Part 3 Network Implementation Quiz

  • Question #1
  • You have some Macintosh computers connected to a Novell Netware 4.11 network. You have been asked to give the Macintosh computers the ability to print on the Netware network using AppleTalk. Which of the following services should you install on the Netware 4.11 server to enable Macintosh computers to network print?

  • A. NFS
  • B. TCP/IP
  • C. LPQ
  • D. ATPS


  • Answer: D

  • Explanation:

  • Question #2
  • Each computer that is assigned a network ID is called?

  • A. Workstation
  • B. Server
  • C. Host
  • D. Name server


  • Answer: C

  • Explanation:
  • Every computer on the network is denoted as a Host.
  • Workstation is a computer that access resources on the network.
  • Server is a computer that provides service in the network.
  • Name server is used to locate the host names records in the network.

  • Question #3
  • You have 21 Windows NT servers, 6 UNIX servers, 1 Novell 5 server, and 50 Windows workstations. Choose one protocol that will connect to ALL servers.

  • A. IP
  • B. DLC
  • C. NWLink
  • D. NetBEUI


  • Answer: A

  • Explanation:
  • Novell 5 supports TCP/IP natively. UNIX use TCP/IP. Windows 95 and Windows NT can be configured for TCP/IP.
  • DLC is mainly used by IBM mainframes and some HP printers.
  • NWLink is Microsoft's Implementation of IPX/SPX:IPX/SPX is not supported by UNIX computers.
  • NetBEUI is not supported by UNIX computers.

  • Question #4
  • You transfer data via a WAN and want to secure data. Which of the following is the best approach?

  • A. Share level security
  • B. Encrypt Data
  • C. Password protect data
  • D. Use ISDN


  • Answer: B

  • Explanation:
  • Anyone could have access to the WAN, so the data must be secured by the means of encryption.
  • Share-level security only secures local resources. It does not secure anything transferred on the WAN.
  • Password-protected data would be unprotected when it is transferred on the WAN.
  • ISDN does not provide any security.

  • Question #5
  • What character signifies the start of a comment line in a HOSTS file?

  • A. ;
  • B. %u
  • C. $
  • D. @
  • E. *

  • Answer: F

  • Explanation:
  • # is used for comments in hosts files.

  • Question #6
  • Which network resource provides services for users?

  • A. Local host
  • B. Server
  • C. Workstation
  • D. ISDN


  • Answer: B

  • Explanation:
  • Servers provide login services, file services, e-mail services, internet connectivity services, printing services etc. to the users.
  • Local host is not a service.
  • The workstation only provides a very limited amount of services to the users, such as the network browsing service.
  • ISDN is not a service.

  • Question #7
  • On IP networks, what is the term that refers to any device with a logical address?

  • A. host
  • B. peer
  • C. client
  • D. server


  • Answer: A

  • Explanation:
  • Any device that has a logical address, an IP address, is referred to as a host.
  • A peer device is a corresponding device. For example all computers in a peer network are considered equal.
  • Clients are just an example of IP host.
  • Servers are just an example of IP host.

  • Question #8
  • On which day(s) can you do full backups? (Choose all that apply.)
  • Given the following information:
  • Your company's regular business hours are from 8a.m. to 5p.m. Monday to Friday
  • Your supervisor instructed you to run backups only after business hours to avoid impacting network performance.
  • You have a 50 GB tape drive with a data transfer rate of 3600 KB/min, allowing transfer of 2.1 GB per hour.
  • You have 40 GB to backup.

  • A. Monday
  • B. Tuesday
  • C. Wednesday
  • D. Thursday
  • E. Friday


  • Answer: E

  • Explanation:
  • 2.1 GB per hour and 40 GB to backup make the duration of the backup process 19.1 hours long.
  • The backup should take place during the weekends, starting Friday night.
  • There are only 15 non-business hours between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. The 19.1 hour backup process must not be started Monday to Thursday.

  • Question #9
  • You company has just migrated its Novel NetWare server to Windows NT. Because you are more familiar with the IPX/SPX protocol, you choose to use it instead of TCP/IP. You connect your network to the Internet through an ISDN connection

  • A. You must install TCP/IP to access the Internet.
  • B. None. IPX/SPX works well in an Internet environment.
  • C. You must install NetBEUI to reduce your broadcast overhead and to access the Internet.
  • D. IPX/SPX is not a routable protocol and will not allow your network to access the Internet.


  • Answer: A

  • Explanation:
  • TCP/IP is required for Internet access.

  • Question #10
  • Which server operating system natively uses domain servers?

  • A. Linux
  • B. NetWare 5.0
  • C. Mac OS 8.0
  • D. Windows 2000


  • Answer: A

  • Explanation:
  • Domain servers are used in the context of DNS. Unix and Linux natively use DNS for name resolution.

  • Question #11
  • Which two application protocols does Network Attached Storage(NAS) use?(Choose two.)

  • A. NFS
  • B. EMI
  • C. ATM
  • D. SMB
  • E. HDLC


  • Answer: A and D

  • Explanation:
  • NAS can use the Network File System(NFS) or Server Message Block(SMB)

  • Question #12
  • Which of the following are the characteristics of a private network?(Choose all that apply)?

  • A. IP hosts directly accessible from the Internet
  • B. Network IP not exposed to the Internet
  • C. Additional addresses must be acquired from IANA
  • D. Internet access requires address translation


  • Answer: B and D

  • Explanation:
  • True IP must be acquired from IANA. On the other hand, private addresses are not usable on the public network, unless NAT is deployed to translate the addresses to true IP addresses. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number ccan be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address. Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates.

  • Question #13
  • Which two protocols does Network Attached Storage(NAS) use?(Choose two.)

  • A. IPX
  • B. ATM
  • C. TCP/IP
  • D. Frame Relay


  • Answer: A and C

  • Explanation:
  • NAS supports IPX and TCP/IP.
  • ATM and frame relay are not protocols supported by NAS.

  • Question #14
  • Which of the following protocols are used in conjunction with Network Attached Storage(NAS)?(Choose two)

  • A. TCP/IP
  • B. Frame Relay
  • C. IPX
  • D. SMDS


  • Answer: A and C

  • Explanation:
  • Frame Relay and SMDS are WAN protocols, but NAS is just storage areas made available on the server. So TCP/IP and IPX are the protocols to choose.

  • Question #15
  • Where is the file system located in a Network Attached Storage (NAS) system?

  • A. At the router
  • B. At the switch
  • C. At each client
  • D. At the storage device


  • Answer: D

  • Explanation:
  • NAS challenges the traditional file server approach by creating systems designed specifically for data storage. A single hardware device, often called the NAS box or NAS head, acts as the interface between the NAS and network clients. The NAS devices require no monitor, keyboard or mouse.
