A network technician is troubleshooting network latency and has determined the issue to be occuring two network switches( Switch10 and Switch11). Symptoms reported included poor video performance and slow file copying. Given the following informtion:
Which of the following should the technician most likely do to resolve the issue?
Which of the following can also provide a security feature when implemented?
NAT (Network Address Translation) helps hide internal IP addresses from external networks, adding a layer of security by preventing direct access to internal systems from the outside.
A network administrator is notified that a user cannot access resources on the network. The network administrator checks the physical connections to the workstation labeled User 3 and sees the Ethernet is properly connected. However, the network interface's indicator lights are not blinking on either the computer or the switch. Which of the following Is the most likely cause?
When a network interface's indicator lights are not blinking on either the computer or the switch, it suggests a physical layer issue. Here is the detailed reasoning:
Ethernet Properly Connected: The Ethernet cable is correctly connected, eliminating issues related to a loose or faulty cable.
No Indicator Lights: The absence of blinking indicator lights on both the computer and the switch typically points to the port being administratively shut down.
Switch Port Shut Down: In networking, a switch port can be administratively shut down, disabling it from passing any traffic. This state is configured by network administrators and can be verified and changed using the command-line interface (CLI) of the switch.
Command to Check and Enable Port:
bash
Copy code
Switch> enable
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface [interface id]
Switch(config-if)# no shutdown
The command no shutdown re-enables the interface if it was previously disabled. This will restore the link and the indicator lights should start blinking, showing activity.
A network administrator needs to divide 192.168.1.0/24 into two equal halves. Which of the following subnet masks should the administrator use?
Understanding Subnetting:
Original Network: 192.168.1.0/24 has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which allows for 256 IP addresses (including network and broadcast addresses).
Objective: Divide this network into two equal subnets.
Calculating Subnet Mask:
New Subnet Mask: To divide 192.168.1.0/24 into two equal halves, we need to borrow one bit from the host portion of the address, changing the subnet mask to 255.255.255.128 (/25).
Subnet Breakdown:
First Subnet: 192.168.1.0/25 (192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.127)
Second Subnet: 192.168.1.128/25 (192.168.1.128 - 192.168.1.255)
Verification:
Each subnet now has 128 IP addresses (126 usable IP addresses, excluding the network and broadcast addresses).
Comparison with Other Options:
255.255.0.0 (/16): Provides a much larger network, not dividing the original /24 network.
255.255.254.0 (/23): Also creates a larger subnet, encompassing more than the original /24 network.
255.255.255.0 (/24): Maintains the original subnet size, not dividing it.
