CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
On DSL and cable connections is the MTU size generally lower or higher
Lower
How do you change the value of MTU
In increments of 8 bytes
True or False: Confirm that Ignore Don't Fragment DF bit is unchecked
True
True or False: Even if you only have 1 WAN connection you should still enable
"Enable Load Balancing"
True
Why must you enable load balancing with only 1 WAN connection
To access the LB Groups and LB Statistics sections of Failover and Load
Balancing configuration
,Which Probe menu should you select when configuring WAN probes
Probe Succeeds when either main or alternate target responds
Why should you always use X0 as a backup heartbeat link
Because it is hardcoded in SonicOS

option when configuring HTTPM management
False
What can result from incorrect duplex settings on the WAN
Inconsistent Internet connection, slow throughput, dropped packets, and inability
to negotiate to an ISP connection
What settings are default on the advanced tab of a WAN interface
Link Speed to Auto Negotiate
User Default MAC address
Enable Flow Reporting
