Which of the following would most likely affect design considerations when building out an IDF?
Answer: B
Explanation:
The fire suppression system is a design consideration when building out an IDF because it can affect the safety and reliability of the network equipment and
cabling. A fire suppression system is a system that detects and extinguishes fires in a building, using water, gas, or chemicals. Depending on the type of fire
suppression system, it can have different impacts on the IDF design, such as:
? Water-based systems, such as sprinklers, can damage the network equipment and cabling if they are activated by a fire or a false alarm. Therefore, the IDF
should be designed to protect the equipment and cabling from water exposure, such as using waterproof cabinets, drip pans, and conduits.
? Gas-based systems, such as clean agent systems, can displace the oxygen in the IDF and cause suffocation for anyone inside. Therefore, the IDF should be
designed to allow for ventilation and air circulation, as well as warning signs and alarms to alert anyone in the IDF before the gas is released.
? Chemical-based systems, such as dry chemical systems, can leave a residue on the network equipment and cabling that can affect their performance and
lifespan. Therefore, the IDF should be designed to minimize the contact between the chemical and the equipment and cabling, as well as provide a means for
cleaning and restoring them after a fire.
The other options are not correct because:
? The source panel amperage is not a design consideration when building out an IDF, as it is determined by the electrical circuit and the power needs of the
network equipment and cabling. The source panel amperage does not affect the layout, location, or protection of the IDF.
? The humidity levels are not a design consideration when building out an IDF, as they are controlled by the HVAC system and the ventilation of the IDF. The
humidity levels do not affect the layout, location, or protection of the IDF.
? The cable transmission speeds are not a design consideration when building out an IDF, as they are determined by the type and quality of the network cabling
and the network equipment. The cable transmission speeds do not affect the layout, location, or protection of the IDF.

During an incident, an analyst sends reports regularly to the investigation and leadership teams. Which of the following best describes how Pll should be
safeguarded during an incident?
A. Implement data encryption and store the data so only the company has access.
B. Ensure permissions are limited to the investigation team and encrypt the data.
C. Implement data encryption and create a standardized procedure for deleting data that is no longer needed.
D. Ensure the permissions are open only to the company.
Answer: C
Explanation:
PII stands for Personally Identifiable Information, which is any data that can be used to identify, contact, or locate a specific individual, such as name, address,
phone number, email, social security number, and so on. PII should be safeguarded during an incident to protect the privacy and security of the individuals
involved, and to comply with the legal and ethical obligations of the organization. One way to safeguard PII during an incident is to implement data encryption,
which is a process of transforming data into an unreadable format that can only be accessed by authorized parties who have the decryption key. Data encryption
can prevent unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure of PII by malicious actors or third parties. Another way to safeguard PII during an incident is to create
a standardized procedure for deleting data that is no longer needed, such as after the incident is resolved or the investigation is completed. Deleting data that is no
longer needed can reduce the risk of data breaches, data leaks, or data theft, and can also save storage space and resources. A standardized procedure for
deleting data can ensure that the data is erased securely and completely, and that the deletion process is documented and audited.

command from a Windows workstation while testing various possible reasons for the connectivity issue. Which of the following should the technician use?
A. ping —w
B. ping -i
C. ping —s
D. ping —t
Answer: D
Explanation:
ping -t is an option for the ping command in Windows that allows the user to send continuous ping requests to a target until stopped by pressing Ctrl-C. This can
help the technician run a constant ping command while testing various possible reasons for the connectivity issue. ping -w is an option for the ping command in
Windows that allows the user to specify a timeout value in milliseconds for each ping request. ping -i is an option for the ping command in Linux that allows the
user to specify the time interval in seconds between each ping request. ping -s is an option for the ping command in Linux that allows the user to specify the size of
the data payload in bytes for each ping request.

- (Topic 3)
A network administrator needs to create an SVI on a Layer 3-capable device to separate voice and data traffic. Which of the following best explains this use case?
Answer: C
Explanation:
An SVI, or switched virtual interface, is a logical interface that is created on a Layer 3- capable device, such as a multilayer switch or a router. An SVI is associated
with a VLAN and can be used to route traffic between different VLANs on the same device or across multiple devices. An SVI can also provide management
access, security features, and quality of service (QoS) for the VLAN. An SVI is different from a physical interface, which is a port that connects to a physical device
or network. A physical interface can be used for trunking, which is a method of carrying multiple VLANs over a single link, or for connecting to a single VLAN. An
SVI is also different from a subinterface, which is a logical division of a physical interface that can be assigned to different VLANs.

NEW QUESTION 14
- (Topic 3)
A customer is adding fiber connectivity between adjacent buildings. A technician terminates the multimode cable to the fiber patch panel. After the technician
connects the fiber patch cable, the indicator light
does not come on. Which of the following should a technician try first to troubleshoot this issue?
Answer: A
Explanation:
One of the most common causes of fiber connectivity issues is the reversal of the fibers. This means that the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) ports on one end of
the fiber link are not matched with the corresponding ports on the other end. For example, if the TX port on one device is connected to the TX port on another
device, and the same for the RX ports, then the devices will not be able to communicate with each other. This can result in no indicator light, no link, or no data
transmission12.
To troubleshoot this issue, the technician should first try to reverse the fibers. This can be done by swapping the connectors at one end of the fiber patch cable, or
by using a crossover adapter or cable that reverses the polarity of the fibers. The technician should then check if the indicator light comes on and if the devices can
communicate properly12. The other options are not the first steps to troubleshoot this issue. Reterminating the fibers is a time-consuming and costly process that
should be done only if there is evidence of physical damage or poor quality of the termination. Verifying the fiber size is not relevant in this scenario, as multimode
fiber is compatible with multimode fiber, and any mismatch in core diameter or bandwidth would result in high attenuation, not complete loss of signal. Examining
the cable runs for visual faults is a useful technique, but it requires a special tool called a visual fault locator (VFL) that emits a visible red light through the fiber and
shows any breaks or bends along the cable. However, a VFL cannot detect polarity issues or connector problems, so it is not sufficient to troubleshoot this issue

