Q

A common example of channel overlapping in wireless networking could be the 2.4 GHz band used in 802.11 networks, where the 2.401 - 2.473 GHz frequency range is used for allocating 11 channels, each taking up a 22-MHz portion of the available spectrum. Setting up a wireless network to operate on a non-overlapping channel (1, 6, and 11 in this case) allows multiple networks to coexist in the same area without causing interference.

22
Q 
A technology that allows for real-time analysis of security alerts generated by network hardware and applications is known as:
LACP
DSCP
SIEM
LWAPP
A

SIEM

In the field of computer security, security information and event management (SIEM) software products and services combine security information management (SIM) and security event management (SEM). They provide real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware.

23
Q

Which of the following statements describing the functionality of SIEM is not true?

Data can be collected from many different sources
Collected data can be processed into actionable information
Automated alerting and triggers

DVD-RW
Tape library
Floppy disk
WORM

A

WORM

Write once read many describes a data storage device in which information, once written, cannot be modified. This write protection affords the assurance that the data cannot be tampered with once it is written to the device.

25
