A technician is troubleshooting a connectivity issue on a network computer. The technician runs ipconfig in a command prompt and receives the following IP address: 169.254.0.6.
Which of the following is most likely the type of IP address being assigned?

  1. DHCP reservation assignment
  2. Dynamic assignment
  3. Self assignment
  4. Static assignment

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

An IP in the 169.254.x.x range is automatically chosen by the host when it cannot contact a DHCP server, indicating a self-assigned (APIPA) address.



Which of the following storage options would a technician most likely recommend to have large amounts of affordable capacity without concern for read times on a desktop computer?

  1. 750GB NVMe M.2 SSD
  2. 2x1TB PCIe SSD in RAID 1
  3. 2TB SATA 3.5 5,400rpm HDD
  4. 4TB SAS2.5 15,000rpm HDD

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

For bulk, cost-effective storage where performance isn't critical, a high-capacity, low-speed SATA HDD offers the best price per gigabyte. A 2 TB, 5,400 RPM drive gives ample space affordably, and slower read times aren't an issue for secondary or archival desktop storage.



Which of the following utilizes specialized ports on a laptop to expand the local connection options?

  1. NFC adapter
  2. Docking station
  3. Port replicator
  4. USB dongle

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A docking station connects via a proprietary expansion port (or USB-C/Thunderbolt port with special docking support) on a laptop to provide additional video outputs, USB ports, network jacks, and power, extending the laptop's connectivity while often also charging it.



Which of the following tools would a technician use to connect wires to an RJ45 connector?

  1. Crimper
  2. Cable stripper
  3. Punchdown
  4. Loopback plug

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A crimper is used to press the RJ45 connector's pins into the individual Ethernet wires and secure the connector onto the cable.



A technician is working on a RAID 1 array that is apparently degraded. The technician verifies the RAM and power are both operating as expected.
Which of the following can the technician do to further isolate the issue?

  1. Perform individual drive diagnostics.
  2. Run the chkdsk /f command.
  3. Rebuild the RAID array.
  4. Reconfigure the array as RAID 0.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Running diagnostics on each mirrored disk lets you identify which drive has developed bad sectors or electronics faults, isolating the failing disk before triggering a rebuild or replacement.



A company wants its RAID array set up so that it could lose multiple drives and still have redundancy.
Which of the following configurations should the company choose?

  1. RAID 0
  2. RAID 1
  3. RAID 5
  4. RAID 6

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

RAID 6 implements dual parity across the array, allowing any two drives to fail simultaneously without data loss, providing higher fault tolerance than RAID 5.



A user prints a spreadsheet in duplex mode. The spreadsheet is difficult to read because some of the columns spill onto the second side of the page.
Which of the following should the user do to prevent the issue but still print on both sides of the page?

  1. Turn off duplex printing.
  2. Try a smaller font size in the spreadsheet.
  3. Change the page orientation.
  4. Use a different print driver.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Switching from portrait to landscape gives you more horizontal space, allowing all columns to fit on each page while still printing on both sides in duplex mode.



Which of the following cable types can be used to transfer data and video?

  1. USB-C
  2. HDMI
  3. DisplayPort
  4. VGA

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

USB-C cables support USB data transfers and, when the host and cable support Alternate Mode, can carry video signals (such as DisplayPort or HDMI over USB-C), making them capable of handling both data and video on a single connector.