Which of the following is an advantage of using the cloud as a redundant data center?
Answer: C
Explanation:
Using the cloud as a redundant data center means that the company does not need to invest in building and maintaining a physical backup site, which can be
costly and time- consuming. Instead, the company can pay for the cloud services as needed, which can reduce the initial capital expenses and operational costs.
However, this does not mean that the other options are true. Changing cloud providers may not be easy due to compatibility, contractual, or regulatory issues.
Security for company data may not be better in the cloud, depending on the cloud provider’s policies and practices. The need for backups is not eliminated, as the
cloud data still needs to be protected from loss, corruption, or unauthorized access.

A security engineer is trying to connect cameras to a 12-port PoE switch, but only eight cameras turn on. Which of the following should the engineer check first?
Answer: B
Explanation:
The most likely reason why only eight cameras turn on is that the PoE switch does not
have enough power budget to supply all 12 cameras. The engineer should check the voltage and wattage ratings of the PoE switch and the cameras, and make
sure they are compatible and sufficient. The Ethernet cable type, transceiver compatibility, and DHCP addressing are less likely to cause this problem, as they
would affect the data transmission rather than the power delivery.

While troubleshooting a network, a VoIP systems engineer discovers a significant inconsistency in the amount of time required for data to reach its destination and
return. Which of the following terms best describes this issue?
A. Bandwidth
B. Latency
C. Jitter
D. Throughput
Answer: C
Explanation:
Jitter is the variation in the delay of data packets over a network. It is caused by factors such as network congestion, routing changes, packet loss, or improper
queuing. Jitter affects the quality of VoIP calls because it can cause gaps, distortion, or out-of-order delivery of voice data. Jitter can be measured by the difference
between the expected and actual arrival times of packets2. To reduce jitter, VoIP systems use buffers to store and reorder packets before playing them back.
However, too much buffering can also increase latency, which is the total time it takes for data to travel from one point to another3.

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?
Answer: A
Explanation:
DHCP scope exhaustion is the situation when a DHCP server runs out of available IP addresses to assign to clients. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol, which is a network protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses and other configuration parameters to clients on a network. A DHCP
scope is a range of IP addresses that a DHCP server can distribute to clients. If the DHCP scope is exhausted, new clients will not be able to obtain an IP address
and connect to the network. This can explain why the smart TV was not able to connect to the branch Wi-Fi on the first day, and why the bank laptop lost network
access on the next day when the TV was connected. The technician should either increase the size of the DHCP scope or reduce the lease time of the IP
addresses to avoid DHCP scope exhaustion. References: [CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam Objectives], DHCP Scope Exhaustion - What Is It? How Do You
Fix It?

A customer reports there is no access to resources following the replacement of switches. A technician goes to the site to examine the configuration and discovers
redundant links between two switches. Which of the following is the reason the network is not functional?
Answer: C
Explanation:
The reason the network is not functional is that STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is not configured on the switches. STP is a protocol that prevents loops in a network
topology by blocking redundant links between switches. If STP is not enabled, the switches will forward broadcast frames endlessly, creating a broadcast storm
that consumes network resources and disrupts communication. References: CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Certification Study Guide, page 67; The Official
CompTIA Network+ Student Guide (Exam N10-008), page 2-14.

specifications? (Select TWO).
A. AP transmit power
B. Channel utilization
C. Signal loss
D. Update ARP tables
E. Antenna gain
F. AP association time
Answer: AE
Explanation:
? AP transmit power: You should check if your APs have sufficient power output and adjust them if needed. You should also make sure they are not exceeding
regulatory limits for your region.
? Antenna gain: You should check if your antennas have adequate gain for your coverage area and replace them if needed. You should also make sure they are
aligned properly and not obstructed by any objects.
In the scenario described, the wireless controller is measuring a low EIRP value compared to the recommendations noted in the most recent site survey. EIRP is
the combination of the power transmitted by the access point and the antenna gain. Therefore, to increase the EIRP value to meet the site survey's specifications,
the administrator should verify or replace the AP transmit power (option A) and the antenna gain (option E). This can be achieved by adjusting the transmit power
settings on the AP or by replacing the AP's antenna with one that has a higher gain

In which of the following components do routing protocols belong in a software-defined network?
A. Infrastructure layer
B. Control layer
C. Application layer
D. Management plane
Answer: B
Explanation:
A software-defined network (SDN) is a network architecture that decouples the control plane from the data plane and centralizes the network intelligence in a
software controller. The control plane is the part of the network that makes decisions about how to route traffic, while the data plane is the part of the network that
forwards traffic based on the control plane’s instructions. The control layer is the layer in an SDN that contains the controller and the routing protocols that
communicate with the network devices. The control layer is responsible for managing and configuring the network devices and providing them with the necessary

but do not have connectivity to other floors. Which of the following devices is MOST likely causing the issue?
A. User devices
B. Edge devices
C. Access switch
D. Core switch
Answer: D
Explanation:
A core switch is the most likely device causing the issue where users on each floor have stable connectivity, but do not have connectivity to other floors. A core
switch is a high-performance switch that connects multiple access switches in a network. An access switch is a switch that connects end devices, such as
computers and printers, to the network. A core switch acts as the backbone of the network, providing interconnection and routing between different subnets or
VLANs. If the core switch is malfunctioning or misconfigured, it can prevent communication between different segments of the network, resulting in intermittent
connectivity issues. References: [CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam Objectives], Core Switch vs Access Switch: What Are the Differences?

