2 / 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?

3 / 24

A technician is configuring a client’s computer to join a corporate domain. The client’s computer needs to resolve local network resources without fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). Which of the following should the technician configure?

4 / 24

5 / 24

A company wants to enhance its network security by preventing DNS spoofing. Which of the following DNS settings should be prioritized?

6 / 24

A company is setting up a guest WiFi network and wants to ensure guests can access the internet but not the internal company network. Which of the following configurations is MOST appropriate for the guest network’s gateway?

7 / 24

A user reports they cannot access the internet from their office PC, but others can. You verify the network connection is active, and the IP configuration is correct. What should you check NEXT?

8 / 24

9 / 24

A company’s IT policy requires all internet traffic to pass through a proxy server to monitor and filter web content. A technician is setting up a new workstation. Which of the following settings must be configured to comply with this policy?

10 / 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?

11 / 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?

12 / 24

A technician needs to create a subnet that supports up to 30 devices. What is the MINIMUM subnet mask that the technician should use?

13 / 24

15 / 24

A new department with 50 employees is being added to a company.

20 / 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?

21 / 24

22 / 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?

23 / 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?
