Question 41
What is the purpose of RAID 10?
a) To combine the benefits of mirroring and striping for redundancy and performance
b) To assign IP addresses dynamically
c) To filter network traffic
d) To segment a network into VLANs
Correct Answer: a) To combine the benefits of mirroring and striping for redundancy and performance
Explanation: RAID 10 (also known as RAID 1+0) combines the benefits of RAID 1 (mirroring) and RAID 0 (striping), offering both redundancy and improved performance.
Question 42
What is the role of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) in a network?
a) To resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses
b) To assign IP addresses dynamically
c) To filter network traffic
d) To encrypt data for secure transmission
Correct Answer: a) To resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses
Explanation: ARP maps an IP address to its corresponding MAC address, allowing devices on the same network to communicate directly.
Question 43
What is the function of a DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions)?
a) To encrypt DNS requests
b) To provide digital signatures for authenticating DNS responses
c) To assign IP addresses dynamically
d) To route traffic between different networks
Correct Answer: b) To provide digital signatures for authenticating DNS responses
Explanation: DNSSEC adds a layer of security to DNS by providing digital signatures, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of DNS data.
Question 44
What does the acronym FTP stand for?
a) Fast Transmission Protocol
b) Fiber Transfer Protocol
c) File Transfer Protocol
d) Frame Transmission Process
Correct Answer: c) File Transfer Protocol
Explanation: FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol used for transferring files between computers, commonly used for uploading and downloading data.
Question 45
What is a rogue access point in a wireless network?
a) A wireless device that assigns IP addresses dynamically
b) An unauthorized wireless access point installed without permission
c) A wireless device that amplifies network signals
d) A device used to route traffic between VLANs
Correct Answer: b) An unauthorized wireless access point installed without permission
Explanation: A rogue access point is an unauthorized wireless access point installed on a network, posing a security risk by providing unauthorized access to the network.
Question 46
What does the acronym WPA2 stand for in wireless security?
a) Wireless Protocol Authentication
b) Wi-Fi Protected Access 2
c) Wireless Private Access 2
d) Wide Area Protocol Authentication
Correct Answer: b) Wi-Fi Protected Access 2
Explanation: WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is a security protocol developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance, providing strong encryption for securing wireless networks.
Question 47
What is the purpose of a server cluster in a network?
a) To assign dynamic IP addresses
b) To provide redundancy and load balancing for critical network services
c) To filter network traffic based on security policies
d) To encrypt data for secure transmission
Correct Answer: b) To provide redundancy and load balancing for critical network services
Explanation: A server cluster ensures high availability of services by distributing the load among multiple servers and providing failover in case of a server failure.
Question 48
What type of protocol is SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)?
a) A file transfer protocol
b) A network management protocol
c) A routing protocol
d) A wireless communication protocol
Correct Answer: b) A network management protocol
Explanation: SNMP is a protocol used to monitor and manage network devices, such as routers, switches, and servers, from a central management system.
Question 49
What does the term “latency” refer to in networking?
a) The loss of data packets during transmission
b) The delay in data transmission from source to destination
c) The amplification of network signals
d) The encryption of data for secure communication
Correct Answer: b) The delay in data transmission from source to destination
Explanation: Latency refers to the time delay between when data is sent from its source and when it is received at its destination, often measured in milliseconds.
Question 50
What is the role of a DHCP server in a network?
a) To assign dynamic IP addresses to devices
b) To filter network traffic based on security rules
c) To encrypt data transmissions
d) To route data between networks
Correct Answer: a) To assign dynamic IP addresses to devices
Explanation: A DHCP server dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network, ensuring that each device has a unique address for communication.