Answer: AB
Explanation:
One possible cause of poor wireless performance is a bottleneck in the network, which means that other devices or applications are consuming too much
bandwidth or resources and limiting the speed of the wireless access point. To troubleshoot this issue, the engineer should ensure that there is no congestion or
interference from other devices on the network, such as wired clients, servers, routers, switches, or other wireless access points. The engineer can use tools such
as network analyzers, bandwidth monitors, or ping tests to check the network traffic and latency12.
Another possible cause of poor wireless performance is outdated firmware on the device, which may contain bugs or vulnerabilities that affect the functionality or
security of the wireless access point. To troubleshoot this issue, the engineer should install the latest firmware for the device from the manufacturer’s website or
support portal. The engineer should follow the instructions carefully and backup the configuration before updating the firmware. The engineer can also check the
release notes or changelog of the firmware to see if there are any improvements or fixes related to the wireless performance3 .
The other options are not relevant to troubleshooting poor wireless performance. Creating a new VLAN for the access point may help with network segmentation or
security, but it will not improve the speed of the wireless connection. Making sure the SSID is not longer than 16 characters may help with compatibility or
readability, but it will not affect the wireless performance. Configuring the AP in autonomous mode may give more control or flexibility to the engineer, but it will not
enhance the wireless speed. Installing a wireless LAN controller may help with managing multiple access points or deploying advanced features, but it will not
increase the wireless performance.

A. Contract
B. Project charter
C. Memorandum of understanding
D. Non-disclosure agreement
Answer: B
Explanation:
The document used to inform all parties about the scope of the project before it starts is likely a project charter.
A project charter is a document that outlines the key aspects of a project, including the project's objectives, scope, stakeholders, and resources. It serves as a
formal agreement between the project team and the stakeholders, and helps to define the project's goals and constraints.
A project charter typically includes information about the project's scope, including the specific deliverables that are expected and any constraints or limitations that
may impact the project. It may also include details about the project team and stakeholders, the project schedule and budget, and the roles and responsibilities of
each party.
By creating a project charter, the Chief Executive Officer and the network administrator can ensure that all parties involved in the project have a clear
understanding of the project's goals and objectives, and can help to prevent misunderstandings or miscommunications during the project.
What is in a project charter?
A project charter is a formal short document that states a project exists and provides project managers with written authority to begin work. A project charter
document describes a project to create a shared understanding of its goals, objectives and resource requirements before the project is scoped out in detail.
What are the 5 elements of the project charter?
What Are the Contents of a Project Charter? A project charter should always include an overview, an outline of scope, an approximate schedule, a budget
estimate, anticipated risks, and key stakeholders
Answer: D
Explanation:
The most appropriate method to improve the security of the environment would be to implement role-based access control (RBAC). With RBAC, users are granted
access to the network based on their role within the organization. This allows for more granular access control, as different roles may require different levels of
access. Additionally, this ensures that users only have access to the resources they need and no more. This helps to reduce the risk of unauthorized access or
misuse of the network. References and further information can be found in the CompTIA Network+ Study Manual, Chapter 8, Access Control.
RBAC is a method of restricting network access based on the roles of individual users within the organization. With RBAC, users are granted access only to the
resources they need to perform their specific job functions. This approach reduces the risk of unauthorized access, provides greater visibility into user activity, and
simplifies network management. Changing the default permissions to implicit deny may improve security, but it could also cause issues for legitimate users who
require access to specific resources. Configuring uniform ACLs and NAC for contractors is a step in the right direction, but it may not be enough to address the
overall lack of a formal process for granting network permissions. Deploying an RDP server to centralize access to the network is not a viable solution, as it would
not address the root cause of the security incidents.
Therefore, the most appropriate option is to implement role-based access control. Reference: CompTIA Network+ Study Guide, Fourth Edition, Chapter 7, section

B. Remove omnidirectional antennas and adopt a directional bridge.
C. Ensure all APs of the warehouse support MIMO and Wi-Fi 4.
D. Verify that the level of EIRP power settings is set to the maximum permitted by regulations.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Client roaming refers to the ability of a wireless device to seamlessly connect to a different access point (AP) as the user moves around the facility. This can help
to improve network stability and reduce interruptions in mobile applications. An extended service deployment is a type of wireless network configuration that uses
multiple APs to cover a large area, such as a warehouse facility. By using a wireless controller to manage the APs, the network can be better optimized for client
roaming, which can improve network stability.
"Roaming With multiple WAPs in an ESS, clients will connect to whichever WAP has the strongest signal. As clients move through the space covered by the
broadcast area, they will change WAP connections seamlessly, a process called roaming."

Answer: D
Explanation:
The type of data center architecture that will most likely be used in a large SDN and can be extended beyond the data center is spine and leaf. Spine and leaf is a
network topology that consists of two layers of switches: spine switches and leaf switches. Spine switches are interconnected to each other and form the core of
the network, while leaf switches are connected to each spine switch and form the access layer of the network. Spine and leaf topology provides high scalability,
performance, and flexibility for data center networks, especially for SDN (Software Defined Networking) environments that require dynamic traffic flows and
virtualization. References: CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Certification Study Guide, page 16; The Official CompTIA Network+ Student Guide (Exam N10-008), page

A. RPO
B. RTO
C. MTTR
D. MTBF
Answer: D
Explanation:
MTBF is the disaster recovery metric that describes the average length of time a piece of equipment can be expected to operate normally. MTBF stands for mean
time between failures, which is a measure of the reliability and availability of a device or system. MTBF is calculated by dividing the total operating time by the
number of failures that occurred during that time. MTBF indicates how often a device or system fails and how long it can run without interruption. A higher MTBF
means a lower failure rate and a longer operational life span. References: [CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam Objectives], What Is Mean Time Between
Failures (MTBF)? | Definition & Examples | Forcepoint

