CHAPTER 16
A network technician has received several reports regarding missing and corrupted
information on a company file server. Which course of action can the technician use to
investigate any unauthorized network access?
Audit all user activity by using telnet to access each computer during the day.
Enable event logging on each user computer to check for unauthorized network
access.
Enable event logging on all network devices to audit any suspicious user activity.

Audit the event logs on the server to check for unauthorized network access.

Which two advantages are attributed to a hardware firewall when compared to a

software firewall? (Choose two.)
It costs less because it is more efficient.

It does not impact the processing performance of the equipment it protects.

It always protects both the computer it is installed on as well as the rest of the
network.
It is designed to protect more than one computer.

It is a free Windows operating system component.

A company wants to configure a firewall to monitor all channels of communication and

allow only traffic that is part of a known connection. Which firewall configuration should
be deployed?
packet filtering

proxy

stateful packet inspection

stateless packet inspection

A technician has been asked to format the drives of several Windows XP computers
with a file system that can use file-level permissions to secure confidential information.
Which file system should be used by the technician?
 EXT

FAT

FAT32

NTFS

A technician needs to configure wireless networking on several new laptop computers.

Which encryption method should the technician choose to achieve the best
authentication and payload security?
MD5

PGP

WEP

WPA

Which simple wireless configuration technique can make the network invisible to
unauthorized users?
Change the default password on the WAP.

Disable inactive wireless connections.

Filter all network access using MAC addresses.

Disable SSID broadcasting.

Windows XP should be updated on a regular basis. In which situation should automatic

updates be disabled?
Computers on a corporate network perform well without automatic updates because
they are protected by a firewall.
Home users should avoid automatic updates because they are protected by
Windows Internet Connection Firewall.
Users accessing the network using a dial-up connection need to control when
the updates are downloaded and installed.
Guest user accounts with limited access are unlikely to ever need updates because
they are temporary users.
