An end user is unable to connect to the network, and a technician has visually verified the lights on the back of the PC are active and there is no physical damage to the Ethernet jack. Which of the following tools should the technician use to continue troubleshooting the connection?
- A.
Crimper
- B.
Tone generator and probe
- C.
Cable tester
- D.
Punchdown tool
Correct Answer
C. Cable testerExplanation
The technician should use a cable tester to continue troubleshooting the connection. A cable tester is a tool that can test for continuity and identify any faults or issues in the network cable. It can help determine if there are any breaks, shorts, or miswires in the cable, which could be causing the connectivity problem. By using a cable tester, the technician can quickly identify and resolve any issues with the network cable, allowing the end user to connect to the network successfully.Rate this question:

A technician has been called in to troubleshoot a connectivity issue. The user reports an inability to connect to any resources. The technician runs the ipconfig command, and the results show that the media is disconnected. The technician checks the network cable, and it is secure on both ends. The technician tests and verifies the cable is working, and then goes to the wiring closet and verifies the switchport and patch cable both work. However, there are wires pulled out of the patch panel. Which of the following tools should the technician use to BEST resolve the problem?
- A.
Punchdown tool
- B.
Wire strippers
- C.
Tone generator
- D.
Crimper
Correct Answer
A. Punchdown toolExplanation
The technician should use a punchdown tool to resolve the problem. A punchdown tool is used to secure wires into a patch panel or keystone jack. Since there are wires pulled out of the patch panel, using a punchdown tool will allow the technician to properly reinsert and secure the wires, restoring connectivity. Wire strippers are used to remove the protective coating from wires, but they are not needed in this situation. A tone generator is used to trace and identify cables, which is not relevant to the issue at hand. A crimper is used to attach connectors to the ends of cables, which is also not necessary in this case.Rate this question:

A technician is configuring a new web server and must have over 10TB fault tolerant storage, while minimizing the number of failure points. The applications on the server also require the highest performance available. Which of the following configurations would the technician MOST likely select?
- A.
RAID 5 with 7200 RPM 5TB drives
- B.
RAID 1 with 10000 RPM 8TB drives
- C.
RAID 0 with 15000 RPM 15TB drives
- D.
RAID 10 with 5400 RPM 6TB drives
Correct Answer
B. RAID 1 with 10000 RPM 8TB drivesExplanation
The technician would most likely select RAID 1 with 10000 RPM 8TB drives because RAID 1 provides fault tolerance by mirroring data across multiple drives, minimizing the risk of data loss. Additionally, the 10000 RPM drives offer higher performance compared to the other options, ensuring the applications on the server can run smoothly. The 8TB capacity meets the requirement for over 10TB storage while still minimizing the number of failure points.Rate this question:

- D.
RAID 10 with 5400rpm 6TB drives
Correct Answer
D. RAID 10 with 5400rpm 6TB drivesExplanation
RAID 10 with 5400rpm 6TB drives is the preferred choice because it offers a combination of redundancy and performance. RAID 10 provides both mirroring and striping, which means data is duplicated across multiple drives for fault tolerance and improved read and write speeds. The 5400rpm drives may have a slower rotational speed compared to the other options, but the RAID 10 configuration compensates for this by providing better overall performance and data protection. Additionally, the 6TB capacity is still substantial and should be sufficient for most storage needs.Rate this question:

A user purchases a wireless printer and sets it up in an office. The user installs all necessary software for the printer on the computer and connects the printer to the guest wireless network. However, when the user attempts to print to the printer, nothing happens. Which of the following will resolve the issue?
- A.
Configure the printer to use the Internet printing protocol.
- B.
Ensure the user’s computer is set to DHCP.
- C.
Connect the printer to the company wireless network.
- D.