A. Asymmetric routing
B. A routing loop
C. A switch loop
D. An incorrect gateway
Answer: C
Answer: A
Answer: B
Explanation:
One possible reason why users are unable to reach the site after the security team updated the web server to require https:// in the URL is that the firewall rules
are blocking the traffic to port 443. Port 443 is the default port for HTTPS, which is the protocol that encrypts and secures the web communication. If the firewall
rules do not allow inbound traffic to port 443, then users will not be able to access the web server using HTTPS12.
To troubleshoot this issue, the security team should configure inbound firewall rules to allow traffic to port 443. This can be done by using the firewall-cmd
command on RHEL 8.2, which is a tool that manages firewalld, the default firewall service on RHEL. The command to add a rule to allow traffic to port 443 is:
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/tcp
The --permanent option makes the rule persistent across reboots, and the --add-port option specifies the port number and protocol (TCP) to allow. After adding the
rule, the security
team should reload the firewalld service to apply the changes: firewall-cmd --reload
The security team can verify that the rule is active by using this command:
firewall-cmd --list-ports
The output should show 443/tcp among the ports that are allowed34.
The other options are not relevant to troubleshooting this issue. Configuring the switch port with the correct VLAN may help with network segmentation or isolation,
but it will not affect the HTTPS protocol or port. Configuring the router to include the subnet of the server may help with network routing or connectivity, but it will
not enable HTTPS communication. Configuring the server with a default route may help with network access or reachability, but it will not allow HTTPS traffic.

D. 443
E. 587
F. 8080
Answer: BC
A. Cat 7
B. Single-mode
C. Multimode
D. Cat 6
Answer: B
Explanation:
Single-mode fiber is a type of optical fiber that has a small core diameter and allows only one mode of light to propagate. This reduces signal attenuation and
increases transmission distance, making it suitable for long-distance communication networks.
Single-mode fiber can carry data over thousands of kilometers without requiring repeaters or amplifiers. Single-mode fiber is also immune to electromagnetic
interference and has a higher bandwidth than multimode fiber. Therefore, single-mode fiber is the best cable type for connecting sites on multiple continents.
References: [CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam Objectives], [Single-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia]
Single-mode fiber optic cable uses a single ray of light to transmit data. This allows it to achieve very low attenuation and high bandwidth.
Multimode fiber optic cable uses multiple rays of light to transmit data. This results in higher attenuation and lower bandwidth than single-mode cable.
Twisted pair copper cable uses two insulated copper wires to transmit data. It is less expensive than fiber optic cable, but it has higher attenuation and lower
bandwidth. When choosing a cable type for a long-distance application, it is important to consider the following factors:
? Attenuation: The amount of signal loss that occurs over the length of the cable.
? Bandwidth: The amount of data that can be transmitted over the cable per second.
? Cost: The cost of the cable and installation.
Single-mode fiber optic cable is the best choice for long-distance applications because it
has the lowest attenuation and highest bandwidth of any cable type. However, it is also the most expensive cable type.
A. Check for the existence of a known exploit in order to assess the risk
B. Immediately shut down the vulnerable application server.
C. Install a network access control agent on the server.
D. Deploy a new server to host the application.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The appropriate next step in this situation would be to check for the existence of a known exploit in order to assess the risk. This is important because it will help
the network administrator determine the severity of the vulnerability and the potential impact it could have on the organization. Once the network administrator has
assessed the risk, they can then take appropriate action to address the vulnerability. This might include patching the application, deploying a new server to host
the application, or implementing other security measures to mitigate the risk. It is generally not advisable to immediately shut down the vulnerable application
server, as this could disrupt business operations and cause significant downtime. Similarly, installing a network access control agent on the server may not be the
most effective solution, as it would not address the underlying vulnerability.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Category 7 (Cat 7) is a cabling standard that supports 10GBASE-T Ethernet connections up to 100 meters (328 feet). In order for a cabling system to be certified
as Cat 7, all components, including the patch panel, must meet the TIA/EIA-568-A standard. This standard requires the use of shielded cables with F-type
connectors for the network terminations. Reference: CompTIA Network+ Study Manual, 8th Edition, page 158.
A. NFV
B. SDWAN
C. Networking as code
D. VIP
Answer: A
Explanation:
The valid alternative to maintain a deployed proxy technology while saving physical space in the data center by moving the network service to the virtualization
infrastructure is NFV (Network Function Virtualization). NFV is a technique that allows network functions, such as proxies, firewalls, routers, or load balancers, to
be implemented as software applications running on virtual machines or containers. NFV reduces the need for dedicated hardware devices and improves
scalability and flexibility of network
services. References: CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Certification Study Guide, page 440; The Official CompTIA Network+ Student Guide (Exam N10-008), page
16-11.
NFV can be used to virtualize a wide variety of network functions, including proxy servers. By virtualizing proxy servers, organizations can save physical space in
the data center and
improve the scalability and efficiency of their networks.
To virtualize a proxy server using NFV, an organization would need to deploy a virtualization platform, such as VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V. The
organization would then need to install a virtual proxy server appliance on the virtualization platform.
Once the virtual proxy server appliance is installed, it can be configured and used just like a physical proxy server.
NFV is a relatively new technology, but it is quickly gaining popularity as organizations look for ways to improve the efficiency and scalability of their networks.
A. Check to see if the end connections were wrapped in copper tape before terminating.
B. Use passthrough modular crimping plugs instead of traditional crimping plugs.
C. Connect the RX/TX wires to different pins.
D. Run a speed test on a device that can only achieve 100Mbps speeds.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Cat 8 keystones are shielded to prevent interference from external sources, but they also require proper grounding to avoid interference from within the cable.
Wrapping the end connections with copper tape before terminating them is one way to ensure a good ground connection and reduce interference. Using
passthrough modular crimping plugs, connecting the RX/TX wires to different pins, or running a speed test on a slow device are not relevant or effective steps to
troubleshoot the issue.

