C) workgroup is a term used in peer-to-peer networking to describe a group of devices that share resources.

E) client/server is a model of computing where one device (the server) provides services to other devices (the clients).

I) VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a way of securely connecting devices over a public network, like the internet.

Question 2

Match each item with a statement below.
-A numeric label assigned to each computer, printer, and other devices in a computer network

Accepted Answer

An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.

Question 3

Match each item with a statement below.
-A naming convention used primarily to specify and map network drives

Accepted Answer

UNC (Universal Naming Convention) is a naming convention used primarily to specify and map network drives, allowing for the location and access to network resources.

Question 4

What type of network employs computers that are equally capable of being both clients and servers?

Accepted Answer

A peer-to-peer network employs computers that are equally capable of being both clients and servers, without the need for a centralized server. The other options, the Internet, LAN, and WAN, typically have a centralized server or servers that control access and distribution of information.

Question 5

What NTFS permissions override those assigned at the folder level?

Accepted Answer

File permissions override folder permissions when they are more restrictive. This is because NTFS permissions are cumulative and the most restrictive permission applies when there is a conflict.

Question 6

Match each item with a statement below.
-An autoconfiguration protocol used on IP networks

Accepted Answer

DHCP is an autoconfiguration protocol used on IP networks.

Answer: F 
 An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.

Answer: H 
 Samba is a software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients.

Answer: J 
 UNC (Universal Naming Convention) is a syntax used to describe the location of resources, such as shared files and printers, on a network.

Question 7

When the CentOS 7 execute bit is set for the owner, what will the SUID bit be set to?

Accepted Answer

When the execute bit is set for the owner, it does not affect the SUID bit. The SUID bit is used to allow an executable file to run with the permissions of the file's owner instead of the permissions of the user who executes it. It is typically set on executable files such as passwd, ping, etc. to give them the necessary permissions to carry out their tasks.

Question 8

What CLI command can be issued in CentOS 7 to help you to see every "hop" that a connection makes, including all of the switches, routers, firewalls, or other computers that your communication hops across to reach the requested host?

Accepted Answer

The command "traceroute" can be used in CentOS 7 to see every "hop" that a connection makes, including all of the switches, routers, firewalls, or other computers that your communication hops across to reach the requested host.

Question 9

Which CentOS 7 file and directory permission provides read and execute authority?

Accepted Answer

The permission code "r-x" means that the file or directory can be read and executed, but not written to.

Question 10

What Windows file system permits user accounts and user groups to be linked to folder and file permissions?

Accepted Answer

NTFS (New Technology File System) is the only Windows file system that allows for user accounts and user groups to be linked to folder and file permissions. FAT32 and FAT NT are older file systems that do not have this feature. NTFS is a more secure and robust file system, making it the best choice for modern Windows operating systems.

Question 11

What protocol does CentOS 7 provide for peer-to-peer networking that is based on the common client/server protocol?

Accepted Answer

Samba is a protocol that allows for peer-to-peer networking based on the common client/server protocol. It is commonly used for file and printer sharing in a network. SOHO refers to small office/home office, DHCP is a network protocol for assigning IP addresses, and POP3 is a protocol used for retrieving email from a mail server. None of these are directly related to peer-to-peer networking based on the client/server protocol like Samba.

Question 12

Match each item with a statement below.
-A collection of computers on a LAN that share common resources and responsibilities

Accepted Answer

A workgroup is a collection of computers on a LAN that share common resources and responsibilities.

Question 13

Match each item with a statement below.
-A network protocol used by Windows 10 and CentOS 7 computers that allow systems within the same network to share files

Accepted Answer

SMB (Server Message Block) is a network protocol used by Windows and Unix-based systems like CentOS to share files, printers, and other resources within the same network.

Question 14

Match each item with a statement below.
-A series of computer devices or nodes interconnected by communication paths

Accepted Answer

A network is defined as a series of computer devices or nodes interconnected by communication paths.

Question 15

Match each item with a statement below.
-A network architecture in which each computer or process on the network is either a client or a server

Accepted Answer

The client/server architecture is a network architecture in which each computer or process on the network is either a client or a server.

Answer: F
 An IP address is a unique numerical identifier assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol.

Answer: H
 Samba is an open-source software suite that allows communication between Linux and Windows machines, enabling Linux servers to act as file and print servers for Windows clients.

Answer: I
 VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a technology that allows secure and private access to a network over the internet.

Answer: J
 UNC, or Universal Naming Convention, is a way to locate network resources in Microsoft Windows operating systems.

Question 16

Match each item with a statement below.
-A secured private network connection built on top of publicly accessible infrastructure

Accepted Answer

A secured private network connection built on top of publicly accessible infrastructure is best described as a Virtual Private Network or VPN.

Question 17

What is the process of dividing a network into groups of computers that have a common designated IP address routing prefix?

Accepted Answer

The process of dividing a network into smaller sub-networks is called subnetting.

Question 18

What bit can be set in CentOS 7 that ensures only the owner who created a file in his or her directory can delete the file and prevent malicious or accidental deletion by others?

Accepted Answer

The "sticky bit" is a special permission bit that can be set on a directory to ensure that only the owner who created a file in that directory can delete or rename the file. This prevents accidental or malicious deletion by other users. The sticky bit can be set using the command "chmod +t" followed by the directory name. This is a useful security measure in shared environments where multiple users have write access to the same directory.

Question 19

Match each item with a statement below.
-The principal communications protocol used for relaying packets across the Internet

Accepted Answer

Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol used for relaying packets across the Internet.

Answer: F
 IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.

Answer: I
 VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology that allows a secure connection between two points across the Internet, often used to connect remote workers to a network securely.

Question 20

When a file or folder is moved or copied to a FAT16 or FAT32 formatted partition, what happens to the file and folder's NTFS permissions?

Accepted Answer

FAT16 and FAT32 file systems do not support NTFS permissions, so any permissions assigned to a file or folder on an NTFS partition will be lost when that file or folder is moved or copied to a FAT16 or FAT32 partition.
