With a VDI server, two or more operating systems can be simultaneously running on a single device. This requires a high amount of RAM and CPU cores. A CAx workstation is used to design products or control a manufacturing process. A thick client is a standard computer that performs all processing locally. A thin client is a computer that will rely on remote servers for all data processing.

True or False?

Thin clients require a network connection to remote servers to perform data processing.
- true
- false
  
  Explanation:
  
  Thin clients are typically low-end computers that require network access to a server for data processing and storage.

Which IPv6 address represents the most compressed form of the IPv6 address 2001:0db8:cafe:0100:0f0d:0000:0000:00AA/96

2001:0db8:cafe:0100:0f0d::00AA/96
2001:db8:cafe:1:f0d::AA/96
2001:db8:cafe:100:f0d::AA/96

2001:0db8:cafe:0100:0f0d::AA/96

Explanation:

There are two rules that exist to help in the reduction of the number of digits within an IPv6 address:
Rule 1 is used to remove any leading 0s. After applying rule 1 to 2001:0db8:cafe:0100:0f0d:0000:0000:00AA/96, we calculate the outcome as 2001:db8:cafe:100:f0d:0:0:AA/96

Rule 2 is used to replace any group of consecutive zeros once throughout the IPv6 address. After applying rule 2 to 2001:db8:cafe:100:f0d:0:0:AA/96, we calculate the outcome as 2001:db8:cafe:100:f0d::AA/96

What is the full decompressed form of the IPv6 address 2001:420:59:0:1::a/64?

2001:420:59:0:1:0:0:a
2001:0420:0059:0000:0001:0000:0000:000a
2001:4200:5900:0000:1000:0000:0000:a000
2001:4200:5900:0:1:0:0:a000
2001:0420:0059:0000:0001:000a

2001:0420:0059:0000:0001:0000:000a

Explanation:

To decompress an IPv6 address, the two rules of compression must be reversed. Any 16-bit hextet that has less than four hex characters is missing the leading zeros that were removed. An IPv6 address should have a total of 8 groups of 16-bit hextets, a (::) can be replaced with consecutive zeros that were removed.

A support desk technician is asking a customer a series of questions about a problem connecting to the network. Which step of the troubleshooting process is the technician applying?

Explanation:

Before any solutions can be proposed or tested, the problem must first be identified. This is done by gathering information from the customer by asking questions and clarifying details of the problem.
