A user in a large office calls technical support to complain that a PC has suddenly lost connectivity to the network. The technician asks the caller to talk to nearby users to see if other machines are affected. The caller reports that several immediate neighbors in the same department have a similar problem and that they cannot ping each other. Those who are seated in other departments have connectivity. What should the technician check as the first step in troubleshooting the issue?
the power outlet to the PC that is used by the caller
the cable connection between a PC and a network outlet that is used by a neighbor
the cable that connects the PC of the caller to the network jack
the status of the departmental workgroup switch in the wiring closet*
the trunks between switches in the wiring closet -
A user reports that after an OS patch of the networking subsystem has been applied to a workstation, it performs very slowly when connecting to network resources. A network technician tests the link with a cable analyzer and notices that the workstation sends an excessive number of frames smaller than 64 bytes and also other meaningless frames. What is the possible cause of the problem?
corrupted application installation
cabling faults
corrupted NIC driver*
Ethernet signal attenuation -
An administrator is troubleshooting an Internet connectivity problem on a router. The output of the show interfaces gigabitethernet 0/0 command reveals higher than normal framing errors on the interface that connects to the Internet. At what layer of the OSI model is the problem likely occurring?
Layer 1
Layer 2*
Layer 3
Layer 4
Layer 7 -
A group of Windows PCs in a new subnet has been added to an Ethernet network. When testing the connectivity, a technician finds that these PCs can access local network resources but not the Internet resources. To troubleshoot the problem, the technician wants to initially confirm the IP address and DNS configurations on the PCs, and also verify connectivity to the local router. Which three Windows CLI commands and utilities will provide the necessary information?
(Choose three.)
ping*
arp -a
netsh interface ipv6 show neighbor
nslookup*
tracert
ipconfig*
telnet -
Users report that the new web site http://www.company1.biz cannot be accessed. The helpdesk technician checks and verifies that the web site can be accessed with http://www.company1.biz:90. Which layer in the TCP/IP model is involved in troubleshooting this issue?

application
network access
internet -
A networked PC is having trouble accessing the Internet, but can print to a local printer and ping other computers in the area. Other computers on the same network are not having any issues. What is the problem?
The PC has a missing or incorrect default gateway.*
The link between the switch to which the PC connects and the default gateway router is down.
The switch port to which the PC connects has an incorrect VLAN configured.
The default gateway router does not have a default route. -
The newly configured ASBR that connects a company to the Internet has a default route configured and has the default-information originate command entered. Devices connected through this router can access the Internet. The problem is that no other OSPF routers have a default route in the routing table and no other users throughout the organization can access the Internet. What could be the problem?
The ASBR should use the exit_interface argument instead of next-hop on the default route.
The ASBR does not have OSPF configured.
The ASBR does not have an OSPF neighbor.*
The other routers are not configured to accept LSA type 4s. -
An internal corporate server can be accessed by internal PCs, but not by external Internet users that should have access. What could be the issue?
