An IP scanner scans a network to identify all active devices and their IP addresses.

QSFP+ (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable) transceivers support data rates up to 40 Gbps and provide high-density connections.

A community cloud deployment model involves multiple organizations sharing resources and infrastructure to achieve common goals.

Locking cabinets enhance physical security in a data center by preventing unauthorized access to servers and other critical equipment, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access these resources.

Identifying the problem involves documenting the user’s issue and collecting relevant information.

In a bus topology, all devices share a single communication line, leading to frequent network collisions and slow performance as more devices are added.

A smartjack is used in leased line connections to provide line status and diagnostics, helping technicians identify and troubleshoot connectivity issues with the service provider’s line.

A posture assessment evaluates the overall security posture of an organization, including policies and procedures.

Switching loops are caused by redundant paths creating loops in a network, leading to broadcast storms.

A honeypot is used to lure attackers and analyze their behavior.

The primary goal of a data loss prevention (DLP) policy is to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, use, or loss by implementing controls and monitoring systems.

802.11a operates at a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps and uses the 5 GHz frequency band, providing less interference and higher data rates compared to 2.4 GHz standards.

A Wide Area Network (WAN) is suitable for connecting offices located in different countries, providing a network that spans large geographical areas.

IEEE 802.1Q is the standard used for VLAN tagging to manage multiple VLANs on a switch, allowing for better segmentation and management of network traffic.

VDI allows users to access their desktop environment from any device with internet access, providing flexibility and centralized management.

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems detect and respond to network threats in real-time.

The subnet mask 255.255.255.224 (or /27) supports up to 30 usable IP addresses. It provides 32 addresses in total, with 2 addresses reserved for network and broadcast addresses.

A cable tester with PoE functionality can verify that an Ethernet cable is providing both data and power to a device.

The Network layer is responsible for packet forwarding and routing, determining the best path for data to travel across a network.

Data VLANs allow grouping of devices on the same broadcast domain, enhancing network segmentation and management by isolating traffic within specific groups.

Cat 6a cabling supports 10 Gbps speeds for distances up to 100 meters, making it ideal for longer-range high-speed connections.

The primary function of the core layer in a three-tiered network architecture is to provide fast and reliable forwarding of network traffic between distribution layers.

The access/edge layer is responsible for connecting end-user devices to the network, providing the first point of access.

Interface status involves checking if network interfaces are up and running.
