Question 37
Users in a remote office report that corporate web server pages are taking a long time to load, whereas users in the main corporate office do not have any issues. Which of the following is the best metric for a network administrator to check?
Correct Answer: B
The best metric for a network administrator to check is hop-by-hop network latency. This is because network latency is the time it takes for a packet to travel from the source to the destination, and it affects the loading speed of web pages. Hop-by-hop network latency measures the latency between each pair of routers or switches along the network path, and it can help identify where the delay is occurring. By checking the hop-by-hop network latency, the network administrator can determine if the problem is caused by a slow or congested link, a misconfigured or faulty device, or a routing issue. Jitter is the variation in latency over time, and it affects the quality of voice and video applications. Jitter does not directly affect the loading speed of web pages, and it is not a useful metric for troubleshooting this issue. Server interface CRC errors are errors that occur when the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of a packet does not match the expected value, indicating data corruption. Server interface CRC errors can affect the reliability and integrity of data transmission, and they can be caused by faulty cables, connectors, or interfaces. Server interface CRC errors do not necessarily affect the loading speed of web pages, unless they are severe enough to cause retransmissions or packet loss. Server NetFlow data is data that is collected and analyzed by the NetFlow protocol, which monitors and reports on network traffic flows. Server NetFlow data can provide information on the volume, type, and direction of traffic that is sent or received by the server, as well as the source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocols. Server NetFlow data can help identify network usage patterns, trends, and anomalies, but it does not measure the latency or performance of the network.

Question 38
Which of the following TCP ports is used by the Windows OS for file sharing?
Correct Answer: C
Question 39
Which of the following most likely determines the size of a rack for installation? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: D,F
Question 40
A technician is assisting a user who cannot connect to a network resource. The technician first checks for a link light. According to troubleshooting methodology, this is an example of:
Correct Answer: A
Using a bottom-to-top approach means starting from the physical layer and moving up the OSI model to troubleshoot a network problem. Checking for a link light is a physical layer check that verifies the connectivity of the network cable and device.
