IP tunnels
-
RSMLT
-
Infiniband
-
Internetwork Packet Exchange
Correct Answer(s)
A. IP tunnels
A. InfinibandExplanation
The MAC layers other than Ethernet are IP tunnels and Infiniband. IP tunnels are used to encapsulate IP packets within another IP packet, allowing them to be transmitted over a different network. Infiniband is a high-speed networking technology commonly used in high-performance computing environments. Both of these MAC layers provide alternative methods for transmitting data and have different features and capabilities compared to Ethernet.Rate this question:

How does Network resource management enables any organization to create OS-enforced network sharing policies?
-
Allows setting bandwidth limits on interconnects, and assigning CPU resource limits for servicing the interconnects
-
Allows setting bandwidth limits on NICs/VNICs, and assigning GLDv3 resource limits for servicing the NICs/VNICs
-
Allows setting bandwidth limits on VLANs, and assigning CPU resource limits for servicing the VLANs
-
Allows setting bandwidth limits on NICs/VNICs, and assigning CPU resource limits for servicing the NICs/VNICs
Correct Answer
A. Allows setting bandwidth limits on NICs/VNICs, and assigning CPU resource limits for servicing the NICs/VNICsExplanation
Network resource management enables any organization to create OS-enforced network sharing policies by allowing them to set bandwidth limits on NICs/VNICs and assign CPU resource limits for servicing the NICs/VNICs. This means that the organization can control the amount of network bandwidth that each NIC/VNIC can utilize, as well as allocate a specific amount of CPU resources for handling the network traffic. By doing so, the organization can ensure fair and efficient network sharing among different users or applications within the network.Rate this question:

All non-global zones including Solaris 10 zones can have its own exclusive IP stack using VNICs with the limitation of dedicating a physical NIC to a zone.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Non-global zones, including Solaris 10 zones, can have their own exclusive IP stack using VNICs without the limitation of dedicating a physical NIC to a zone. In Solaris 10, VNICs were introduced to allow zones to have their own virtual network interfaces, which can be configured with their own IP addresses and network settings. This allows for more flexibility in network configuration and eliminates the need to dedicate a physical NIC to each zone. Therefore, the correct answer is False.Rate this question:

Administrators can switch between automatic and manual networking by enabling Automatic or DefaultFixed network configuration profile, or by creating their own profile using which command line utilities? (2 correct answers)
-
Netadm
-
Dladm
-
Netcfg
-
Ifconfig
Correct Answer(s)
A. Netadm
A. NetcfgExplanation
Administrators can switch between automatic and manual networking by using the command line utilities netadm and netcfg. Netadm is a command line tool used to manage network profiles in Oracle Solaris. It allows administrators to enable or disable network profiles, switch between automatic and manual networking, and configure network interfaces. Netcfg is another command line utility that allows administrators to create and manage network profiles. It provides a flexible and customizable way to configure network interfaces and switch between different network configurations.

What is 'Link protection' used for?
-
Mechanism to enables guests to benefit from traffic isolation
-
Mechanism for preventing potentially malicious or misbehaving guest VMs from sending harmful packets to the network
-
Mechanism to grant exclusive access of a physical link or a Virtual NIC to a guest VM
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Mechanism for preventing potentially malicious or misbehaving guest VMs from sending harmful packets to the networkExplanation
Link protection is used as a mechanism for preventing potentially malicious or misbehaving guest VMs from sending harmful packets to the network. This feature ensures that the network remains secure and protected from any harmful activities or attacks that may be initiated by guest VMs. It helps to maintain the integrity and safety of the network environment by isolating and preventing any harmful traffic from reaching the network.Rate this question:

When is Oracle Solaris IP Filter, ipf used?
-
When link protection does not support inbound filtering or customizable filtering rules
-
To grant exclusive access of a physical link or a Virtual NIC to a guest VM
-
To prevent L2 frame spoofing
-
To generate any type of packet, non harmful ones
Correct Answer
A. When link protection does not support inbound filtering or customizable filtering rulesExplanation
Oracle Solaris IP Filter (ipf) is used when link protection does not support inbound filtering or customizable filtering rules. This means that when the existing link protection mechanisms or rules do not provide the necessary flexibility or control over inbound filtering, ipf can be used as an alternative solution. It allows for the customization of filtering rules to meet specific requirements and grant exclusive access to a physical link or Virtual NIC to a guest VM. It is also used to prevent L2 frame spoofing and can be used to generate any type of packet, including non-harmful ones.Rate this question:

-
OSI layer two technology that is used to create virtual subnetworks, allowing communication between attached nodes as if only a single subnetwork were in use
-
OSI layer two technology that is used to connect together separate layer 2 subnetworks, allowing communication between attached nodes to create multiple subnetworks.
-
OSI layer two technology that is used to connect together separate layer 2 subnetworks, allowing communication between attached nodes as if only a single subnetwork were in use
Correct Answer
A. OSI layer two technology that is used to connect together separate layer 2 subnetworks, allowing communication between attached nodes as if only a single subnetwork were in useExplanation
Bridging is an OSI layer two technology that connects separate layer 2 subnetworks, enabling communication between attached nodes as if they were in a single subnetwork. This technology eliminates the need for multiple subnetworks and simplifies communication between nodes.Rate this question:

Basic Ethernet bridging support has been added using which protocols? (2 correct answers)
-
Dynamic Data Exchange
-
User Datagram
-
TRILL
-
Spanning Tree
Correct Answer(s)
A. TRILL
A. Spanning TreeExplanation
The correct answer is TRILL and Spanning Tree. TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) is a protocol that enables Ethernet bridging in large networks. It allows for efficient forwarding of Ethernet frames across multiple links. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is another protocol used for Ethernet bridging. It prevents loops in the network by selectively blocking redundant links, ensuring a loop-free topology. Both TRILL and Spanning Tree are commonly used in Ethernet bridging to improve network performance and reliability.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements best describe 'IP Multipathing (IPMP)'? (2correct answers)
-
Applications need be aware that they are running on a system managed by IPMP
-
Provides transparent redundancy for IP level communications between the applications running on a system
-
Allows creating multiple paths to the first router
-
Assigns one of the interfaces to the VNICs and continually monitor the underlying interfaces to ensure IP traffic is incoming
Correct Answer(s)
A. Provides transparent redundancy for IP level communications between the applications running on a system
A. Allows creating multiple paths to the first routerExplanation
IP Multipathing (IPMP) provides transparent redundancy for IP level communications between the applications running on a system. This means that if one interface fails, the IPMP feature automatically switches the communication to another available interface without any interruption or awareness required from the applications. Additionally, IPMP allows creating multiple paths to the first router, which increases the reliability and availability of the network connection.Rate this question:

In order for incoming & outgoing traffic to be forward over an actual fabric, for example a network switch, the fabric must be configured to accept traffic from the specific VNICs of each individual VLAN.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because for incoming and outgoing traffic to be forwarded over a network switch, the fabric needs to be configured to accept traffic from the specific Virtual Network Interface Cards (VNICs) of each individual Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). This configuration ensures that the traffic is properly routed and delivered to the intended destinations within the network.Rate this question:
