What is the IP address of the device that is translating website names to and from their public IP addresses?

8.8.8.8

New cards
3

How many locked octets does a Class A IP address have?

One

New cards
4

Given a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which two IP addresses are on the same network?

192.168.10.25 and 192.168.10.100

Raphael is asked to help Sonia configure her home router. What are some basic steps that Raphael should advise Sonia to do?

Configure WAN/LAN connections, change default password and SSID, and reserve IPs from outside the DHCP pool for devices that need static IPs.

New cards
6

How many bits are in an IPv6 address?

128

New cards
7

Which service uses port 445?

SMB

New cards
8

Why is it necessary to use port numbers when data is being transferred between a client and a server?

Port numbers ensure that data gets to the correct application.

9

DNS is like a contact list for the internet, converting FQDN (e.g., www.totalsem.com) into a public IP address. How does this work?

The local DNS server connects with a network of authoritative root and domain servers that store this information.

New cards
10

TCP is a connection-based protocol, and UDP is a connectionless protocol. How would you describe each of these behaviors?

TCP requires a connection to be established prior to exchange of data, while UDP allows the transfer of data without any prior connection.

New cards
11

When using nslookup to troubleshoot possible DNS issues, which notification indicates that DNS is down?

DNS request timed out.

New cards
12

What is the maximum number of characters in an FQDN?

255 (including dots)

New cards
13

What are three attributes of IPv6?

It consists of 8 groups of 4 hexadecimal values, it is always a /64 subnet mask, and the notation can be shortened in some cases.

New cards
14

In this IP configuration, which of the IP addresses shown belongs to the router?

192.168.10.1

New cards
15

You are called about a problem and told there are two computers plugged into the same switch, and they cannot see or talk to each other. The first step is to check for the existence of VLANs. Why?

If the ports the computers are plugged into are configured with different VLANs, the computers are on different networks.

New cards
16

Quality of Service (QoS) is a tool set that allows you to meter and adjust bandwidth priority for services using a port number, Mac address, or IP address. Why would you use this setting?

to give bandwidth priority to a particular service, such as gaming or video streaming

New cards
17

Which option is most likely to prevent a device from connecting to a previously-used Wi-Fi network?

The SSID has changed.

New cards
18

How would you describe the difference between public and private IP addresses?

Private IPs are used to address devices on local area networks, while public IPs are used to connect one LAN to another with routers.

New cards
19

What does 255 mean in a subnet mask?

The octet is part of the network address.

New cards
20

Alex is troubleshooting connectivity issues on a wired network and asks you for help. What will you advise him to check first?

cable connections, link lights, and IP addressing

New cards
21

How would you describe the difference between these two configurations?

The left is a static IP configuration, and the right is a DHCP configuration.

New cards
22

Why is network address translation (NAT) so important to networking?

It reduces the number of necessary public IP addresses by allowing local networks to use private IP addresses and share a public IP address.
