Networking (5) Flashcards
Which networking protocol allows systems to discover local systems and other devices?
DHCP
HTTP
SLP
SLP
Service Location Protocol (SLP) enables a computer to discover local systems and other devices, if it is not already preconfigured with their location
Which of the following features does not require a managed network switch?
Priority of traffic
VLAN configuration
Directing Layer 2 traffic
Directing Layer 2 traffic
An unmanaged switch will simply perform the one task a switch should do: direct Layer 2 traffic out the correct destination port
The senior network administrator struggles to configure company network devices spanning several cities. The challenge is because he is required to be on premises for the network infrastructure of each building. What would be a cost-effective solution?
Employ network administration at each building
Train a local sales associate
Employ a cloud-based network controller
Employ a cloud-based network controller
Migrating network configuration to the cloud would allow the network administrator to perform his duties without requiring travel
What is the maximum distance allowed between power over Ethernet injector and the Ethernet device?
50 meters
100 meters
250 meters
100 meters
The distance for Power over Ethernet (PoE) is limited by the maximum distance set by the Ethernet cabling: 100 meters. The power injector, the device that sources the electrical power to certain wires in the cable, can be as much as 100 meters from the powered device
When setting up a small office, home office (SOHO) network, what end-user device configuration must be performed?
Network switch broadcast configuration settings
Devices utilize service location protocol
NIC set with static address or be DHCP- served
NIC set with static address or be DHCP- served
The end-user devices are configured to at least request a DHCP-assigned IP address or be preconfigured with a static IP, gateway and DNS information
What is the typical method for IoT device configuration to connect to the wireless network?
AD
SLP
DHCP
DHCP
Unless an Internet of Things device (IoT) possesses an end-user accessible management interface, that device will likely connect by starting network connectivity using DHCP
What method is effective in defining how a firewall allows outbound access when the group of approved devices rarely changes?
MAC filtering
Dynamic DNS
Whitelist
MAC filtering
If the group of devices is small and rarely changes, a great way of defining only them as approved traffic sources is to use MAC filtering
What firewall rule technique allows only a known list of applications or traffic as legitimate?
MAC filtering
Dynamic DNS
Whitelist
Whitelist
The whitelist is a defined list of approved applications to pass through the firewall
What communication technology establishes connectivity between enabled devices only when the devices are placed within 4 cm of each other?
RFID
NFC
UHF
NFC
Near-field communication (NFC) sets up connections between two devices that are within 2 inches, or 4 cm, of each other
What communication technology allows for low power, close-proximity passive reading of a small tag or patch on an object?
RFID
NFC
UHF
RFID
RFID uses radio frequencies and can be implemented to detect and read a “passive” (no power) tag that is essentially an antenna as it passes within a few feet in range
What is the role of the server for publishing information about the company’s values, purpose, and available products or services to the public?
Proxy server
File server
Web server
Web server
The web server hosts and serves information available to the public (or internally as an intranet web server). Originally, files on the web server would be primarily HTML files, but today’s web servers would also serve style sheets, scripts, and various media files
What server would function as a central repository of documents and provide network shared file storage for internal users?
Proxy server
File server
Web server
File server
The file server is a centralized repository for users, typically company employees
What server sits between the protected, controlled network and the public internet, functioning as a gatekeeper of traffic?
Proxy server
File server
Web server
Proxy server
Proxy servers act as a gateway or “middle-man,” through which Internet access requests are handled, monitored, and, if need be, filtered
What type of server can host files for easy access and fetching, similar to how a web server serves web pages?
FTP server
File server
Web server
FTP server
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server hosts files for easy access, allowing users who are able to browse it to transfer and upload the files
What server is added to a company infrastructure to avoid the need to attach printers to each individual desktop?
Syslog server
DNS server
Print server
Print server
The print server provides centralized availability of print services to anyone on the network. The print server accepts print jobs from authorized users, and the documents are printed according to order of receipt or some configured priority
