  1. How will a failure of a router on a network with two subnets affect communication?

    A. The entire network will be down.
    B. The network will remain fully operational.
    C. Communication between subnets will be affected.
    D. All workstations connected to the router will be affected.
    • Answer: C
    • A router connects two subnets together and
    • is responsible for forwarding traffic between
    • the subnets. Thus, if the router fails communication between the subnets will be affected.
  2. You work as a network administrator at Acme. Acme has 100
    Windows 98 clients, 125 Windows XP clients, and one Windows 2000 server.
    DHCP is not use on the network. A second server is added to the network. You configure
    the new server to provide WINS and remove WINS from the existing server. What
    must you do next to ensure the network remains fully operational?

    A. Update the LMHOSTS file on each client.
    B. Update each Windows 98 client with the WINS server
    address.
    C. Update the DNS server with the host name and IP
    address of the WINS server.
    D. Do nothing. The network is fully operational.
    • Answer: B
    • WINS is responsible for NetBIOS name to IP address
    • resolution for Windows 9x computers. We have changed the WINS server; therefore
    • the Windows 98 clients need to be updated with the address of the new WINS server.
  3. You cannot reach a Web site on the Acme intranet but
    you can ping the Web server by host name. What is the probable cause of
    the problem?

    A. HTTP on the workstation is down.
    B. The DHCP server is down.
    C. The DNS server is down.
    D. Web Server is down
    Answer: A

    • Web browsers use HTTP to access web sites. If HTTP is
    • down or port 80, which is used for HTTP traffic, is blocked, you won't be able to
    • access the intranet Web site.
  4. You work as the network administrator at Acme. You are
    experiencing

    problems accessing Acme file server via remote access.
    You receive a time

    out when you ping the file server name but you can
    ping the file server by IP

    address. What is the probable cause of this problem?

    A. The DHCP server is down.

    B. The File server is down.

    C. The DNS server is down.

    D. The Remote Access server is down.
    Answer: C



    • In this case you can ping the IP address but not the
    • host name. Therefore there is a

    • problem with host name to IP address resolution. DNS
    • is responsible for host name to IP

    • address resolution and is the most probable cause of
    • the problem.
  5. 79) What is the
    purpose of the arp -s command?

    listing from the local ARP table

    D. It allows you to add a static IP address to MAC
    address mapping in the local ARP

    table.
    Answer: D



    • arp -s allows you to add a static IP address to MAC
    • address mapping in the local ARP

    • table. This entry will remain in the ARP table until
    • the local computer is rebooted.
  6. Which of the following commands can you use to verify the IP
    configuration of a Microsoft Windows 98 workstation?

    • and MAC address for the local Windows 98
    • workstation.

    • of one another but each drive is attached
    • to its own disk controller.
