Security+ Practice Test 7

Question 1

A network device designed for managing the optimal distribution of workloads across multiple computing resources is known as:

Answer 1

Load balancer

Question 2

Which of the terms listed below refers to a method that ignores the load balancing algorithm by consistently passing requests from a given client to the same server?

Answer 2

Session affinity

Question 3

In a round-robin method, each consecutive request is handled by:

Answer 3

Next server in a cluster

Question 4

In a weighted round-robin method, each consecutive request is handled in a rotational fashion, but servers with higher specs are designated to process more workload.

Answer 4

True

Question 5

In active-passive mode, load balancers distribute network traffic across:

Answer 5

Servers marked as active

Question 6

In active-active mode, load balancers distribute network traffic across:

Answer 6

All servers

Question 7

An IP address that doesn’t correspond to any actual physical network interface is called a virtual IP address (VIP/VIPA).

Answer 7

True

Question 8

What type of IP address would be assigned to a software-based load balancer to handle an Internet site hosted on several web servers, each with its own private IP address?

Answer 8

Virtual IP address

Question 9

An infrastructure device designed for connecting wireless/wired client devices to a network is commonly referred to as:

Answer 9

Access Point (AP)

Question 10

Which of the following acronyms is used as a unique identifier for a WLAN (a wireless network name)?

Answer 10

SSID

Question 11

Disabling SSID broadcast:

Answer 11

Makes a WLAN harder to discover

Question 12

A network security access control method whereby the 48-bit physical address assigned to each network card is used to determine access to the network is known as:

Answer 12

MAC filtering

Question 13

Which of the tools listed below would be of help in troubleshooting signal loss and low wireless network signal coverage?

Answer 13

WAP power level controls

Question 14

Frequency bands for IEEE 802.11 networks include:

Answer 14

5. 0 GHz

2. 4 GHz

Question 15

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.

Answer 15

True

Question 16

Which of the following answers refers to a common antenna type used as a standard equipment on most Access Points (APs) for indoor Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) deployments?

Answer 16

Dipole antenna

Question 17

Which of the antenna types listed below provide a 360-degree horizontal signal coverage?

Answer 17

Dipole antenna

Omnidirectional antenna

Question 18

Which of the following answers refer to highly directional antenna types used for long-range point-to-point bridging links?

Answer 18

Dish antenna

Unidirectional antenna

Question 19

An optimal Wireless Access Point (WAP) antenna placement provides a countermeasure against:

Answer 19

War driving

Question 20

A type of architecture in which most of the network configuration settings of an Access Point (AP) are set and managed with the use of a central switch or controller is called:

Answer 20

Thin AP

Question 21

The term “Fat AP” refers to a stand-alone Access Point (AP) device type offering extended network configuration options that can be set and managed after logging in to the device.

Answer 21

True

Question 22

A technology that allows for real-time analysis of security alerts generated by network hardware and applications is known as:

Answer 22

SIEM

Question 23

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

Answer 23

Use of rewritable storage media

Question 24

Which of the terms listed below refers to computer data storage systems, data storage devices, and data storage media that can be written to once, but read from multiple times?

Answer 24

WORM

Question 25

Which of the following acronyms listed refers to software or hardware-based security solutions designed to detect and prevent unauthorized use and transmission of confidential information outside of the corporate network?

Answer 25

DLP