C. The AP is configured with 5Ghz frequency with band-steering capabiäties.
D. The AP is configured with 5Ghz frequenc
E. which the new personal devices do not support
Answer: B
Explanation:
Band-steering is a feature that allows an AP to steer dual-band capable clients to the less congested 5GHz frequency, leaving the 2.4GHz frequency for legacy
clients. Without band- steering, the AP may have more clients competing for the same channel on the 2.4GHz frequency, resulting in high latency and airtime
contention.
References:
? According to the CompTIA Network+ Certification Exam Objectives, one of the topics covered in the exam is “Given a scenario, use appropriate wireless
technologies and configurations”. One of the subtopics is “Band steering” 1.
? According to the PoliFi: Airtime Policy Enforcement for WiFi paper, “Band steering allows the access point to disable the 2.4 GHz band from probing the client
device, so it responds only to the 5 GHz band, reducing the congestion on the 2.4 GHz band while taking advantage of the faster 5GHz band to improve user’s
network experience.” 2.
? According to the Aruba Air Slice Tech Brief, “Air Slice minimizes airtime contention and efficiently groups Wi-Fi 6 and non-Wi-Fi 6 client devices to guarantee bit
rate, and provide bounded latency and jitter simultaneously.” 3.

Answer: C
Explanation:
A captive portal is a web page that is displayed to newly connected users of a Wi-Fi network before they are granted broader access to network resources. Captive
portals are commonly used to present a landing or log-in page which may require authentication, payment, acceptance of an end-user license agreement,
acceptable use policy, survey completion, or other valid credentials that both the host and user agree to adhere by123
A possible cause of the issue is that the user has not completed the captive portal authentication process, which prevents the VPN from establishing a secure
connection over the Wi-Fi network. The user may need to open a web browser and follow the instructions on the captive portal page to gain full access to the
internet.
A. Relay
B. Lease
C. Scope
D. Range
Answer: B
Answer: A
Explanation:
A router-on-a-stick is a configuration that allows a single router interface to route traffic between multiple VLANs on a network1. A router-on-a-stick requires sub-
interfaces to be configured on the router interface, one for each VLAN. Each sub-interface is assigned a VLAN ID and an IP address that belongs to the
corresponding VLAN subnet. The router interface is connected to a switch port that is configured as a trunk port, which allows traffic from multiple VLANs to pass
through. The router then performs inter-VLAN routing by forwarding packets between the sub-interfaces based on their destination IP addresses. Inter-VLAN
routing is a process that allows devices on different VLANs to communicate with each other. Inter-VLAN routing can be performed by a router-on-a-stick
configuration, as explained above, or by a multilayer switch that has routing capabilities. A multilayer switch does not require sub-interfaces to be configured for
inter-VLAN routing; instead, it uses switch virtual interfaces (SVIs) that are associated with each VLAN. An SVI is a logical interface that represents a VLAN on a
switch and has an IP address that belongs to the VLAN subnet. The switch then performs inter-VLAN routing by forwarding packets between the SVIs based on
their destination IP addresses.
VLAN trunking is a method that allows traffic from multiple VLANs to be carried over a single link between switches or routers. VLAN trunking requires the use of a
tagging protocol, such as 802.1Q, that adds a header to each frame that identifies its VLAN ID. VLAN trunking does not require sub-interfaces to be configured on
the switches or routers; instead, it uses trunk ports that are configured to allow or deny traffic from specific VLANs. The switches or routers then forward packets
between the trunk ports based on their VLAN IDs.
* 802.1Q is a standard that defines how VLAN tagging and trunking are performed on Ethernet networks.
* 802.1Q adds a 4-byte header to each frame that contains a 12-bit field for the VLAN ID and a 3-bit field for the priority level. 802.1Q does not require sub-
interfaces to be configured on the switches or routers; instead, it uses trunk ports that are configured to support 802.1Q tagging and untagging. The switches or
routers then forward packets between the trunk ports based on their VLAN IDs and priority levels.

A. Establish a theory.
B. Implement the solution.
C. Create a plan of action.
D. Verify functionality.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Creating a plan of action is the step of the troubleshooting methodology that would most likely include checking through each level of the OSI model after the
problem has been identified. According to the web search results, the troubleshooting methodology consists of the following steps: 12
? Define the problem: Identify the symptoms and scope of the problem, and gather relevant information from users, devices, and logs.
? Establish a theory: Based on the information collected, hypothesize one or more possible causes of the problem, and rank them in order of probability.
? Test the theory: Test the most probable cause first, and if it is not confirmed, eliminate it and test the next one. Repeat this process until the root cause is found
or a new theory is needed.
? Create a plan of action: Based on the confirmed cause, devise a solution that can resolve the problem with minimal impact and risk. The solution may involve
checking through each level of the OSI model to ensure that all layers are functioning properly and that there are no configuration errors, physical damages, or
logical inconsistencies34
? Implement the solution: Execute the plan of action, and monitor the results. If the problem is not solved, revert to the previous state and create a new plan of
action.
? Verify functionality: Confirm that the problem is fully resolved and that the network is restored to normal operation. Perform preventive measures if possible to
avoid recurrence of the problem.
? Document the findings: Record the problem description, the solution, and the outcome. Update any relevant documentation, such as network diagrams, policies,
or procedures.

