An IT manager is tasked with upgrading the network cabling in a hospital to support advanced medical imaging equipment and ensure patient data privacy. What cable characteristics should be considered?
- Cat 5e
- Cat 6
- Fiber Optic
- Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)
Fiber optic cables are suitable for high-speed transmission and are ideal for supporting advanced medical imaging equipment while ensuring data privacy in a hospital setting.
The process of combining multiple VLANs into a single broadcast domain over a trunk link is known as VLAN ______.
- Aggregation
- Merging
- Tagging
- Translation
The process of combining multiple VLANs into a single broadcast domain over a trunk link is known as VLAN Aggregation.
PPP's ability to support multiple protocols simultaneously is achieved through the ________ protocol.
- LCP (Link Control Protocol)
- NCP (Network Control Protocol)
- IPCP (Internet Protocol Control Protocol)
- HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control)
PPP's ability to support multiple protocols simultaneously is achieved through the Network Control Protocol (NCP). NCP is responsible for negotiating and configuring different network layer protocols.
In a network with multiple gateways, _______ can be used to allow automatic failover and load balancing.
- HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol)
- OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
- VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol)
- ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)
In a network with multiple gateways, VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) can be used to allow automatic failover and load balancing.
In a network, ________ is used to logically segment a LAN into different broadcast domains.
- Gateway
- Router
- Subnetting
- VLAN
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is used to logically segment a LAN into different broadcast domains.
In a high-availability network design, EtherChannel is often combined with ______ to provide both bandwidth aggregation and failover capabilities.
- BGP
- GLBP
- HSRP
- VRRP
In a high-availability network design, EtherChannel is often combined with HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) to provide both bandwidth aggregation and failover capabilities.
IPSec operates at which layer of the OSI model?
- Application layer
- Transport layer
- Network layer
- Data link layer
IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) operates at the Network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model.
In a LAN setup, ________ cables are typically used to connect different network devices within a building or campus.
- Coaxial
- Ethernet
- Optical
- USB
In a LAN setup, Ethernet cables are typically used to connect different network devices within a building or campus.
In ______ routing, routers use pre-defined metrics and algorithms to choose the best path for data transmission, unlike their counterpart.
- Adaptive
- Convergent
- Dynamic
- Static
In convergent routing, routers use pre-defined metrics and algorithms to choose the best path for data transmission, unlike their counterpart.
In IPv6, what is the equivalent of NAT (Network Address Translation) used in IPv4?
- DHCPv6 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6)
- NPTv6 (Network Prefix Translation for IPv6)
- PAT (Port Address Translation)
- SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration)
In IPv6, Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6) is the equivalent of NAT in IPv4. It allows for the translation of network prefixes.
