Q

What is the purpose of packet sniffers?
A. Discarding frames
B. Sending transmissions from one port to another port
C. Looking inside every packet on a network segment
D. Stopping malicious behavior on the network

A

C. The basic purpose of packet sniffers or network analyzers is to collect and analyze each
individual packet that is captured on a specific network segment to determine whether
problems are happening. You can also use them to see if there is too much traffic on a
segment.

Q 
You need to trace cables in multiple-pair wiring. What tool will you use?
A. Toner probe
B. IDS
C. Cable tester
D. Butt set
A

A. A toner probe sends a signal down a pair of wires so that the wires can be traced.
Typically, a butt set is used to find this signal, but toner probe is the best answer to this
question.

Q 
What tool would you use to both find a break in a fiber-optic connection and test the fiber
connectivity on the network?
A. Multimeter
B. OTDR
C. Butt set
D. Toner probe
A

B. An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is an optoelectronic instrument used to
give you the skinny on optical fibers. It works by putting out a series of optical pulses into
the specific fiber you want to test and can tell you if a break in the fiber has occurred and
where.

You need to create a cable that will connect your host to a wall jack connection. Which of
the following will you use?
A. IDS/IPS
B. Snips
C. Coax cable strippers
D. Multimeter
A

B. To create a patch cable (568A) to connect your host to a jack in the wall, you need to use
a snip.

Q

Where is the IDS/IPS software typically placed within a network?
A. Between the internal router and the firewall connected to the ISP
B. Between the printer and the router connected to the ISP
C. Between the computer and the switch configured with VLANs
D. Between the firewall and the router connected to the email server

A

A. Remember that firewalls are the first line of defense for an Internet-connected network.
If a network was directly connected to the Internet without a firewall, an attacker could
theoretically gain direct access to the computers and servers on that network with little
effort. The IDS/IPS software is usually positioned between your internal router and the
firewall to the outside network (Internet).

17
Q 
What is the purpose of a port scanner?
A. Scan UDP for closed ports
B. Sweep TCP for closed ports
C. Search the network host for open ports
D. None of the above
A

C. Hope you answered C! A port scanner is just a piece of software designed to search a
network for open hosts. Administrators of networks use port scanners to ensure security
and bad guys use them to compromise it.

18
Q

What is the purpose of wire-map testers?
A. Check copper cable for crossed pairs only
B. Analyze protocols in software
C. Help find unused protocols and remove them from the network
D. Detect transposed wires, opens, and shorts in twisted-pair cables

A

D. Wire-map testing is the most basic type of testing for twisted-pair cables. It detects
transposed wires, opens (broken or unconnected wires), and shorts (wires or pins
improperly connected to each other).

19
Q

Which of the following can check the speed and condition of the signal on a cable, measure
the time it takes to send a signal down the wire and back, and find the exact location of a
break?
A. Multimeter
B. TDR
C. Tone generator
D. Event recorder

A

B. A time-domain reflectometer (TDR) is a tool that finds and describes faults in metallic
cables like twisted wire pairs and coaxial cables. The equivalent device for optical fiber
is an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR). A TDR can also check the speed and
condition of the signal on the cable.

20
Q 
Which device should be used if you need to determine whether your network meets ISO or
TIA standards?
A. Angry IP
B. Certifiers
C. Nmap
D. Routing table
A

B. A certifier is a combination cable tester and network analyzer, only better. It can test
the performance and response times of network resources and certify your full Category 6
cable installation at the same time.

21
Q 
Which software tool is used to view network traffic at the frame level?
A. TDR
B. Multimeter
C. Port scanner
D. Packet sniffer
A

D. Unlike port scanners, packet sniffers actually look inside every packet on a network
segment at the frame level.

22
Q

Which of the following options is not a function of a TDR?
A. Estimate cable lengths
B. Find splice and connector locations and their associated loss amounts
C. Display unused services
D. Determine cable-impedance characteristics
E. Send a signal down a cable and measure how long it takes to come back

A

C. Due to sensitivity to any variation and impedance, options A, B, D, and E are all
reasons you’d use a TDR.

Display unused services

23
Q 
Which device would be used to measure voltage?
A. Multimeter
B. OTDR
C. Butt set
D. Toner probe
A

A. A multimeter, or a volt/ohm meter (VOM), is used to measure voltage, current, and
resistance.

24
Q 
Which device would most likely be used to locate a specific connection in an unlabeled
punch-down block?
A. VOM
B. Certifier
C. TDR
D. Toner probe
A

D. Otherwise known as a “fox and hound” wire tracer, a toner probe would be useful in
this situation. A toner probe will emit an audible tone when it touches the other end of the
cable

25
Q 
Which tool would be used to connect wire between two punch-down block blades?
A. Punch-down tool
B. Crimper
C. Snips
D. Strippers
A

A. I hope you said A! A punch-down tool would be used if you needed to connect wire to a
punch-down block. Most networks today have wiring closets, and to terminate the cables,
you’re certain to need a punch-down tool.

26
Q 
Which tool is used to attach an RJ-45 connector to a Cat 5 cable?
A. Punch-down tool
B. Crimper
C. Snips
D. Strippers
A

B. A wire crimper, or crimper, is used for attaching ends onto different types of network
cables

27
Q 
On which of the following would a technician use a punch-down tool?
A. RJ-45 connector
B. CSU/DSU
C. 110 block
D. Fiber ST connector
A

C. A punch-down tool is used to punch down an RJ-45 cable to an insulation displacement
connector, typically a 110 block.

28
Q 
Which device monitors incoming voltage levels and overvoltage thresholds?
A. Repeater
B. Toner probe
C. VOM
D. Surge protector
A

D. An everyday surge protector monitors the incoming voltage level and trips a circuit
breaker when the voltage reaches a certain level, known as the overvoltage threshold.

29
Q 
Which of the following tools can test a port on a device?
A. Cable certifier
B. Loopback plug
C. Butt set
D. Toner probe
A

B. A loopback test is a diagnostic procedure in which a signal is transmitted and returned
to the sending device after passing through all or a portion of a network or circuit. A
loopback plug makes this test possible.

30
Q

You install new switches in your server room and are now experiencing network instability
and other issues across all servers in the rack. Which device would be used to alert you of a
system overheating?
A. Voltage event recorder
B. Temperature monitor
C. Surge protector
D. Probe

A

B. Electronic devices are prone to overheating, which is why you should use a temperature
monitor
