Question 9

A(n)____ is a graphical representation of a network's devices and connections.
A) Multi Router Traffic Grapher
B) network diagram
C) wiring schematic
D) event viewer

Accepted Answer

A network diagram is a visual representation of a network's devices and connections, showing how they are interconnected. Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) is a tool used for monitoring and graphing network data, not for creating network diagrams. Wiring schematics are diagrams that show the connections between electrical components in a system, not necessarily a network. Event Viewer is a Windows tool used for viewing system and application event logs.

Question 10

A ____ is a correction,improvement,or enhancement to a particular piece of a software application.
A) revision
B) change
C) patch
D) software upgrade

Accepted Answer

A patch is a small update or fix that addresses a specific issue or vulnerability in a software application. It is typically released quickly to address an urgent problem and may not include any new features or improvements. A revision or change may refer to larger updates that include new features or functionality, while a software upgrade typically involves a major version update with significant changes. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is C) patch.

Question 11

A key component in managing networks is identifying and tracking its hardware and software through ____ management.
A) performance
B) change
C) configuration
D) asset

Accepted Answer

Asset management is the process of tracking and managing the physical components (hardware) and software of a network, including their respective licenses and maintenance schedules. It helps organizations keep an accurate inventory of their resources, minimize the risks of software audits or security breaches, and optimize their IT spending by avoiding redundant purchases or maintenance. Performance management involves monitoring and analyzing the network's quality of service, bandwidth, availability, and other metrics to maintain or improve its performance. Change management is the process of planning, testing, implementing, and documenting changes to the network infrastructure, applications, or policies to minimize disruptions, errors, or conflicts. Configuration management involves organizing, maintaining, and updating the network's configuration settings, files, and parameters to ensure consistency, security, and compliance. While all these management practices are interrelated and necessary for effective network administration, asset management focuses specifically on the inventory and life cycle of hardware and software.

Question 12

____ management refers to monitoring how well links and devices are keeping up with the demands placed on them.
A) Performance
B) Fault
C) Network
D) Configuration

Accepted Answer

Performance management is specifically focused on tracking how well the network is handling its workload and identifying any issues that might be causing slowdowns or interruptions in service. Fault management, on the other hand, is primarily concerned with detecting and resolving problems as they occur, while network and configuration management deal more broadly with maintaining and optimizing the network infrastructure itself.

Question 13

____ involves manipulating certain characteristics of packets,data streams,or connections to manage the type and amount of traffic traversing a network or interface at any moment.
A) Traffic monitoring
B) Traffic routing
C) Traffic polling
D) Traffic shaping

Accepted Answer

Traffic shaping involves manipulating the flow of traffic on a network by controlling the type and amount of traffic at any given time. This is done by setting limits on bandwidth usage, prioritizing certain types of traffic, and queuing packets to ensure smooth transmission.

Question 14

A network management agent is a ____ that collects information about a device's operation and provides it to the network management application.
A) software routine
B) hardware device
C) GUI
D) probe

Accepted Answer

A network management agent is a software routine that runs on a device and collects information about its operation, such as resource utilization, network traffic statistics, and application performance. The agent then provides this information to the network management application for analysis and reporting.

Question 15

A ____ is a network device devoted to storage and delivery of frequently requested files.
A) cache engine
B) Web site host
C) server
D) database host

Accepted Answer

A cache engine is specifically designed to store and quickly deliver frequently accessed files, such as web pages, images, and videos. This helps to improve the performance and speed of websites and other online services. While servers, Web site hosts, and database hosts may also be involved in delivering these files, a cache engine is a specialized device that is optimized for this task.

Question 16

____ management is the collection,storage,and assessment of information related to the versions of software installed on every network device and every device's hardware configuration.
A) Change
B) Performance
C) Asset
D) Configuration

Accepted Answer

Configuration management involves the collection, storage, and assessment of information related to the configurations of software and hardware on every network device.

Question 17

The process where one network management console collects data from multiple networked devices at regular intervals is known as ____.
A) baselining
B) interrogating
C) polling
D) pulsing

Accepted Answer

Polling is the process of regularly collect data from networked devices. Option A, baselining refers to the process of creating a baseline or reference of normal performance metrics for a system or network. Option B, interrogating implies a more active form of data collection, where the management console actively interacts with each device to obtain data. Option D, pulsing is not a commonly used term in network management.

Question 18

The first step in configuration management is to take an inventory of each node on the network.

Accepted Answer

The first step in configuration management is typically to identify and document the configuration items, which involves defining what aspects of the system will be managed and controlled, rather than taking an inventory of each node on the network.

Question 19

The more data you gather while establishing your network's baseline,the less accurate your prediction will be.

Accepted Answer

The more data you gather while establishing your network's baseline, the more accurate your prediction will be. This is because a larger amount of data allows for a more comprehensive and representative baseline to be established, which can aid in making more accurate predictions about future network performance.

Question 20

____ management refers to the detection and signaling of device,link,or component faults.
A) Performance
B) Fault
C) Network
D) Configuration

Accepted Answer

Fault management specifically deals with identifying and notifying of faults in a system or network. Performance management involves monitoring and optimizing network performance, network management encompasses the administration and monitoring of network devices and services, and configuration management involves maintaining accurate and up-to-date configurations for network devices.
