Which of the following commands can be used to display the IP address, subnet address, gateway address, and DNS address on a Windows computer?
Correct Answer: D
The ipconfig command is a utility that allows you to view and modify the network configuration of a Windows computer. By running the command "ipconfig /all", you can view detailed information about the network configuration of your computer, including the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses. Option A (netstat -a) is a command that displays active network connections and their status, but it does not display IP address or other network configuration information. Option B (ifconfig) is a command used on Linux and Unix systems to view and modify network configuration, but it is not available on Windows. Option C (ip addr) is a command used on Linux and Unix systems to view and modify network configuration, but it is not available on Windows.
N10-008 Exam Question 2
A technician is troubleshooting airport about network connectivity issues on a workstation. Upon investigation, the technician notes the workstation is showing an APIPA address on the network interface. The technician verifies that the VLAN assignment is correct and that the network interface has connectivity. Which of the following is most likely the issue the workstation is experiencing?
Correct Answer: A
DHCP exhaustion is a situation where the DHCP server runs out of available IP addresses to assign to clients. This can happen due to misconfiguration, malicious attacks, or high demand. When a client requests an IP address from the DHCP server and does not receive a response, it may resort to using an APIPA address, which is a self-assigned address in the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. APIPA addresses are only valid for local communication and cannot access the internet or other networks. Therefore, a workstation showing an APIPA address indicates that it failed to obtain a valid IP address from the DHCP server, most likely due to DHCP exhaustion
N10-008 Exam Question 3
A network administrator needs to add access points to the network because coverage in some areas is improper. Which of the following should the administrator do first?
Correct Answer: B
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. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/5500-series-wireless-controllers/116057-site-survey-guidelines-wlan-00.html
N10-008 Exam Question 4
A technician wants to monitor and provide traffic segmentation across the network. The technician would like to assign each department a specific identifier. Which of the following will the technician MOST likely use?
Correct Answer: C
To monitor and provide traffic segmentation across the network, a technician may use the concept of VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). VLANs are a way of dividing a single physical network into multiple logical networks, each with its own unique identifier or "tag." By assigning each department a specific VLAN identifier, the technician can segment the network traffic and ensure that the different departments' traffic is kept separate from one another. This can help to improve network security, performance, and scalability, as well as allowing for better monitoring and control of the network traffic. To implement VLANs, the technician will need to configure VLAN tagging on the network devices, such as switches and routers, and assign each department's devices to the appropriate VLAN. The technician may also need to configure VLAN trunking to allow the different VLANs to communicate with each other. By using VLANs, the technician can effectively monitor and segment the network traffic, providing better control and visibility into the network.
N10-008 Exam Question 5
A false camera is installed outside a building to assist with physical security. Which of the following is the device assisting?
Correct Answer: D
A false camera is a dummy device that looks like a real camera but does not actually record or transmit any video. It is used to deter potential intruders or attackers from entering or damaging a building by creating the illusion of surveillance. Therefore, it is a preventive measure that aims to reduce the likelihood or impact of a security breach. It is not a detection, recovery, or identification tool, as it does not alert, restore, or recognize any security incidents.
