Question 6

You want to use a unicast IPv6 address on the subnets of a private network to implement IPv6 connectivity over the subnet. Which of the following unicast IPv6 address types should you use?

Accepted Answer

You should use a site-local address to use a unicast IPv6 address on the subnets of a private network to implement IPv6 connectivity over the subnet.
Key Takeaway: IPv6 unicast site-local addresses are similar to IPv4 private addresses. The scope of a site-local address is the internetwork of a company's site. The initial 48 fixed bits of the site-local address are followed by a 16-bit Subnet ID field. The subnet ID field provides as many as 65,536 subnets in a flat subnet structure. The last field in the site-local address is a 64-bit Interface ID field used to identify the interface of a node on a specific subnet.

Question 7

Which of the following resource records enables the DNS to resolve a host name to an IPv6 address?

Accepted Answer

The AAAA resource record enables the DNS to resolve a host name to an IPv6 address.

Question 8

Which of the following should you do to allow access to only authorized laptops to your wireless network?

Accepted Answer

You should enable MAC address control to allow access to only authorized computers to your network.
Key Takeaway: MAC address filtering is an access point feature that is normally turned off by the manufacturer. Without MAC address filtering, any wireless client can join a Wi-Fi network.

Question 9

Your office has two wireless networks, which employees use to connect to the Internet. You are able to connect to the Internet without any issues when you are in the A wing of the building. However, when you try to connect to the internet from the B wing of the building, you experience delays and connection problems. Which of the following should you do to resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

To resolve this issue, disable network switching on one or both of the preferred networks.
Key Takeaway: The most likely cause of this issue is that your wireless client is within the range of both wireless networks in the B wing of the building.
