Which of the following is an advantage of P2P file sharing?

HIDE ANSWER

Scalable

Centrally controlled

Secure

Inexpensive

Explanation: Peer-to-peer networks are often less expensive to set up and maintain than other types of networks. A network operating system, such as Windows Server 2019, is much more expensive than a desktop operating system, such as Windows 10. P2P networks are not scalable and are not necessarily secure. Client-server networks store user accounts and passwords in one place, and access permissions are centrally granted.

Inexpensive

What is the minimum amount of ESD required to damage sensitive electronic equipment?

HIDE ANSWER

1,500 volts

800 volts

The correct answer 10 volts

Explanation: When your body and a component have different static charges and you touch the component, you can discharge up to 1,500 volts of static electricity without seeing a spark or feeling the discharge. However, it only takes 10 volts to damage the component. This means you could fry a motherboard and never even feel a shock.

2 volts

10 volt

. What is the name of the domain controller database that Windows Server 2019 uses to store data about user access and resources on the network?

2. What is the fundamental distinction between a layer 2 switch and a router?

A layer 2 switch belongs only to its local network and router belongs to two or more networks

3. What is the fundamental distinction between a node and a host?

A host is an endpoint device that hosts or accesses a resource on the network, and a
node is any computer or device that can be addressed on the network

4. What is the fundamental distinction between a MAN and a WAN?

MAN = covers a city.
👉 WAN = covers a country/world.

5. List two protocols that function at the transport layer of the OSI model. What type of address do these protocols add to their headers, and what element does that address identify?

Protocols: TCP and UDP
👉 They add a port number to their headers.
👉 The port identifies the application/service (like web or email).

6. At the network layer, what type of address is used to identify the receiving host?

IP address

7. At the data link layer, which type of network address is used to identify the receiving node?

👉 MAC address, physical address,hardware address, and data link layer address

9. A user can access websites but not email. At which layer of the OSI model should you begin troubleshooting this problem and why?

Application layer — because the problem is with the email app/protocol, not the whole network.

While troubleshooting, you find the problem is complex, affects many users, and even testing your theory won’t solve it. What should you do next?

Escalate the problem (pass it to higher-level support).
