A user asks you which of the follwing RAID disk arrays provide fault tolerance with parity. what should you tell him?
- A.
RAID 0
- B.
RAID 1
- C.
RAID 32
- D.
RAID 5
- E.
RAID 4
Correct Answer
D. RAID 5Explanation
RAID 5 provides fault tolerance with parity. In RAID 5, data is striped across multiple disks along with parity information. This parity information allows for the reconstruction of data in case of a disk failure. When a disk fails, the data can be rebuilt using the parity information stored on the remaining disks. This provides fault tolerance as the system can continue to function even if a disk fails. RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 32, and RAID 4 do not provide fault tolerance with parity.Rate this question:

- A.
Disk clean up
- B.
Disk dump
- C.
REGEDIT
- D.
Disk quotas
- E.

This helps in managing disk space usage and preventing any single user from consuming excessive disk space, ensuring fair allocation of resources. Disk clean up, disk dump, REGEDIT, and CMD are not specifically designed for tracking and controlling disk space availability on an NTFS volume.Rate this question:

ARP is responsible for the following ?
- A.
For discovering the internet address of a host on a network
- B.
Starting the boot process
- C.
Communicating problems with transmission
- D.
Locating a host on a local network
- E.
ARP is made up and is not responsible for anything
Correct Answer
D. Locating a host on a local networkExplanation
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is responsible for locating a host on a local network. It is a protocol used to map an IP address to a physical (MAC) address. When a device wants to communicate with another device on the same network, it needs to know the MAC address of that device. ARP is used to resolve this by sending out a broadcast message to all devices on the network, asking which device has the specific IP address. The device with the matching IP address responds with its MAC address, allowing communication to take place.Rate this question:

Bill, a user is having problems with his email, which of the following protocols could be a cause ?
- A.
HTTP
- B.
FTP
- C.
SMTP
- D.
SSH
- E.
SNTP
Correct Answer
C. SMTPExplanation
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the correct answer because it is the protocol used for sending and receiving emails. If Bill is experiencing problems with his email, it could be due to issues with the SMTP protocol, such as server configuration problems, authentication issues, or network connectivity problems. HTTP, FTP, SSH, and SNTP are not directly related to email communication, so they are less likely to be the cause of Bill's email problems.Rate this question:

- A.
The printhead has overheated
- B.
The printer firmware is corrupt
- C.
The printer port is disabled in CMOS

If spooling is not enabled, it means that the printer is not able to queue print jobs and process them in the background. This can result in slow printouts as the printer has to wait for each print job to be fully processed before starting the next one. Enabling spooling allows the printer to receive print jobs and store them in a queue, allowing for faster and more efficient printing.Rate this question:
