  1. 22
  2. 80
  3. 443
  4. 587

Disabling port 80 (HTTP) ensures that all traffic is forced through encrypted HTTPS on port 443.



Which of the following is the next step to take after successfully testing a root cause theory?

  1. Determine resolution steps.
  2. Duplicate the problem in a lab.
  3. Present the theory for approval.

A network administrator is configuring a new switch and wants to ensure that only assigned devices can connect to the switch.
Which of the following should the administrator do?

  1. Configure ACLs.
  2. Implement a captive portal.
  3. Enable port security.
  4. Disable unnecessary services.

A customer needs six usable IP addresses.
Which of the following best meets this requirement?

  1. 255.255.255.128
  2. 255.255.255.192
  3. 255.255.255.224
  4. 255.255.255.240

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A subnet with six usable addresses requires a /29, which corresponds to 255.255.255.248.
However, among the options, the smallest mask that still exceeds the requirement is /28 = 255.255.255.240, providing 14 usable hosts.



A user reports having intermittent connectivity issues to the company network. The network configuration for the user reveals the following:

IP address: 192.168.1.10
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.254

The network switch shows the following ARP table:



Which of the following is the most likely cause of the user's connection issues?

  1. A port with incorrect VLAN assigned
  2. A switch with spanning tree conflict
  3. Another PC with manually configured IP
  4. A router with overlapping route tables

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Two different MAC addresses mapping to the same IP indicates an IP conflict, usually caused by another device configured with a static IP.
