- 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.

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.
______ routing is preferred in environments where network traffic patterns are predictable and do not change often.
- Default
- Dynamic
- Hybrid
- Static
Static routing is preferred in environments where network traffic patterns are predictable and do not change often.
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.
The process of ________ involves assigning different priority levels to various types of network traffic in QoS.
- Shaping
- Marking
- Scheduling
- Queuing
In Quality of Service (QoS), the process of marking involves assigning different priority levels to various types of network traffic.
Which redundancy protocol provides load balancing over multiple routers along with redundancy?
- HSRP
- VRRP
- GLBP
- OSPF
Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) provides load balancing over multiple routers along with redundancy.