B. Evil twin
C. On-path
D. Piggybacking
Answer: A
Explanation:
Tailgating is a type of physical security attack where an unauthorized person follows an authorized person into a restricted area without their consent or
knowledge. Tailgating can allow an attacker to bypass security measures and gain access to sensitive information or resources. In this scenario, the technician
experienced tailgating when the unknown individual walked in behind the technician without speaking. Piggybacking is similar to tailgating, but it involves the
consent or cooperation of the authorized person. Evil twin is a type of wireless network attack where an attacker sets up a rogue access point that mimics
a legitimate one. On-path is a type of network attack where an attacker intercepts and modifies traffic between two parties.

techniques.
A. Penetration testing
B. Vulnerability testing
C. Risk assessment
D. Posture assessment
E. Baseline testing
Answer: A
Explanation:
Penetration testing is a type of security testing that is used to assess the security of a system or network by actively exploiting known vulnerabilities. It is used to
simulate an attack on the system and identify any weaknesses that may be exploited by malicious actors. As stated in the CompTIA Security+ Study Guide,
"penetration testing is a type of security assessment that attempts to gain unauthorized access to networks and systems by exploiting security vulnerabilities."
A. Port mirroring
B. Flow data
C. Syslog entries
D. SNMP traps
Answer: A
Explanation:
Port mirroring is a method of monitoring network traffic by copying the data packets from one port to another port on the same switch or router. This allows the
network security administrator to analyze the contents of the data sent between different networks without affecting the performance or security of the original
traffic. Port mirroring can be configured to capture all traffic or only specific types of traffic, such as VLANs, protocols, or IP addresses.

Answer: D
Explanation:
The 10GBASE-T connection between the two buildings uses Cat 5e, which is not rated for a distance of 410ft (125m). According to the CompTIA Network+ Study
Manual, for 10GBASE-T connections, "Cat 5e is rated for up to 55m, Cat 6a is rated for 100m, and Cat 7 is rated for 150m." Therefore, the speed issue is likely
due to the fact that the connection type is not rated for the distance between the two buildings. To resolve the issue, the technician should consider using a Cat 6a
or Cat 7 cable to increase the distance the connection is rated for.

Answer: B
A PC user who is on a local network reports very slow speeds when accessing files on the network server The user's PC Is connecting, but file downloads are very
slow when compared to other users' download speeds The PC's NIC should be capable of Gigabit Ethernet. Which of the following will MOST likely fix the issue?
Answer: B
Explanation:
A slow download speed can be caused by a faulty patch cable, which is the cable used to connect the user's PC to the network server. If the patch cable is
damaged, the connection will be slower than expected, resulting in slow download speeds. Replacing the patch cable is the most likely solution to this issue, as it
will provide a new, reliable connection that should allow for faster download speeds.
A. arp
B. route
C. netstat
D. tcpdump
E. hostname
F. ipconfig
Answer: EF
Explanation:
The hostname and ipconfig commands should be used to get the required information about the PC and share it with other users so they can connect to the
printer. The hostname command displays the name of the computer on a network. The ipconfig command displays the IP configuration of the computer, including
its IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS servers. These information are necessary for other users to locate and connect to the shared printer on the
network. For example, other users can use the UNC path \\hostname\printername or \\ipaddress\printername to access the shared printer. References: [CompTIA
Network+ Certification Exam Objectives], How to Share a Printer in Windows 10
Answer: B
Explanation:
Data center interconnect (DCI) is a solution that allows Layer 2 connectivity and data replication between geographically dispersed data centers. DCI can be
implemented using various technologies, such as optical networks, MPLS, VPNs, or Ethernet. DCI can provide benefits such as improved disaster recovery, load
balancing, resource pooling, and cloud services.

A. Mesh
B. Ad hoc
C. Point-to-point
D. Infrastructure
Answer: A
Explanation:
A mesh network is the best solution for creating a wireless field network to provide reliable service to public safety vehicles. A mesh network is a type of wireless
network that consists of multiple nodes that communicate with each other directly or through intermediate nodes, forming a web-like topology. A mesh network
does not rely on a central access point or router, but rather on the cooperation and coordination of the nodes themselves. A mesh network has several advantages
for public safety applications, such as12:
? High availability and resilience: A mesh network can automatically route around failures or congestion, ensuring that the network remains operational even if
some nodes are damaged or disconnected. A mesh network can also self-heal and self- configure, adapting to changes in the network topology or environment.
? Extended coverage and scalability: A mesh network can extend the wireless signal beyond the range of a single node, by using other nodes as relays or
repeaters. A mesh network can also accommodate more nodes and devices, by adding more links and paths between them.
? Low cost and easy deployment: A mesh network can reduce the cost and complexity of installing and maintaining a wireless infrastructure, by eliminating the
need for expensive cabling, towers, or antennas. A mesh network can also be deployed quickly and flexibly, by simply adding or removing nodes as needed.
A mesh network is especially suitable for public safety vehicles, because it can provide reliable wireless communication in challenging scenarios, such as12:
? Disaster response: A mesh network can be deployed rapidly in areas where the existing wireless infrastructure is damaged or unavailable, such as after an
earthquake, flood, or fire. A mesh network can also support emergency services, such as fire fighting, search and rescue, or medical assistance, by enabling data,
voice, and video transmission among the responders and command centers.
? Mobile surveillance: A mesh network can enable real-time monitoring and control of public safety vehicles, such as police cars, ambulances, or drones, by
providing high-bandwidth and low-latency wireless connectivity. A mesh network can also support video streaming, location tracking, remote sensing, or analytics
applications for public safety purposes.
? Event management: A mesh network can enhance the security and efficiency of large-scale events, such as concerts, festivals, or parades, by providing wireless
coverage and capacity for the event organizers and participants. A mesh network can also support crowd management, traffic control, or public announcement
applications for event management.
The other options are not the best solutions for creating a wireless field network to provide reliable service to public safety vehicles. An ad hoc network is a type of
wireless network that consists of devices that communicate with each other directly without any central coordination or infrastructure. An ad hoc network is simple
and flexible, but it has limited scalability and performance3. A point-to-point network is a type of wireless network that consists of two devices that communicate
with each other over a single link. A point-to- point network is fast and secure, but it has limited coverage and functionality. An infrastructure network is a type of
wireless network that consists of devices that communicate with each other through an access point or router. An infrastructure network is stable and robust, but it
has high cost and complexity.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Subinterfaces are logical divisions of a physical interface that allow a router to communicate with multiple networks using a single LAN port. Subinterfaces can
have different IP addresses, VLANs, and routing protocols. They are useful for reducing the number of physical interfaces and cables needed, as well as improving
network performance and security.

