Q1. Your manager has asked you to configure static IPv4 addresses for two computers, London and Manchester, on an isolated private wired subnet. You configure London with the IPv4 address 172.14.10. 110 and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. You configure Manchester with the IPv4 address 172.14.10. 30 and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. You enter ping 172.14.10. 110 on London, but the command times out. Similarly, entering ping 172.14.10. 30 on London fails to locate the Manchester computer's IPv4 address. What is the likely reason for this lack of connectivity?

DNS service is not available on the network.
The computers should have different subnet masks but the same IP.
You have not specified a default gateway.
You need to permit traffic through the firewalls of both computers.

Answer:
You need to permit traffic through the firewalls of both computers.

Comments:
By default windows firewall blocks the ping command

Q2. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the next-generation Internet Protocol version designated as the successor to IPv4, the first implementation used in the Internet that is still in dominant use currently. It is an Internet Layer protocol for packet-switched internetworks. There are several types of IPv6 address. Which one of them will ensure that packets addressed to this type of address are delivered to the nearest interface identified by the address (the nearest interface is the closest in terms of routing distance, or number of hops)?

Anycast
Multicast
Unicast
All of these

Answer:
Anycast

Q3. IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This expansion provides flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic and eliminates the primary need for network address translation (NAT). Do you know how many more bits there are in an IPv4 address compared to an IPv6 address?

6 times more
8 times more
Twice as many
4 times more

Answer:
4 times more

Comments:
IPv4 addresses are 32 bit, IPv6 addresses are 128 bit

Q4. You have set up a new wireless network for one of your prestigious clients. The director wants to ensure that only certain designated wireless laptops can connect to the new network to prevent misuse. What do you need to do?

Use MAC address control
Use IPv4 address control
Use WEP
Use WPA

Answer:
Use MAC address control

Comments:
Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to most network adapters or network interface cards (NICs) by the manufacturer for identification, and used in the Media Access Control protocol sub-layer. If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address usually encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number. It may also be known as an Ethernet Hardware Address (EHA), hardware address, adapter address, or physical address

Q5. Your friend has set up a wireless network at his home. He found it easy to set up the third party WAP from the local PC shop. However, his next door neighbour just informed him that she can access his network and do all her online shopping for free. Since your friend does not really like his neighbour he wants to stop this happening. What should he do?

Change the security settings of his WAP
Implement 802.11i
Change the SSID for the WAP
Enable Windows Firewall

Answer:
Change the security settings of his WAP

Comments:
Changing the security settings is the best idea. He could set a password to protect the WAP being freely accessible.

Q6. You are responsible for managing company laptops that have Windows 8 installed at a small library. You want to prevent staff from uploading files using FTP to FTP sites but allow them to send outbound email messages using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Which of the following rules would you configure to achieve this?

Inbound rules
Outbound rules
Isolation rules
Authentication exemption rules

Answer:
Outbound rules

Comments:
By default outbound filtering is disabled. Because all outbound network traffic is permitted, outbound rules are typically used to block traffic that is not wanted on the network. You would create a new rule to block staff uploading files via FTP.

Q7. Windows PowerShell is an extensible automation engine from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language. Which of the following Windows PowerShell commands can you issue on a client running Windows 8 named MyComputer to get a list of processes, including CPU and memory usage on a client named YourComputer?

icm MyComputer {Get-Process}
icm YourComputer {Get-Process}
winrs -r: YourComputer Get-Process
winrs -r: YourComputer Get-Process

Answer:
icm YourComputer {Get-Process}

Comments:
The Windows PowerShell command icm YourComputer {Get-Process} opens a remote Windows PowerShell session to computer YourComputer and runs the Get-Process cmdlet. This cmdlet returns process information for you.

Q8. You are performing IT support for one of your small clients. This client has a single colour laser printer. The printer is shared off the receptionists client running Windows 8. The receptionist is not a member of the local Administrators group. Since the receptionist does the majority of the printing, they would like her to reorder jobs in the print queue and delete them if necessary. However, the receptionist should not be able to reconfigure printer permissions. Which of the following should you do to accomplish this?

Give the receptionist the Print permission
Give the receptionist the Manage Documents permission
Add the receptionist account to the Power Users group
Give the receptionist the Manage This Printer permission

Answer:
Give the receptionist the Manage Documents permission

Comments:
The user can pause, resume, restart, cancel, and rearrange the order of documents submitted by all other users. The user cannot, however, send documents to the printer or control the status of the printer. By default, the Manage Documents permission is assigned to members of the Creator Owner group.
