We’ll put your name on your report, certificate, and leaderboard.
2. When the server has a tape backup device, you may do away with RAID. T/F?

Explanation

RAID is very much essential for online data storage fault tolerance.

Submit
3. A Server configuration cannot boot from IDE devices. T/F?

Explanation

A server configuration can boot from IDE device, but IDE cannot provide the fault tolerance needed by the Server.

Submit
4. Which of the following cannot be used as a fault tolerant measure?

Explanation

RAID 0 is not a fault tolerant measure in the software level RAID.

Submit
5. Cluster service is a fault tolerant service for servers on the network. T/F?

Explanation

Implementation of cluster service improves network availability and allows for scalability. It does not relate to troubleshooting procedures in any way.

Submit
6. If the server machine is constantly increasing the page file size, which of the following devices could be causing a problem?

Explanation

If the problem is with either the hard disk or motherboard, the POSt would have detected the same. The page file in itself cannot have problems as it is just a memory location. The problem is with the memory.

Submit
7. The Ultra2 Wide SCSI can provide 80 MB/sec transfer rate. T/F?

Explanation

The combination of Ultra2 Wide controller and drive is meant for situations that demand improved performance and excellent transfer rate. 80 MB/sec is definitely within the support capability of Ultra2 Wide SCSI

Submit
8. A RAID is a ___________________________________.

Explanation

A RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive drives) is an online data fault tolerance. It can be formed by using two or more IDE or SCSI drives of same capacity.

Submit
9. Hardware RAID is expensive where as Software RAID is poor in performance. T/F ?

Explanation

Hardware level RAID gives far better performance than a software level RAID. Hardware level RAID is far more expensive than software level RAID.

Submit
10. Which of the following utilities can be used to see active connections on a server?

Explanation

Netstat is a command-line program that displays information about a TCP/IP computer's current network connections and about the traffic generated by the various TCP/IP protocols.

Submit
11. It is mandatory for the Server motherboard architecture to support bus mastering. T/F?

Explanation

Bus Mastering is a feature supported by some bus architectures that enables a controller connected to the bus to communicate directly with other devices on the bus without going through the CPU. Most modern bus architectures, including PCI, support bus mastering because it improves performance.

Submit
12. AFT can be implemented for display adapters only. Y/N?

Explanation

AFT is implemented for NICs it is in other words referred to as Network Adapter Fault Tolerance (NAFT)

Submit
13. Most SCSI-2 devices will work fine with SCSI-1 adapters.

Explanation

SCSI-2 devices can function with SCSI-2 as well as SCSI-1 adapters.

Submit
14. DNS is capable of resolving Ip to NetBIOS names. T/F?

Explanation

DNS can resolve only Host names to IP addresses and vice versa.

Submit
15. It is sufficient to install antivirus on a network, on servers and systems exposed to the internet. T/F?

Explanation

All systems in a network, inclusive of servers and clients irrespective of whether they are exposed to the Internet or not need to be safeguarded with the antivirus

Submit
16. Which of the following is a dial-up protocol?

Explanation

PPP is capable of building end-to-end connections for each specific protocol that can be encapsulated for that session.

Submit
17. FDDI is used as a fault tolerance for online data storage. T/F?

Explanation

FDDI is a fault tolerant measure for a network segment. RAID is an online fault tolerance for data storage device.

Submit
18. Which of the following is an obsolete dial-up protocol?

Explanation

L2TP is a tunneling protocol and is not relevant here. Kerberos cannot be used for IP based network. ISIS relates to routing network.

Submit
19. Which of the following AT commands can cause a modem to hang up manually?

Explanation

Under the AT commands available H- instructs 'hang up' to the modem.

Submit
20. The DNS server uses broadcast method first to determine IP to Host resolution. T/F?

Explanation

The DNS service will first refer its cache, then the database and so on to perform resolution. Broadcast is employed only when the DNS service fails to fulfill the resolution.

Submit
21. Which of the following is a must on the Server running NOS?

Explanation

After every installation and configuration on a network operating system, it is very essential to re-apply the service pack or upgrade it according to requirements.

Submit
22. Kerberos can be used for WAN authentication. T/F?

Explanation

Kerberos is a security type used to authenticating LAN users. For securing the WAN users authentication you would require IPSec.

Submit
23. You are configuring RAS service on the server. You are using a dial-up modem for connectivity, which of the following configuration is important?

Explanation

Since you are connecting using a modem, it is the dial-up adapter that needs to be assigned an IP address.

Submit
24. Disk mirroring is ideal fault tolerance for a system partition. T/F?

Explanation

A system partition on the server should not be mirrored as it will slow down the performance on the server.

Submit
25. Which of the following server types can be assigned dynamic IP addresses?

Explanation

All critical Network Service must be running on Servers that are assigned Static IP address to avoid confusion.
