6 / 24

A technician is configuring a workstation that needs to access both internal company resources and the Internet. Which of the following DNS settings is MOST appropriate to achieve this?

7 / 24

A remote worker needs a stable connection to the company’s virtual private network (VPN). Which of the following IP addressing configurations ensures the worker’s home office device maintains a consistent connection?

8 / 24

A company’s policy requires that all servers on the network have consistent IP addresses for monitoring and firewall configuration purposes. Which of the following IP addressing methods should be used for the servers?

9 / 24

A network administrator is configuring an IP scheme for a small office. The office needs a network setup that allows for a maximum of 14 devices to connect to the network simultaneously. Which of the following IP addressing schemes is MOST appropriate?

10 / 24

A company has two networks: Network A (192.168.1.0/24) and Network B (192.168.2.0/24). A technician is configuring a computer in Network A that needs access to resources in both networks. What should be set as the computer’s gateway?

11 / 24

A technician is setting up a network printer that requires a static IP address to ensure it is always accessible by the users. The network uses a 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. Which of the following IP addresses is BEST to assign to the printer to avoid conflicts with the DHCP address pool typically configured for the first 100 addresses?

12 / 24

A network administrator needs to ensure a specific department’s computers always receive the same IP range within the company network. Which of the following DHCP configurations should the administrator use?

13 / 24

A growing company frequently adds and removes devices from its network. The IT department wants to minimize the administrative overhead of maintaining DNS records. Which of the following DNS configurations should be implemented?

14 / 24

A network administrator is tasked with creating separate subnets for the sales, marketing, and engineering departments to enhance security and network performance. If the company has an IP block of 192.168.0.0/24, which of the following subnet masks would allow for at least three distinct subnets with the most efficient use of IP addresses?

15 / 24

To improve internet browsing speed, a network administrator decides to configure the DNS settings strategically. Which of the following configurations will MOST likely increase DNS resolution speed?

16 / 24

20 / 24

A technician is tasked with dividing a network into multiple subnets to optimize performance. The network uses an IP address range of 192.168.0.0/24. Which of the following subnet masks would allow creating at least 4 subnets while maximizing the number of hosts per subnet?

21 / 24

In a company with multiple subnets, a technician is configuring a workstation that needs to communicate with devices on its local subnet as well as devices on other subnets. Which of the following should be configured as the workstation’s gateway?