A. DDoS
B. ARP spoofing
C. VLAN hopping
D. Rogue DHCP
Answer: C
Explanation:
VLAN hopping is a type of network attack where an attacker can send or receive traffic from a VLAN that they are not supposed to access. VLAN hopping can
allow an attacker to bypass security policies, access sensitive data, or launch other attacks on the network. VLAN hopping can be performed using two methods:
double tagging and switch spoofing1.
Double tagging is where the attacker sends a frame with two VLAN tags, one for the native VLAN and one for the target VLAN. The native VLAN is the VLAN that
is used for untagged traffic on a trunk port. If the attacker’s access port is in the same VLAN as the native VLAN, the switch will accept the frame and forward it on
the trunk port. The switch will remove the first tag, which is the native VLAN, and send the frame with the second tag, which is the target VLAN. The frame will then
reach the target VLAN and be processed by the devices in that VLAN.
Switch spoofing is where the attacker sends Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) packets and tries to negotiate a trunk with the switch. DTP is a Cisco protocol that
allows switches to automatically form trunks between them. If the switch’s port is configured with the default dynamic auto or dynamic desirable mode, it will
accept the DTP packets and form a trunk with the attacker. The attacker will then have access to all VLANs on the trunk.
To prevent VLAN hopping, the junior network engineer is trying to change the native network ID to a non-default value that can then be applied consistently
throughout the network environment. This means that the engineer is changing the VLAN that is used for untagged traffic on the trunk ports to a different VLAN
than the default VLAN 1. This will prevent double tagging attacks, as the attacker’s access port will not be in the same VLAN as the native VLAN, and the switch
will not accept the frames with two tags. The engineer should also disable DTP on the trunk ports and use the switchport nonegotiate command to prevent switch
spoofing attacks2.

Answer: C
Explanation:
The default gateway is the IP address of the router that connects a network to the internet or another network. The default gateway is usually configured on the
devices that need to access the internet or other networks, such as PCs, servers, or routers. If the router was configured with an incorrect default gateway, it would
not be able to forward packets to the correct destination, and internet access would not be possible.
The other options are not the most likely causes of the issue. The Ethernet interface is the physical port that connects a device to a network using a cable. If the
Ethernet interface was configured with an incorrect IP address, it would cause a problem with the local network connectivity, not the internet access. The loopback
address is a special IP address that refers to the device itself, usually used for testing or troubleshooting purposes. If the router was configured with an incorrect
loopback address, it would not affect the internet access, as the loopback address is not used for routing packets to other networks. The serial interface is another
type of physical port that connects a device to a network using a serial cable, often used for WAN connections. If the serial interface was configured with the
incorrect subnet mask, it would cause a problem with the WAN connectivity, not the internet access, as the subnet mask is used to determine the network and host
portions of an IP address.

Answer: B
Explanation:
mGRE (Multipoint GRE) is a type of GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel that allows a single interface to support multiple tunnel endpoints, instead of
having to configure a separate point-to-point tunnel for each destination. mGRE simplifies the configuration and management of large-scale VPN networks, such
as DMVPN (Dynamic Multipoint VPN), which is a Cisco technology that uses mGRE, NHRP (Next Hop Resolution Protocol), and IPsec to create secure and
dynamic VPN connections between a hub and multiple spokes1.
A network expansion caused by an increase in the number of branch locations to the headquarters would justify the deployment of an mGRE hub-and-spoke
topology, because it would reduce the complexity and overhead of configuring and maintaining multiple point- to-point tunnels between the hub and each spoke.
mGRE would also enable spoke-to- spoke communication without having to go through the hub, which would improve the network performance and efficiency23.
The other options are not directly related to the use case of mGRE hub-and-spoke topology. An increase in network security using encryption and packet
encapsulation can be achieved by using IPsec, which is a separate protocol that can be applied to any type of GRE tunnel, not just mGRE. A mandatory
requirement to increase the deployment of an SDWAN network can be met by using various technologies and vendors, not necessarily mGRE or DMVPN. An
improvement in network efficiency by increasing the useful packet payload can be achieved by using various techniques, such as compression, fragmentation, or
QoS, not specifically mGRE.

Answer: B
Explanation:
Tailgating is a type of physical security attack in which an unauthorized person follows an authorized person into a restricted area, such as a data center, without
proper identification or authentication. Tailgating can allow attackers to access sensitive data, equipment, or network resources, or to plant malicious devices or
software. The network administrator prevented tailgating by stopping and directing the unknown person to the security desk, where they would have to verify their
identity and purpose.

