overwhelming its buffer and causing it to drop frames. What is this most likely? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>Flow Control
A data center architect is looking at access types and wants something that is cost-effective. They
are a smaller company so they are willing to take some risks to have a lower cost. What would a
good solution for them be? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Colocation
A network engineer conducts a redundancy check and identifies that interference exists due to a
poor-quality cable. What is this finding called? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>CRC error

cabling. Which of the following solutions will connect the two at the physical layer of the OSI
reference model? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Media converter

attempt. What type of malformed packets are likely being dropped but not alerting the network
team? (Select all that apply.) - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Runts
Giants
A cyber security technician is observing a DOS attack on the organization's network. The
technician can not determine anything surrounding the attacker's identity but does notice that no
data traffic is being returned to the attacker. What type of attack is this? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>IP Spoofing
,A network technician is looking at various administrative distances to see which route would
take the longest. Which of the following would have the highest administrative distance? -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Unknown
An engineer is working on upgrading an aging network within the office. Most of the network
cabling was installed nearly 20 years ago. The network runs into issues where users cannot
efficiently access their emails, shared drives, and the internet. What is the aging network
contributing to? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Network Performance issues
A network engineer received a ticket that people cannot connect to the printer. After researching
the issue, the printer is property wired, as are the workstations. However, the network was
misconfigured, leading to the printer being tagged incorrectly. What is the most likely cause of
the issue? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Incorrect VLAN

trying to prevent? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Overlap
A network technician has been tasked with finding a solution where a leased fiber link is
terminated at a demarc. Which of these solutions would accomplish that? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>FTTP - The most expensive solution is Fiber to the Premises (FTTP). The
essential point about both these implementations is that the fiber link is terminated at the demarc.
A host uses Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). The host sends a packet over the Internet using
router advertisement. The IPv6 packets insert into Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) packets.
The packets route over the IPv4 network to their destination. What is providing this function? -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Tunneling
Two Windows hosts connected to a switch are contending to respond to ARP (Address
Resolution Protocol) queries. Only one of the hosts is receiving network traffic. Determine the
most likely cause of this issue. - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Duplicate Mac Address
A school with no resources stages an enterprise mobility management solution for their planned
"Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) program. A network analyst will caution them about
obstacles they will need to mitigate as a successful part of this rollout. What are the obstacles?
(Select all that apply.) - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Compatibility
Security
, A wiring professional finishes wiring a building with twisted pair cabling for a new Ethernet
network. Where do the wires running throughout the building centrally terminate? - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>Patch Panel
A system has a network of Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) computing nodes organized into a
cluster for statistical analysis. During installation, the service providers installing the nodes are
negotiating a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with management. The team establishes baselines
and calculates Key Performance Metrics (KPI) by using the calculation (48 hours * 64 nodes)/2
failures, to determine one of the metrics. Select which KPI the service providers calculated. -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>MTBF
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is a measurement that represents the expected lifetime of
a particular product or network asset.
A company named Specks has solicited the use of cloud services and has chosen a Platform as a
Service (PaaS) product from Oracle with an Oracle Database. The company will use this
platform to build custom applications on thin clients inbased in the cloud. Which of the
following is true? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Application Security Handled by specks
A server technician has removed a server blade from its rack for cleaning. The technician sees
corrosion on one of the circuit boards and notices some water on the bottom of the casing. What
hazards could have affected this server? (Select all that apply.) - CORRECT
ANSWER>>>>Flooding
Humidity
An administrator is installing an inventory system that will keep track of when the organization
procures and implements hardware and software, upgrades or modifies it, and decommissions it.
What is the inventory system tracking? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>System Life Cycle
What could possibly cause a client application to show a certificate warning to a user? -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>The certificate's subject name does not match the URL
A helpdesk operator is attempting to release a client's IP as part of their troubleshooting steps.
Which of the following tools can they use to accomplish this? (Select all that apply.) -
CORRECT ANSWER>>>>ipconfig
dhclient
NetworkManager
A network engineer is looking to join two strands of fiber cabling with minimal signal loss. What
tool would best allow for this action to be completed? - CORRECT ANSWER>>>>Fusion
Splicer
An IT help desk technician troubleshoots a computer that will not connect to the network. The
computer's network adapter has the correct configuration. The technician checks the physical
