Q

A technician receives feedback that some users are experiencing high amounts of jitter while using the wireless network. While troubleshooting the network, the technician uses the ping command with the IP address of the default gateway and verifies large variations in latency. The technician thinks the issue may be interference from other networks and non-802.11 devices. Which of the following tools should the technician use to troubleshoot the issue?

A. NetFlow analyzer

B. Bandwidth analyzer

C. Protocol analyzer

D. Spectrum analyzer

A

D. Spectrum analyzer
Hide Solution

A spectrum analyzer is a tool that focuses on the physical layer, which will vary based on the type of analyzer. Although vendors make these analyzers for both audio and optical signals, in most cases spectrum analyzers are used to analyze wireless or radio frequency signals. Spectrum analyzers are primarily used to identify and measure the strength of radio signals that are present in the area. They can visually display these signals by frequency on the device. These devices are used to locate sources of interference that may impact the operation of a wireless network.

Q

SIMULATION -
You have been tasked with setting up a wireless network in an office. The network will consist of 3 Access Points and a single switch. The network must meet the following parameters:
✑ The SSIDs need to be configured as CorpNet with a key of S3cr3t!
✑ The wireless signals should not interfere with each other
✑ The subnet the Access Points and switch are on should only support 30 devices maximum
✑ The Access Points should be configured to only support TKIP clients at a maximum speed

INSTRUCTONS -
Click on the wireless devices and review their information and adjust the settings of the access points to meet the given requirements.
If at any time you would like to bring back the initial state of the simulation, please click the Reset All button.

Which of the following metrics confirms there is a cabling issue?

A. Last cleared

B. Number of packets output

C. CRCs

D. Giants

E. Multicasts

An IT director is setting up new disaster and HA policies for a company. Limited downtime is critical to operations. To meet corporate requirements, the director set up two different datacenters across the country that will stay current on data and applications. In the event of an outage, the company can immediately switch from one datacenter to another. Which of the following does this BEST describe?

A. A warm site

B. Data mirroring

C. Multipathing

D. Load balancing

E. A hot site

A

E. A hot site

A hot site is a leased facility that contains all the resources needed for full operation. This environment includes computers, raised flooring, full utilities, electrical and communications wiring, networking equipment, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs). The only resource that must be restored at a hot site is the organization’s data, usually only partially. It should only take a few minutes to bring a hot site to full operation.

Although a hot site provides the quickest recovery, it is the most expensive to maintain. In addition, it can be administratively hard to manage if the organization requires proprietary hardware or software. A hot site requires the same security controls as the primary facility and full redundancy, including hardware, software, and communication wiring.

A. Audit logs

B. CPU utilization

C. CRC errors

D. Jitter

A

B. CPU utilization

Audit logs is wrong for a few reasons. One, the question is asking which metric to review. Logs are not metrics. Furthermore audit logs are for authentication/authorization which won’t help with identifying the problem. Looking at CPU utilization will help narrow down the problem.

Within the realm of network security, Zero Trust:

A. prevents attackers from moving laterally through a system.

B. allows a server to communicate with outside networks without a firewall.

C. block malicious software that is too new to be found in virus definitions.

D. stops infected files from being downloaded via websites.

A

A. prevents attackers from moving laterally through a system. Most Voted

The definition of Zero trust mentions nothing about firewalls, viruses or stopping infected files from being downloaded.

Lesson 13: Topic 13A: Privileged Access Management - Zero trust is based on the idea that perimeter security is unlikely to be completely robust. On a modern network, there are just too many opportunities for traffic to escape monitoring/filtering by perimeter devices. Zero trust uses systems such as continuous authentication and conditional access to mitigate privilege escalation and account compromise by threat actors. Another zero-trust technique is to apply micro-segmentation. Microsegmentation is a security process that is capable of applying policies to a single node, as though it was in a zone of its own.
