnerable or exposed to attract attackers and divert them from the real targets. A honeypot can also be used to collect information about the attackers' techniques and motives. In the scenario, the SaaS provider has left an unpatched VM available via a public DMZ port, which could be a honeypot technique to lure attackers and monitor their activities.

• Question 736:

  Which of the following protocols can be routed?

  A. FCoE
  B. Fibre Channel
  C. iSCSI
  D. NetBEUI
  C. iSCSI

• Question 737:

  An IDS was installed behind the edge firewall after a network was breached. The network was then breached again even though the IDS logged the attack. Which of the following should be used in place of these devices to prevent future attacks?

  A. A network tap
  B. A proxy server
  C. A UTM appliance
  D. A content filter
  C. A UTM appliance

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  A UTM appliance stands for Unified Threat Management appliance, which is a device that combines multiple security functions into one solution. A UTM appliance can provide firewall, IDS/IPS, antivirus, VPN, web filtering, and other security features. A network technician can use a UTM appliance in place of an edge firewall and an IDS to prevent future attacks, as a UTM appliance can block malicious traffic and detect and respond to intrusions more effectively.

• Question 738:

  A technician is wiring a new digital subscriber line in the corporate MDF. Which of the following marks the termination point?

  A. GBIC
  B. RG-6
  C. 110 block
  D. MT-RJ
  C. 110 block

• Question 739:

  Which of the following routing technologies is used to prevent network failure at the gateway by protecting data traffic from a failed router?

  A. BGP
  B. OSPF
  C. EIGRP
  D. FHRP
  D. FHRP

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  FHRP stands for First Hop Redundancy Protocol, and it is a group of protocols that allow routers to work together to provide backup or failover for the default gateway in a network. FHRP can prevent network failure at the gateway by protecting data traffic from a failed router and ensuring that there is always an active router to forward packets. Some examples of FHRP protocols are HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP12. References: 1: CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Cert Guide Chapter 13: Routing Protocols32: First Hop Redundancy Protocols (FHRP) Explained4

• Question 740:

  Which of the following technologies is used to translate one public IP address to multiple private IP addresses?

  A. NAT
  B. ARP
  C. DHCP
  D. DNS
  A. NAT
