network performance?

A. Remove NetBEUI from all stations.
B. Make NetBEUI the default protocol.
C. Change NetBEUI's configuration settings.
D. Change NetBEUI to the secondary protocol.

Question 6

You are the network administrator and your server is experiencing
sporadic crashes. The log files inform you the problem is related to
software. Other servers configured the same way are experiencing the
same problem. What should you do to fix the software problem?

A. Replace the server with a spare.
B. Check the network cable for breaks.
C. Check the hard drive with SCANdisk.
D. Check to see if there is a patch or update for the software.

Question 7

Your network is connected to the Internet. People transfer hundreds of

Question 9

You are troubleshooting a workstation that can't communicate with the
server. You have ruled out software problems. This workstation is the
farthest from the cabling closet and uses 10BaseT networking. Your
cable tester gives the length from wall jack to patch panel as 90
meters. There is a 10 meter patch cable from the workstation to the
wall, and a 3 meter patch cable from the patch panel to the hub.

Required result:
Get the workstation to communicate with the server.

Optional results:
Increase overall network performance.
Decrease network downtime.

Proposed solution:
Replace NIC with 100Base-F network card.

A. The proposed solution meets the required results only.
B. The proposed solution meets one of the optional results only.
C. The proposed solution meets both of the optional results only.
D. The proposed solution does not meet any required or optional results.
