You will need to access the company network using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection to obtain client information, transfer files, and send email through the company servers. Your home is over 30 years old. The existing telephone wiring was not run through a conduit, and it seems to be deteriorating.

  85. You are starting work at a new company, and on your first day, you ask about wireless access for your laptop. You are given a Service Set Identifier (SSID) and a WiFi Protected Access II (WPA2) passphrase. Later, in the lunchroom, when you try to connect your laptop to the network, you cannot see the SSID you were given in the list of available networks, although you can see other networks. What should you do next to try to resolve the problem?
    1. Move closer to the Wireless Access Point (WAP).
    2. Move away from the microwave in the lunchroom.
    3. Type in the WPA2 passphrase.
    4. Type the SSID in manually.
  86. You are responsible for a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) that consists of an 802.11n 2x2 access point and laptop computers with a variety of network adapters. Some of the laptops support 802.11n, most support 802.11g, and a few older models have 802.11b adapters. The WLAN is located in a large office building with many other wireless networks, and you are having trouble finding a channel on the 2.4 GHz band that is not congested with traffic. Scanning the 5 GHz band, you find relatively little traffic, so you reconfigure the access point to use a 5 GHz channel. The result is that some of the laptops are able to connect to the network, whereas others are not. What is the most likely reason for the connection failures, and what must you do to enable all the laptops to connect to the wireless network?
    1. The 802.11b standard does not support communication using the 5 GHz band. You must replace the network adapters in those laptops with newer models for them to connect successfully.
    2. The 5 GHz band does not support automatic channel selection. You must configure each laptop to use the same channel as the access point for all the laptops to connect successfully.
    3. The 5 GHz band does not support Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) communications, so the 802.11n laptops are unable to connect to the network. You must replace the access point with an 802.11g unit for all the laptops to connect successfully.
    4. The 802.11g and 802.11b standards do not support communication using the 5 GHz band. You must configure the access point to support 2.4 GHz for all the laptops to connect successfully.
  87. In the Domain Name System (DNS), a zone is a contiguous area of the DNS namespace for which authority is delegated to one or more DNS servers. Which of the following DNS resource record types specifies the IP addresses of the authoritative DNS servers for a particular zone?
    1. PTR
    2. SRV
    3. MX

Using the 5 GHz frequency is not an option for your equipment. What should you do to improve the network's performance?
    1. Configure your equipment to use channel 10.
    2. Configure your equipment to use channel 9.
    3. Configure your equipment to use channel 5.
    4. Configure your equipment to use channel 2.

Which of the following technologies do iSCSI initiators use to locate iSCSI targets on the network?
    1. ICMP
    2. DNS
    3. iDNS
    4. iSNS
  92. You are deploying an 802.11n wireless network for a client that is asking for the best possible security you can provide without deploying additional servers. When setting up the Wireless Access Point (WAP), you disable Service Set Identifier (SSID) broadcasts, select WiFi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Keys (WPA-PSKs), and configure Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering. Which of the following statements about the security of this arrangement is true?
    1. You should not disable SSID broadcasts since this prevents users from connecting to the network.
    2. The configuration is as secure as you can make it with the specified equipment.
    3. You should use WiFi Protected Access II (WPA2) instead of WPA, since it is more resistant to certain types of attacks.
    4. You should not use MAC address filtering since it exposes MAC addresses to possible attacks.
  93. Which of the following connector types are used with fiber-optic cables? (Choose all that apply.)
