Comptia Network Plus Certification Practice Exam 1

Question 1

At which layer of the OSI model is a PDU referred to as a frame?
Transport
Session
Data Link
Physical

Answer

A PDU begins its evolution at the Physical layer (Layer 1) where it is a series of bits. At the Data Link layer (Layer 2), it becomes a frame. At the Network layer (Layer 3), it becomes a packet. At the Transport layer (Layer 4), it is a segment and is passed to the upper layers. It is important to be able to correlate the terms and layers when discussing PDUs. For example, when the term “deep packet analysis” is used, you should know that you are talking about a device operating at the Network layer (Layer 3). So, the correct choice is Data Link.
CompTIA Network+ N10-007 exam objectives addressed by question 1
Main exam objective: 1.0 Networking Concepts
Exam sub-objective: 1.5 Compare and contrast the characteristics of network topologies, types and technologies.

Question 2

A SAN 10+ Gb Ethernet creates overhead on both the CPU and OS. Which of the choices provides the highest efficiency along with low overhead and latency?
iSCSI
InfiniBand
Fibre Channel
10GigE

Answer

While Ethernet-based standards and protocols are extremely fast, the InfiniBand protocols reduce the workload on server OSs and hardware. This results in faster data transfers with considerably lower latencies. The correct choice is therefore InfiniBand.
CompTIA Network+ N10-007 exam objectives addressed by question 2
Main exam objective: 2.0 Infrastructure
Exam sub-objective: 2.4 Explain the purposes of virtualization and network storage technologies.

Question 3

The acronym MTTR is used in your documentation. How would you prepare to reduce this factor?
Predict the occurrence
Use MTBF and have replacements on hand
Create a solid response policy
Reduce the stresses on the components

Answer

MTTR is the Mean Time To Repair. This indicates a failure with a calculated replacement timeline. The best way to reduce this time is to have the parts on hand. If you know that a server drive running 24/7 will fail within a specified timeframe, have one on hand. Having said this, the chances are high that you will upgrade most devices before they fail. The correct choice is therefore “Use MTBF and have replacements on hand”.
CompTIA Network+ N10-007 exam objectives addressed by question 3
Main exam objective: 3.0 Network Operations
Exam sub-objective: 3.2 Compare and contrast business continuity and disaster recovery concepts.

Question 4

There are rumors of widespread layoffs in a company. A programmer that feels at risk modifies his programming to execute malicious device encryption code if he is unemployed at the end of the month. The infected device(s) will display instructions requiring payment to regain control of the device(s). How would you categorize this action? (Choose two)
Logic bomb
Trojan horse
Back door
Bot
Ransomware

Answer

Logic bombs are classic demonstrations of time-dependent malware. The code that executes encrypts the device and demands payment, classifying it as ransomware. The correct choices are Logic bomb and Ransomware .
CompTIA Network+ N10-007 exam objectives addressed by question 4
Main exam objective: 4.0 Network Security
Exam sub-objective: 4.4 Summarize common networking attacks.

Question 5

You have concluded that two hosts have duplicate IP addresses on your network. How could this happen?
They are using static IP addresses
They are using the wrong gateway
DHCP leases are too long
None of these

Answer:

In this case, you would check the IP addresses and make sure they are not statically assigned. If one host must use a static address, reserve it in the DHCP scope and assign the second host to use DHCP. The correct choice is “They are using static IP addresses”.

Q1. Which of the following is Class C IP address? 
A. 10.10.14.118

B. 135.23.112.57

C. 191.200.199.199

D. 204.67.118.54
  Correct Answer: D

Explanation:IP addresses are written using decimal numbers separated by decimal points. This is called dotted decimal notation of expressing IP addresses.

The different classes of IP addresses is as below:

Class Format           Leading Bits             Network address                 Range Max.               # of networks

A                            N.H.H.H                     0                                       0 - 126                          127

B                            N.N.H.H                     10                                    128 - 191                      16,384

C                            N.N.N.H                     110                                   192 - 223                   2,097,152

Network address of all zeros means "This network or segment".

Network address of all 1s means " all networks", same as hexadecimal of all Fs.

Network number 127 is reserved for loopback tests.

Host(Node) address of all zeros mean "This Host (Node)".

Host (Node) address of all 1s mean "all Hosts (Nodes) " on the specified network.

Q2. Please see the Diagram, and identify which LAN technology is being used?
A. Ethernet

B. Token Ring

C. Mesh

D. ATM
  Correct Answer: B

Explanation:Ring In and Ring Out connectors are used in Token Ring, for connecting to other MSAUs (Multi-Station Access Units). The cable connecting Ring In and Ring Out is called "Patch cable".

Q3. A Windows 95 user complains that she cannot connect to any other computers on her local subnet even when using the IP address to communicate. However, she can ping 127.0.0.1 and receive a reply. Other users on her subnet do not report having any trouble. All client computers on the network are WINS-enabled. What is the most probable cause of the problem?
A. The TCP/IP stack is not installed properly

B. The subnet mask is not correct, check whether the subnet mask is configured correctly.

C. The default gateway is not configured properly.

D. The computer is not configured to use LMHOSTS
  Correct Answer: B

Explanation:The most likely cause is that the subnet mask is not configured properly. If the TCP/IP stack is not installed properly, you will not be able to ping the local host (127.0.0.1). Also, even if the default gateway is wrongly configured, you will at least be able to ping the computers on the local subnet.

Q4. You have set up a server that connects to an Internet services provider ( ISP) over ISDN line. How should the default gateway address be configured so that windows 95 users on the local network can access the Internet through the RAS server. The RAS server is located on the same subnet as that of the WIN95 machines.
A. The default Gateway address on WINS95 must specify the IP address of the remote ISP

B. The default Gateway on WN95 must specify the IP address of the RAS server on the local network.

C. The HOSTS file in WIN95 machines must be configured with the host name of the RAS Server.

D. The HOSTS file in WIN 95 machines must be configured with the host name of the ISP
  Correct Answer: B

Explanation:The default Gateway address on WIN95 machines must specify the IP address of the RAS server.

Q5. Which of the following is the standard adopted for Ethernet CSMA/CD by IEEE Committee?
A. 802.2

B. 802.1d

C. 802.3

D. 802.5
  Correct Answer: C

Explanation:The IEEE protocols that map to the physical layer are:

Ethernet: IEEE 802.3

Token Passing Bus: 802.4

TokenRing: 802.5

Q6. Disk Striping with Parity corresponds to which RAID level?
A. RAID 0

B. RAID 1

C. RAID 3

D. RAID 5
  Correct Answer: D

Explanation:RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks.

Most widely used RAID levels are:

RAID 0: Disk Striping

RAID 1: Disk Mirroring

RAID 5: Disk Striping with Parity

WIndows NT supports RAID levels 0,1, and 5.

Q7. Which of the following media types is most susceptible to EMI?
A. Fiber Optic

B. STP

C. Co-axial

D. UTP
  Correct Answer: D

Explanation:UTP stands for Un-shielded Twisted Pair cabling. STP for Shielded Twisted Pair cabling. UTP cabling is most susceptible for EMI. Fiber Optic is least susceptible.

Q8. Which type of connector does a 10BaseT Ethernet cable use?
A. BNC
B. RJ-45
C. RJ-11

D. MSAU
  Correct Answer: B

Explanation:10BaseT Ethernet uses RJ-45 connectors at the ends of the UTP cable.

10Base2 Ethernet uses BNC connectors at the ends of the Thinnet (Coax) cable.

Q9. Which of the following is suitable for mission critical and time sensitive applications?
A. 10BaseT

B. 10Base2
