They alert network administrators to various type of denial of service attacks as they occur. They prevent viruses, worms, and Trojans from infecting host computers and servers. They enable encryption and authentication of confidential data communications. A hacker attempts to reach confidential information that is stored on a server inside the corporate network. A network security solution inspects the entire packet, determines that it is a threat, and blocks the packet from entering the inside network. Which security measure protected the network? an IDS *an IPS a host-based firewall Anti-X software

Which application layer protocol makes this possible? *SNMP FTP DHCP SMTP A user reports being unable to access the Internet. The help desk technician employs a bottom-up approach to troubleshooting. The technician first has the user check the patch cable connection from the PC to the wall, and then has the user verify that the NIC has a green link light. What will the technician have the user do next? Enter an IP address into the WWW browser address bar to see if DNS is at fault.

The switch is functioning properly. *The switch has failed POST. The switch configuration file was not saved to NVRAM. The connection between the switch and the server did not autonegotiate speed and duplex properly. Refer to the exhibit. While configuring the serial interface of a router, the network administrator sees the highlighted error message. What is the reason for this? The serial interface is administratively down. The serial interface is already configured with an IP address. *The network administrator has attempted to configure the serial interface with a broadcast address. The same IP address has been configured on another interface. How does an SNMP trap aid network monitoring and management? It reports to the management station by responding to polls. It collects information for the management station by using polling devices. *It sends an alert message to the management station when a threshold is reached.

privilege" imply? No user has more privileges than any other user. Permissions to files are given based on seniority. *Users only have access to resources that are necessary for their jobs. Users should be given no access to computer resources until they ask. A client complains to an ISP that the hosted web server seems slow and frequently cannot be reached. The technician suspects the special high performance server NIC might be the source of the problem.

A network technician wants to restore a backup copy of the saved configuration file on a router from a TFTP server. After restoring the file from the TFTP server, the technician reloads the router and finds that it still has the old configuration file instead of the restored file. What could have caused this? The technician entered the command delete flash: before reloading the router. The technician entered the command boot system rom before reloading the router. The technician entered the command erase startup-config before reloading the router. *The technician failed to enter the command copy running-config startup-config before reloading the router. Refer to the exhibit. The Transfer > Capture Text feature available through HyperTerminal has been used to capture the running configuration on a router. The startup-configuration has been erased from the router followed by the issuing of the reload command. The startupconfig is restored by using the captured file, but all interfaces on the router are shown as administratively down. What could cause this problem? The enable password was incorrectly entered. The configuration register was not set to 0x2142. The enable secret password was incorrectly entered. *The no shutdown command must be entered under each interface section in the file being sent. The captured file should have restored the running configuration not the startup configuration. A network technician wants to load a configuration file from a TFTP server to a router.
