www
paris
mydomain
org
paris
The word paris is the name of the bottom most domain in the given FQDN. paris is a subdomain within mydomain, and mydomain is a second- level domain registered by a particular organization. The topmost layer in the DNS hierarchy is represented by org, which is a top- level domain. In this FQDN, www is not the name of a domain; it is the name of a particular host in the paris.mydomain.org domain.

Active Routes:
Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 On- link 127.0.0.1 331
127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 On- link 127.0.0.1 331
127.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On- link 127.0.0.1 331
192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 On- link 192.168.2.37 281
192.168.2.37 255.255.255.255 On- link 192.168.2.37 281
192.168.2.255 255.255.255.255 On- link 192.168.2.37 281
224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On- link 127.0.0.1 331
224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On- link 192.168.2.37 281
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On- link 127.0.0.1 331
255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On- link 192.168.2.37 281
===========================
Persistent Routes: None
The routing table does not specify a loopback address.
The routing table does not specify a DNS server address.
The routing table does not specify a default gateway address.
The routing table contains two different routes to the 224.0.0.0 network
The routing table does not specify a default gateway address.
To access the Internet, the workstation’s routing table must include a default gateway entry, which would have a Network Destination value of 0.0.0.0. A workstation’s routing table does not have to specify the address of a Domain Name System (DNS) server. The loopback (127.0.0.1) and multicast (224.0.0.0) addresses are normal routing table entries that do not affect Internet access.

- Multimode cables have a smaller core filament than single- mode cables.
- Multimode cables have a smaller bend radius than single- mode, making them easier to install.
- Multimode fiber- optic cables require a ground, whereas single- mode cables do not
- Multimode cables use an LED light source, while single- mode cables use a laser.

The datacenter is already secured from unauthorized access.
The switch is configured to use a MAC- based ACL.
Leaving some ports enabled facilitates the on- boarding of new users.

68- You are having trouble installing a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) using IEEE 802.11b/g equipment in a new office complex. The wireless devices have trouble connecting to the access point, and when they do, they achieve only low speeds. When you use a WiFi analyzer to scan the 2.4 GHz frequency band, you see literally dozens of other networks in the area, spread across all of the available channels. Choose the tasks from the following list that you should perform to enable your wireless devices to connect to the network reliably and at their best possible speeds. (Choose all that apply.)
- Configure the access point to suppress SSID broadcasts.
- Configure all of the wireless network devices to use the 5 GHz band.
- Upgrade all of the network devices to the latest firmware.
- Configure all of the network devices to use WPA2 encryption with AES.
- Upgrade the access point and all of the wireless client devices to IEEE 802.11n.
- Configure all of the wireless network devices to use the 5 GHz band.
- Upgrade the access point and all of the wireless client devices to IEEE 802.11n.
this seems like a real BULLSHIT question. 802.11 b/g equipment cannot do 5 Ghz, so B is not an option. But it is if you can do E, which apparently is correct. This is total nonsense wording

The customer reports that she cannot access the other two computers in the house from her workstation, nor can she access the Internet. You ask her to run the ipconfig /all command and read the results to you. She says that her IP address is 192.168.0.2, her subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and her default gateway is 192.168.0.1. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the customer’s problem?

- The customer has an incorrect subnet mask.
- The customer’s network cable is damaged or unplugged.
- The customer has an incorrect default gateway address

85- You are starting work at a new company, and on your first day, you ask about wireless access for your laptop. You are given a Service Set Identifier (SSID) and a WiFi Protected Access II (WPA2) passphrase. Later, in the lunchroom, when you try to connect your laptop to the network, you cannot see the SSID you were given in the list of available networks, although you can see other networks. What should you do next to try to resolve the problem?
Move closer to the Wireless Access Point (WAP).
Move away from the microwave in the lunchroom.
Type in the WPA2 passphrase.
Type the SSID in manually.
Type the SSID in manually.
