    Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Firewalls can indeed be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. Hardware firewalls are physical devices that are placed between the network and the internet to filter and control incoming and outgoing traffic. They provide an extra layer of security and can handle large amounts of traffic efficiently. On the other hand, software firewalls are installed on individual computers or servers and provide protection at the software level. They monitor network traffic and block unauthorized access. Combining both hardware and software firewalls can provide a comprehensive and robust security solution.

    _______ is what is used by the router to assign an IP address to a specific computer, while _____ is a service that translates website names into the website's IP address. Therefore, DHCP assigns IP addresses, and DNS looks up already existing addresses.

    • DHCP & DNS

    • DC & DNS

    • DHCP & DC

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. DHCP & DNS
    Explanation
    DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by the router to assign an IP address to a specific computer. It automates the process of IP address allocation and configuration for devices on a network. On the other hand, DNS (Domain Name System) is a service that translates website names into the website's IP address. It maps domain names to their corresponding IP addresses, allowing users to access websites using easy-to-remember names instead of numerical IP addresses. Therefore, DHCP assigns IP addresses to devices, while DNS looks up the IP address associated with a domain name.

    How do you clear CMOS password?

    • By changing the jumper setting in the motherboard

    • By formatting the system

    • By removing Bios Battery

    • BY formatting only OS

    Correct Answer
    A. By changing the jumper setting in the motherboard
    Explanation
    The CMOS password can be cleared by changing the jumper setting on the motherboard. This involves locating the CMOS jumper on the motherboard and moving it to a different position for a specific amount of time. This action will reset the CMOS settings, including the password, to their default values. Formatting the system or removing the BIOS battery will not clear the CMOS password. Formatting only the operating system will not affect the CMOS settings.
