Networking Essentials (# 578)

Passed today (01/22/99) with 670/1000. Passing score = 552.

I would have expected a much higher score since I don't think I've made that many mistakes. After all I only got 25 questions. Anyhow, be careful to accept the answers I marked in bold. Better double check them.

A. On each workstation, use performance monitor to monitor CPU utilization

B. On each workstation, use Event viewer to monitor CPU utilization

C. On the server, use performance monitor to remotely monitor CPU utilization on each workstation.

D. On the server, use network monitor to remotely monitor CPU utilization on each workstation.

6) What is the function of the Data Link Layer in the OSI model?

A. Ensures sessions are maintained between clients and servers.

B. Provides error free transmission between two PC's.

C. Adds routing information to the packet

D. Provides access to services on the network.

7) You want to configure NT Server on a computer that has a DEC Alpha processor with 2 primary partitions out of which the first one is active.

Required : max security

Question : What file system do you use?

B. NTFS on both paritions

C. FAT on 1st and NTFS on 2nd partition

D. NTFS on 1st and FAT on 2nd partition

8) What is the benefit of a routable protocol?

A. Guaranteed packet delivery across the network.

B. Routes broadcast traffic across the network.

C. Provides redundant paths for the routing of network traffic.

D. Enables devices on the network to communicate with devices on other networks.

9) --------------------------------------- Exhibit : | TR - TCP/IP - 172.16.0.0 |------------------------------ ? (Bridge)

13) Clients an servers are on different subnets. You can ping the server from the client, but you can't access the server by its Netbios name.  What is the problem?

A. Client and server have the same IP address.

B. Server is configured with the wrong subnet mask.

C. The servers name is not registered with the name server

D. The clients name is not registered with the name server

14) You want to manage hubs, bridges, routers on the network. Your server runs NT server. What do you need to include in your administrative plan?
