DKIM ****
DomainKeys Identified Mail is a method of email authentication that allows the receiver to verify that an email message was sent by an authorized sender and has not been tampered with during transit. This is done by using public-key cryptography to sign outgoing messages, with the receiving server verifying the signature against a public key published in DNS.
38
SPF
Sender Policy Framework Another email authentication method that helps prevent email spoofing by verifying that sender's IP address is authorized to send email for a particular domain. SPF records are published in the DNS and specify which IP addresses are allowed to send email on behalf of the domain
39
Test question mentioned by peer: Something like you need an IP address and configured for a computer you're adding to the network ****
DHCP
40
DMARC
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance is a more advanced email authentication protocol that combines the use of DKIM and SPF records to provide greater visibility and control over email authentication. DMARC policies are also published in DNS and allow domain owners to specify how receivers should handle email that fails authentication checks. For example, DMARC policies can instruct receivers to quarantine or reject suspicious email.
41
SAN****
Storage Area Network Opposite of NAS (Network Attached Storage) For large enterprise networks We could have racks and racks of storage devices in the back room of data room
42
iSCSI
Internet Small Computer System Interface A protocol used to facilitate the transfer of data over IP networks, allowing for block-level storage access SAN
43
FCOE
Fibre channel over ethernet Network technology that encapsulates Fibre Channel to use high-speed Ethernet networks 10 Gbps or higher Commonly used in data centers to streamline storage networking and improve efficiency
44
Question from peer on exam: What is the first thing you need to do as an organization for a Wi-Fi network? ****
You need to do a Site Survey need to know where wires come, cables, and etc.

56
Ways to find out printer IP addresses
Print a test page Check your routers configuration on IP address being used on your network Check printer properties Using ARP command
57
Spooling option
Stores print jobs temporarily If printer stops printing and you see pages lined up in the queue what is the first thing you do? Flush the spoiler Open up computer management; services and applications go in and find print spooler service; click restart
