  1. A business customer wants to segment their network to separate guest Wi-Fi from internal systems. Which technology should be recommended?

    Answer: VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)

    VLANs logically separate a physical network into distinct segments, allowing guest traffic to be isolated from sensitive internal systems.

  2. What is the function of a network firewall?

    Answer: To monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on rules

    A firewall monitors and filters network traffic based on predefined security rules, blocking unauthorized access while allowing legitimate traffic.

  3. Which type of network attack involves overwhelming a server with traffic to make it unavailable?

    Answer: Class C

    IP addresses starting with 192.168.x.x are Class C private IP addresses, commonly used in small to medium-sized local area networks.

    Answer: To allow multiple devices to share a single public IP address

    NAT allows multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address when communicating with the internet.
