Exam 9: Network Fundamentals and Configuration

In which layers of the OSI model does the network interface operate?

Your company has just opened an office in another state and you need the computers to communicate between the offices. What type of network should you create?

Which of the following is a reason that data is transferred in chunks rather than as one long transfer of data?

The Internetwork layer is where the HTTP protocol operates.

Why is the MAC address also referred to as the physical address?

A frame is a packet with the source and destination MAC addresses added to it.

You are troubleshooting a network connectivity issue on a client computer. You cannot ping the computer and the computer cannot ping any other computers on the network, but the network interface is showing a valid network connection. You run the ipconfig program and see that the computer's IP address is 169.254.100.19. What do think the problem is likely to be?

Which OSI model layer is involved with user logon and logoff?

Your company has just expanded from a simple LAN using two switches on one floor of an office building to using another floor. Forty new users will be added to the network. The users on the new floor of the building will deal with finance and payroll and should be logically separated from the other users. What type of network is required and what device should be used?

You are troubleshooting a computing session in which a user can't access another computer named BillsComputer on the network. You open a command prompt and type ping BillsComputer but you get an error. Next, you look in your network documentation to get the address of BillsComputer and try the ping command using the IP address and the command works. Which part of the communication process was not working when you tried the ping BillsComputer command.

A Web browser is an example of which type of network component?

Network client software allows a computer to share its resources by responding to resource requests generated by network servers.

Which of the following is NOT a task performed by a NIC and its driver?

You want a Windows Server 2019 computer to handle network logons and enforce network access and security policies. How should you configure this computer?

You have just finished configuring a Windows 10 computer with a static IP address. When you test to configuration, you find that you can communicate with other computers on the same network, but you can't communicate with computers on other networks or the Internet. What is the most likely problem?

Which of the following is information will you find in a network packet header?

You are configuring a Linux server that will work in a Windows domain environment. You need the Linux server to be compatible with the Windows centralized logon service. What should you install?

You are examining a segment header from a frame you captured with a protocol analyzer. What TCP/IP protocol header are you examining?

You are trying to communicate with a computer on another LAN in your company's internetwork. You don't have any trouble communicating with computers on the same LAN as your computer but you can't reach computers on other LANs. In which layer of the OSI model is the problem most likely found?

You are using a device that reads the physical addresses contained in incoming data that travels along network cables. Based on the physical address that it reads, the device then forwards the data out one of its ports to reach the destination device. What type of device are you using?
