N10-008 Exam Question 202
Which of the following best describes what an organization would use port address translation for?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation The best answer is B. Public address on the perimeter router. Port address translation (PAT) is a function that allows multiple users within a private network to make use of a minimal number of IP addresses. Its basic function is to share a single IP public address between multiple clients who need to use the Internet publicly. It is an extension of network address translation (NAT)1. PAT works by creating dynamic NAT mapping, in which a global (public) IP address and a unique port number are selected. The router keeps a NAT table entry for every unique combination of the private IP address and port, with translation to the global address and a unique port number2. Therefore, an organization would use PAT for having a public address on the perimeter router, which can be shared by many hosts on the private network using different port numbers. This can reduce the bandwidth consumption and cost of the organization's internet connection, as well as provide some security benefits by hiding the internal network structure3. The other options are not correct because: VLANs on the perimeter are not related to PAT, as they are used to segment the network into logical groups based on different criteria, such as function, security, or performance4. Non-routable address on the perimeter router would not allow the organization to access the Internet or the cloud, as non-routable addresses are not valid on the public network and cannot be translated by PAT5. Servers on the perimeter are not a reason to use PAT, as servers usually have static IP addresses and do not need to share a public address with other hosts. Servers on the perimeter may use NAT, but not PAT, to map their private IP addresses to a public IP address2.

After rebooting an AP a user is no longer able to conned to me enterprise LAN A technician plugs a laptop In to the same network jack and receives the IP 169.254 0 200. Which of the following is MOST likely causing the issue?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation DHCP scope exhaustion occurs when the number of available IP addresses to be leased from a DHCP server have been used up. This could be caused by a large number of clients on the network, or a misconfigured DHCP scope. When this happens, clients will be assigned an IP address from the APIPA range (169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255). To resolve this issue, the DHCP scope needs to be expanded or adjusted to accommodate the number of clients on the network.

A network administrator is troubleshooting a client's device that cannot connect to the network. A physical inspection of the switch shows the RJ45 is connected. The NIC shows no activity lights. The network administrator moves the device to another location and connects to the network without issues. Which Of the following tools would be the BEST option for the network administrator to use to further troubleshoot?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation A cable tester is a tool that can verify the integrity and functionality of a network cable. It can measure the electrical characteristics of the cable, such as resistance, capacitance, and impedance, and detect any faults or defects, such as shorts, opens, or crosstalk. A cable tester can help the network administrator troubleshoot the problem by determining if the cable is faulty or not. A tone generator is a tool that can send an audible signal through a cable to help locate and identify it. A multimeter is a tool that can measure voltage, current, and resistance of electrical circuits. An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is a tool that can test the quality and length of fiber optic cables.