D. Layer 7
Answer: A
Explanation:
Collisions occur when two or more devices try to transmit signals on the same physical medium at the same time. This causes interference and data loss.
Collisions can only happen at the physical layer of the OSI model, which is responsible for transmitting and receiving raw bits over a physical medium such as a
cable or a wireless channel. The physical layer does not have any mechanism to prevent or resolve collisions. Therefore, higher layers of the OSI model, such as
the data link layer, need to implement protocols to detect and recover from collisions, such as CSMA/CD for Ethernet networks. ReferencesCollision in computer

Answer: C
Explanation:
An extended service set (ESS) is a type of SSID that allows multiple access points (APs) to share the same SSID and provide seamless roaming for wireless
clients. An ESS consists of two or more basic service sets (BSSs), which are individual APs with their own SSIDs. A distribution system (DS), such as a wired
Ethernet LAN, connects the BSSs and enables data transfer between them. A wireless client can associate with any AP in the ESS and move from one BSS to
another without losing connectivity or reauthenticating.

the following
records should be used to accomplish the task?
A. TXT
B. AAA
C. PTR
D. CNAME
Answer: D
Explanation:
CNAME stands for Canonical Name, and it is a type of DNS record that creates an alias for another domain name. A CNAME record can be used to redirect a
network resource that has been moved to a different location, such as a SaaS solution. For example, if a web server that was previously hosted on the local
network with the domain name www.example.com is now hosted by a SaaS provider with the domain name www.saasprovider.com, a CNAME record can be
created to point www.example.com to www.saasprovider.com. This way, the users can still access the web server using the original domain name, and the DNS
server will resolve it to the new domain name. References

A. Port tagging
B. Port security
C. Port mirroring
D. Port aggregation
Answer: B
Explanation:
Port security is a feature that can be configured on a switch interface to limit and identify the MAC addresses of workstations that are allowed to connect to that
specific port. This can help ensure that only a specific workstation (or workstations) can connect to the interface. According to the CompTIA Network+ Study
Manual, “Port security can be used to specify which MAC addresses are allowed to connect to a particular switch port. If a port security violation is detected, the
switch can take a number of different actions, such as shutting down the port, sending an SNMP trap, or sending an email alert.”

Answer: B
Explanation:
A wireless survey is the first step that a network administrator should do before adding access points to the network. A wireless survey is a process of collecting
data about the wireless environment, such as signal strength, channel usage, interference, and coverage. A wireless survey can help the network administrator to
determine the optimal locations and configurations for the access points to provide the best possible coverage and performance for the wireless network. A
wireless survey can also help to identify and troubleshoot any issues that may cause improper coverage in some areas.

A reservation for the server based on the MAC address means that the DHCP server will assign a specific IP address to the file server every time it requests one,
based on its MAC address. This way, the file server will have a consistent IP address that users can access, without the need to manually configure it or use a
separate scope. A reservation also ensures that the IP address of the file server will not be given to any other device by the DHCP server
A. BiX
B. Krone
Answer: A
Explanation:
A 110 block is a type of punch-down block that is used to terminate twisted-pair cables in Ethernet networks. It is a non-proprietary standard that is widely used in
structured cabling systems for voice and data applications. A 110 block can support up to 100 MHz of bandwidth and can be used with Cat 3, Cat 5, Cat 5e, and
Cat 6 cables12.
A 66 block is another type of punch-down block that is mainly used for telephone wiring. It is an older and less reliable standard than the 110 block and does not
support high-speed data transmission3. A BiX block is a proprietary punch-down block that is developed by NORDX/CDT and is mostly used in Canada. It can
support up to 250 MHz of bandwidth and can be used with Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables4. A Krone block is another proprietary punch-down block that is developed by
ADC Krone and is mostly used in Europe. It can support up to 100 MHz of bandwidth and can be used with Cat 5 and Cat 5e cables. Therefore, the best option for
the customer who wants to use non-proprietary standards is the 110 block.
A. Hot
B. Cold
C. warm
D. Passive
Answer: C
Explanation:
The type of site that the company should implement for non-critical applications that can tolerate a short period of downtime is a warm site. A warm site is a
disaster recovery site that has some pre-installed equipment and software, but not as much as a hot site, which is fully operational and ready to take over the
primary site’s functions in case of a disaster. A warm site requires some time and effort to activate and synchronize with the primary site, but not as much as a
cold site, which has no equipment or software installed and requires a lot of configuration and testing. A passive site is not a common term for a disaster recovery
site, but it could refer to a site that only receives backups from the primary site and does not actively participate in the network operations. References: CompTIA
Network+ N10- 008 Certification Study Guide, page 347; The Official CompTIA Network+ Student Guide (Exam N10-008), page 13-10.
Which of the following changes should the technician make to BEST fix the issue?
Answer: D
Explanation:
The logging level is set to debugging, which is the most verbose and detailed level of logging. This means that the switch will send a lot of information to the syslog
server, which can cause excessive network traffic and storage consumption. To fix the issue, the technician should adjust the logging level to a lower value, such
as informational or warning, which will reduce the amount of data logged
A. Two or more computers have the same IP address in the ARP table.
B. The computer automatically set this address because the DHCP was not available.
C. The computer was set up to perform as an NTP server.
D. The computer is on a VPN and is the first to obtain a different IP address in that network.
Answer: B
Explanation:
IP addresses beginning with 169.254. are called link-local addresses or APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing)1. They are assigned by the computer itself when
it cannot reach a DHCP server to obtain a valid IP address from the network2. This can happen for several reasons, such as a faulty router, a misconfigured
network, or a disconnected cable3.
To troubleshoot this issue, the technician should check the network settings, the router configuration, and the physical connection of the computer. The technician
should also try to renew the IP address by using the command ipconfig /renew in Windows or dhclient in Linux. If the problem persists, the technician may need to
contact the network administrator or the ISP for further assistance.
