Study Test Questions
1.
You install File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft
Networks. You share a folder and leave the password option blank. Who can gain
access to the folder?
A. Anyone who can gain access to your network and has a Microsoft redirector
such as the
Client for Microsoft Networks installed.
B. Windows 98 will not allow a blank password in this field.
C. Anyone with Internet Explorer installed.
D. Only users that are members of the same workgroup as you.
E. No one can gain access until a password is entered.
Some protocols are considered to be technically non-routable.
Which of the
following statements best describes the most common reason why
a protocol
would be considered non-routable?
A.
It does not contain the appropriate Data Link layer
information required
by routers.
B.
It uses advanced Transport layer services to move
across the Internet
and avoids the routing overhead required by the more primitive
networking
protocols.
C.
It defines Physical layer network addresses for
internal routing.
D.
It does not specify the Network layer addresses
required by routers.
Answer: D - Non-routable protocols do not contain
Network layer
information, which means that routers cannot interpret their
addresses.
Routers are not concerned with Data Link layer information. Transport layer protocols require the
services of a
routing protocol to move data across an internetwork. Addresses are not definable at the Physical layer
because data is
in the form of a raw bit stream.
Protocols can be
categorized as follows:
>
Connection Oriented Protocol - A protocol that relies on
establishment of a connection between two computers. Connection oriented
protocols are considered to be reliable protocols since there is an
integrity check to be sure the transmitted data was received.
>
Connectionless Protocol - Do not rely on a connection, therefore
Considered to be an unreliable.
>
Routable Protocol - The protocol can be sent through a network
router.
>
Non-routable Protocol - Cannot be sent through a network router.
You are the LAN administrator for your company. You
have couple Windows 2000 Professional clients that dial in via PPP to the
company network’s RAS server. You want the remote clients to be assigned dynamic
IP addresses. You reserve a pool of class B addresses for these clients. Upon
connecting, you find that the Windows 2000 computers are using a subnet mask of
all 255s. What should you do?
A. Run ipconfig with the /release and /renew switch on the client
B. Run ipconfig with the /renew_all switch on the client
C. Run winipcfg on the client
D. Increase the lease time for this address pool
E. Reconfigure the DHCP scope options
F. Do nothing. This is normal
G. None of the choices.
Answer: F - The subnet mask corresponds to
the standard mask associated with the standard class type of the given IP
address. Note that Windows 2000 clients use a subnet mask of
255.255.255.255 on PPP links. References: |

6.
You are configuring a
router. According to the
manual, you will need a
transceiver to connect to the LAN ports of the router.
What kind of physical interface does the router have?
A. MSAU
B. RJ-11
C. AUI
D. BNC
Answer: C - An AUI port is typically used to connect an external transceiver to
a device such as a router. An MSAU is a type of network device used on
Token
Ring networks. RJ-11 is a connector type associated with telephone cable. BNC is
a type of network connector used on coaxial networks. References: |

7.
Which of the following are connectionless
protocols? (Choose the three best answers.)
You are setting up a new Windows 98
workstation on your network, and your DHCP server provides all
of the normal TCP/IP configuration information. What must you
do to configure the IP address on the workstation after you add
the TCP/IP protocol?
A.
The DHCP
option is enabled automatically, and the server will
auto-configure everything.
B.
Find
out what the subnet mask on your network is, and add this
information only.
C.
Manually enter
an IP address that is not in use on the network.
D.
Put the address of the router in the default
gateway, and put all 0s in the IP field.
E.
Use IPCONFIG with an inverted Subnet Mask to
auto assign the address.
Answer: A - The Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol for automating the
configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can be used to
automatically assign IP addresses, to deliver TCP/IP stack
configuration parameters such as the subnet mask and default
router, and to provide other configuration information such as
the addresses for printer, time and news servers.

Which of the following is considered a Network
Attached Storage device?
A. A 60 GB DAT tape drive attached to the Network Server
B. A file server with special software that is at a separate location from the
departmental file server
C. In a Windows NT environment, it would be the Backup Domain Controller
D. A high speed specialized sub-network attached to the enterprise
Answer: B - Since the file server would have it's own IP address, and it is
attached at a separate location from the department it serves and has the
correct software installed, it does qualify as a NAS. While DAT tape drives are
traditional backup devices, they are not Network Attached Storage devices
because they do not have a separate IP address Although the BDC does have a
separate IP address and has hard disk storage capabilities, it does not have the
special software required by a NAS device. "A high speed specialized sub-network
attached to the enterprise" is actually the definition of a Storage Area Network
(SAN) rather than a NAS.

Credit card size, designed for notebooks,
self-configuring, and non-OS dependent describes which PC bus architecture?
A. PCI
B. ISA
C. EISA
D. PCMCIA
E. VL-BUS
Answer: D - PCMCIA cards are also known as PC Cards. Designed for notebooks,
these credit-card-size cards are self-configuring and non-operating system
dependent.

A broadcast message is an example of which dialog control
method?
A. Half duplex
B. Baseband
C. Broadband
D. Simplex
E. Full duplex
Answer: D - Refers to
transmission in only one direction. Note the difference between simplex and
half-duplex. Half-duplex refers to two-way communications where only one party
can transmit at a time. Simplex refers to one-way communications where one party
is the transmitter and the other is the receiver. An example of simplex
communications is a simple radio, which you can receive data from stations but
can't transmit data. Broadband Transmission is a type of data transmission
in which a single medium (wire) can carry several channels at once. Cable TV,
for example, uses broadband transmission. In contrast, baseband transmission
allows only one signal at a time. Most communications between computers,
including the majority of local-area networks, use baseband communications.

Which of the following are used to resolve Windows
NetBIOS names to IP addresses? (Choose all that apply)
A. DNS
B. WINS
C. LMhosts file
D. Hosts file
Answer: B,C - WINS (Windows Internet Naming
Service) and LMhosts files are used to resolve Windows NetBIOS names to IP
addresses. WINS is dynamic while an LMhosts file is a static method. DNS (Domain
Name Service) is used to resolve fully qualified domain names to IP addresses .
In the event that a DNS server is unavailable, a hosts file can be used to store
these address mappings. Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), part of the
Microsoft Windows NT and 2000 Servers, manages the association of workstation
names and locations with Internet Protocol addresses (IP addresses) without the
user or an administrator having to be involved in each configuration change.
WINS automatically creates a computer name-IP address mapping entry in a table,
ensuring that the name is unique and not a duplicate of someone else's computer
name. When a computer is moved to another geographic location, the subnet part
of the IP address is likely to change. Using WINS, the new subnet information
will be updated automatically in the WINS table. WINS complements the NT
Server's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which negotiates an IP
address for any computer (such as your workstation) when it is first defined to
the network. If you're a computer user on a network connected to a Windows
NT/2000 Server, you may find WINS mentioned in some of your network-related
programs or system messages. References: |
