A. Hot
B. Cold
C. Colocated
D. Warm
Show Answer

Question 34
A security analyst completed a port scan of the corporate production-server network. Results of the scan were then provided to a systems administrator for immediate action. The following table represents the requested changes:
The systems administrator created local firewall rules to block the ports indicated above. Immediately, the service desk began receiving calls about the internet being down. The systems administrator then reversed the changes, and the internet became available again. Which of the following ports on DNSSrv must remain open when the firewall rules are reapplied?
A. 20
B. 21
C. 22
D. 23
E. 53
Show Answer
Correct Answer: E
Explanation: DNSSrv must keep port 53 open for DNS queries. Blocking it prevents clients from resolving domain names, making internet access appear unavailable.
Question 35
Following a recent power outage, a server on a server farm has been running slowly. A technician receives a ticket with a request to check for anything out of the ordinary. The technician sees an orange light on the front console of the server, indicating an error. Which of the following should the technician check next?
A. CPU
B. Power supply
C. RAM
D. RAID battery
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: A failed or depleted RAID controller battery after a power outage can disable write-back caching, significantly reducing disk performance and triggering an amber/orange hardware alert. Check the RAID battery first.
Question 36
A technician is setting up a small office that consists of five Windows 10 computers. The technician has been asked to use a simple IP configuration without manually adding any IP addresses. Which of the following will the technician MOST likely use for the IP address assignment?
A. Static
B. Router-assigned

Question 37
A storage administrator is configuring a new array to provide storage to a virtual cluster. The array has a built-in backup agent to allow data that is stored on the array to be backed up. The storage administrator wants the virtual cluster to use a file-based storage protocol so the backup agent can just back up the files that change and not the whole data store. Which of the following storage protocols should the administrator use?
A. iSCSI
B. FC
C. FCoE
D. NFS
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: NFS is a file-based storage protocol, allowing the array’s backup agent to work with individual files. iSCSI, FC, and FCoE provide block-based storage.
Question 38
While a technician is troubleshooting a performance issue on a database server, users are disconnected from the database. An administrator is asked to intervene and restore access. Which of the following steps should the administrator take first?
A. Revert any patches or updates on the server from the past 24 hours.
B. Reproduce the issue in a test environment and confirm the database fails in the same manner.
C. Perform a root cause analysis and report the issue to management.
D. Collect all logs from the system and review the actions the technician performed.
E. Perform a quick backup of the system to prevent any further issues.
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: Reviewing system logs and the technician’s recent actions is the best first step to identify what changed or caused the disconnection. Reverting updates or making other changes without evidence could worsen the issue; root-cause analysis and reporting come later.

D. Social engineering
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A
