You are concerned about attacks directed against the firewall on your network. You would like to examine the
content of individual frames sent to the firewall.
Which tool should you use?
Load tester Throughput tester System log Packet sniffer Event log
Packet sniffer
You want to be able to identify traffic that is being generated and sent through the network by a specific application running on a device. Which tool should you use? Multimeter Protocol analyzer Toner probe TDR Certifier
Protocol analyzer
You have a WAN link that connects two sites. The WAN link is supposed to provide 1.5 Mbps of bandwidth.
You want to perform a test to see the actual bandwidth of the link.
Which tool should you use?
Load tester
Throughput tester
Baseline
Packet sniffer
Throughput tester
You manage a firewall that connects your private network to the Internet. You would like to see a record of
every packet that has been rejected by the firewall in the past month.
Which tool should you use?
Event log
Load tester
Packet sniffer
Throughput tester
Event log
You have a Web site that customers use to view product information and place orders. You would like to
identify the maximum number of simultaneous sessions that this server can maintain before performance is
negatively impacted.
Which tool should you use?
System log Packet sniffer Load tester Baseline Throughput tester
Load tester
You decide to use a packet sniffer to identify the type of traffic sent to a router. You run the packet sniffing
software on a device which is connected to a hub with three other computers. The hub is connected to the
same switch that is connected to the router.
When you run the software, you only see frames addressed to the four workstations but not to the router.
Which feature should you configure?
Promiscuous mode
Bonding
Mirroring
Spanning tree
Mirroring
You want to know what protocols are being used on your network. You’d like to monitor network traffic and
sort traffic based on protocol.
Which tool should you use?
IDS IPS Throughput tester Packet sniffer Port scanner
Packet sniffer
You connect a packet sniffer to a switch to monitor frames on your local area network. However, the packet
sniffer is only able to see broadcast frames and frames addressed specifically to the host device.
Which feature should you enable on the switch so you can see frames from all devices connected to the
switch?
Trunking
Spanning tree
Mirroring
Bonding
Mirroring
You have a small network of devices connected together using a switch. You want to capture the traffic that is
sent from Host A to Host B.
On Host C, you install a packet sniffer that captures network traffic. After running the packet sniffer, you
cannot find any captured packets between Host A and Host B.
What should you do?
Connect hosts A and B together on the same switch port through a hub.
Configure the default gateway address on hosts A and B with the IP address of Host C.
Manually set the MAC address of Host C to the MAC address of Host A.
Run the packet sniffer application on Host B.
Run the packet sniffer application on Host B.
You have installed a new application on a network device. During testing, it appears as if the software is
causing other services running on the device to stop responding.
Which tool should you consult to identify the problem?
Packet sniffer
Application log
Load tester
Throughput tester
