220-1101 Practice Test

Explanation: A router (option C) is a network device that is used to separate broadcast domains. A broadcast domain is a logical division of a computer network in which all nodes can reach each other by broadcast at the data link layer. Routers operate at the network layer of the OSI model and use routing tables to determine the best path for forwarding packets between different networks. By separating broadcast domains, routers can help to reduce network congestion and improve performance. When a router receives a broadcast packet on one of its interfaces, it does not forward the packet to any other interfaces. This means that only devices within the same broadcast domain as the sender will receive the broadcast packet.

Explanation: A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides secure remote access to network resources over the internet. WLAN provides local network access, SAN is for storage networks, and DHCP manages IP address allocation. CompTIA A+ Core 1 objectives emphasize VPN as a secure method for remote connectivity.

Explanation: If you want to install Windows 11 on a virtual machine using Hyper-V, you will have to use a “Generation 2” VM and enable the “trusted platform module” (TPM) and Secure Boot options. Otherwise, the OS won’t install.

Starting with Windows 11, Microsoft is changing the system requirement and making TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot a prerequisite to perform an in-place upgrade or clean install the new version on any device. This is in addition to the new 4GB of RAM and at least 64GB of storage.

Furthermore, Multithreading is not a requirement for hyper-v hosting.

To create virtual machines on a workstation, the technician needs to enable Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in the system BIOS. TPM is a hardware-based security feature that helps protect the system from unauthorized access and tampering. It is required for many virtualization technologies, including Hyper-V, VirtualBox, and VMware.

Explanation: The "Ease of Access" settings in Windows are designed to help make the computer more accessible to users with various needs. Among these settings, there are options to adjust mouse and cursor functionality, including the visibility and behavior of the cursor. Adjusting these settings can resolve issues related to cursor trails, making it a suitable first step in troubleshooting this specific problem.
