A few more sample questions

Sample question 1. A visitor plugged a laptop into a spare wall jack in a meeting room and got onto the office network. Most wall jacks in the building are unused. What should the technician do?

  1. Disable the switch ports connected to unused wall jacks
  2. Label the unused jacks “Do not use”
  3. Change the Wi-Fi password, since that is how visitors connect
  4. Set the unused ports to 10 Mbps so they are too slow to use

  2. sfc /scannow to restore the missing boot configuration
  3. format C: to clear the damaged boot records

Sample question 3. An employee uses the same easy-to-remember password on about thirty websites, including her work email. What should the technician recommend?
