   • Reviewing baselines
   • Vulnerability scanning
   • Patch management
   • Log archiving

10. A network technician receives a report that the company’s intranet web server is not responding. The technician verifies successful connectivity to the server via the ping and tracert commands. The technician also verifies the routers and switches are online and operational, and then runs Telnet to port 80 and receives a response. Which of the following troubleshooting steps should the technician perform NEXT?

    • Establish a plan to reset the company router.
    • Escalate the issue to the server administrator.
    • Duplicate the issue and continue testing.
    • Report that an issue was not identified.

11. Which of the following ports are used for electronic mail protocols? (Choose three.)

    • 123
    • 143
    • 161
    • 389
    • 443

12. A technician needs to connect two routers using copper cables. Which of the following cables would utilize both the TIA/EIA 568a and TIA/EIA 568b standards?

    • Cat5 crossover
    • Cat5e straight-through
    • Cat5e rollover
    • Cat6 console
    • Cat6a straight-through

13. The engineering department wants to bring a legacy computer online to test a failed component. When patching the device into the switch, there are no link lights or connectivity. The legacy computer can ping its loopback address successfully. Another device can connect to that same port without issues. Which of the following should the network technician check NEXT? (Choose two.)

    • Speed setting on the switch
    • Duplex requirements
    • Firmware version
    • Protocols the legacy computer supports
    • Network card drivers

14. A user in the marketing department reports the email server is down. The user has not received email for more than 24 hours. Which of the following should the network technician do to investigate this issue?

    • Question other users in the marketing department to see if they are also having connectivity issues.
    • Reboot the email server and verify connectivity once it is up again.
    • Check the router and firewall to see if ACLs or firmware have changed in the last 24 hours.
    • Check for network connectivity on the user’s PC and reinstall the email client.

15. A network technician has provisioned a new Linux instance in a public cloud provider’s IaaS environment. The technician did not install a graphical user interface. The technician wants to connect to the server’s public IP address securely to start a console session. Which of the following remote access methods should the technician use?

18. A technician is trying to identify the cause of an issue several wireless users are experiencing at an office. The office is in a square-shaped building, with four 802.11b WAPs with omnidirectional antennas located in the four corners of the building. Users near the center of the building report sporadic issues connecting to resources. The technician checks the signal strength in the middle of the building and determines it is adequate. Which of the following is causing the reported issue?

    • The antenna types are incorrect, and unidirectional should be used.
    • MAC filtering has not been updated.
    • There is channel overlap of the access points.
    • The power levels are set too low on the WAPs.

19. A network technician is performing an initial configuration of a new network switch. Per company policy, the only authorized manner for remotely administering the switch is through a command line. Which of the following protocols should the technician disable to adhere to the company policy?
