- Coaxial
- Fiber optic
- HDMI
- Twisted pair
For connecting servers to a SAN, fiber optic cables are often used due to their high-speed data transfer capabilities.
In SNMP, what term is used to describe a set of variables on the managed device that store information about the device?
- MIB
- OID
- SNMPSET
- TRAP
MIB (Management Information Base) is the term used to describe a set of variables on the managed device that store information about the device in SNMP.
The integration of DHCP Snooping with _________ helps in mitigating ARP poisoning attacks on a network.
- Dynamic ARP Inspection
- IP Source Guard
- Port Security
- VLAN ACLs
Integrating DHCP Snooping with Dynamic ARP Inspection helps mitigate ARP poisoning attacks by validating ARP packets.
In QoS, what is the term used for the mechanism that limits the bandwidth used by certain types of traffic?
- Shaping
- Policing
- Queuing
- Dropping
Bandwidth shaping is the mechanism used in QoS to limit the bandwidth used by certain types of traffic.
Which routing protocol supports automatic summarization at classful network boundaries?
- BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)
- EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol)
- OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
- RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
RIP supports automatic summarization at classful network boundaries, aggregating routes into a summarized form.
How does switch stacking impact the scalability of a network infrastructure?
- Decreases Scalability
- Depends on the Network Topology
- Increases Scalability
- No Impact on Scalability
Switch stacking increases scalability by allowing multiple physical switches to be managed as a single entity, simplifying network administration and expanding port density.
What is the purpose of using an extended access list in network configuration?
- To filter traffic based on source and destination IP addresses
- To control access to network resources with more granularity
- To provide basic packet filtering
- To prioritize network traffic based on applications
An extended access list allows for more granular control over network traffic, specifying detailed conditions for filtering.
