Question #1
Which of the following is typical of software licensing in the cloud?
- APer socket
- BPerpetual
- CSubscription-basedMost Voted
- DSite-based
Correct Answer:
C
C

The correct answer is subscription-based, which aligns with how cloud services generally operate. Typically in cloud environments, software licenses are offered on a subscription basis. This model allows for flexibility and scalability, fitting the dynamic nature of cloud resources where users can adjust their usage based on current needs without the upfront cost of perpetual licenses.

Question #2
A server administrator wants to run a performance monitor for optimal system utilization. Which of the following metrics can the administrator use for monitoring?
(Choose two.)
(Choose two.)
- AMemoryMost Voted
- BPage file
- CServices
- DApplication
- ECPUMost Voted
- FHeartbeat
Correct Answer:
AE
AE

When monitoring server performance for optimal system utilization, focusing on the CPU and memory is essential. These metrics are critical as they directly influence the server's ability to process tasks and manage the applications running on it. By analyzing CPU usage, you can determine how much of the processor’s capacity is being used, which is crucial for identifying processing bottlenecks. Similarly, monitoring memory usage helps in understanding how efficiently the server handles active applications and data, ensuring that there are no delays or failures due to insufficient memory resources. This approach aligns with core practices in server management for maintaining robust performance.

Question #3
After configuring IP networking on a newly commissioned server, a server administrator installs a straight-through network cable from the patch panel to the switch. The administrator then returns to the server to test network connectivity using the ping command. The partial output of the ping and ipconfig commands are displayed below:

The administrator returns to the switch and notices an amber link light on the port where the server is connected. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason for the lack of network connectivity?

The administrator returns to the switch and notices an amber link light on the port where the server is connected. Which of the following is the MOST likely reason for the lack of network connectivity?
- ANetwork port security
- BAn improper VLAN configuration
- CA misconfigured DHCP server
- DA misconfigured NIC on the serverMost Voted

Question #4
A user cannot save large files to a directory on a Linux server that was accepting smaller files a few minutes ago. Which of the following commands should a technician use to identify the issue?
- Apvdisplay
- Bmount
- Cdf -hMost Voted
- Dfdisk -l
Correct Answer:
C
C

Absolutely, 'df -h' is the right pick here! It shows the disk space used and available on file systems, giving you that quick snapshot in a format that’s easy to read. So when a user reports they can't save large files, this command helps check if the disk is full or if something else is gobbling up space quickly. Super useful for a quick check without getting bogged down in too many details.

Question #5
Following a recent power outage, a server in the datacenter has been constantly going offline and losing its configuration. Users have been experiencing access issues while using the application on the server. The server technician notices the date and time are incorrect when the server is online. All other servers are working. Which of the following would MOST likely cause this issue? (Choose two.)
- AThe server has a faulty power supplyMost Voted
- BThe server has a CMOS battery failureMost Voted
- CThe server requires OS updates
- DThe server has a malfunctioning LED panel
- EThe servers do not have NTP configured
- FThe time synchronization service is disabled on the servers
Correct Answer:
CF
CF

The issue with the server losing its configuration and displaying incorrect date and time typically points towards a CMOS battery failure, which retains BIOS settings. Additionally, the server going offline frequently suggests a potential problem with the power supply. This connection between symptoms and component failures fits the scenario described, where server-specific problems persist while other servers operate normally. It's important to check these components first in such cases for accurate diagnostics.

Question #6
A company has implemented a requirement to encrypt all the hard drives on its servers as part of a data loss prevention strategy. Which of the following should the company also perform as a data loss prevention method?
- AEncrypt all network trafficMost Voted
- BImplement MFA on all the servers with encrypted data
- CBlock the servers from using an encrypted USB
- DImplement port security on the switches
Correct Answer:
D
D

To effectively augment the data loss prevention strategy, implementing port security on switches is a crucial step. This method focuses on controlling network access and mitigates risks of unauthorized network connections which can lead to data leaks. It ensures that only authorized devices can connect to the network, preventing potential illicit access or data breaches from unsecured or unsanctioned devices. This approach complements encryption by adding an additional layer of security over the network infrastructure.
