Topic 5: Exam Pool E (NEW)
Users have been reporting slow network traffic in a branch office, and the technician needs CompTIA 220-1101 : Practice Test to determine if packet loss is occurring on the network. Which of the following would the technician most likely use to passively assess the network traffic issue?
A. Cable tester
B. Network tap
C. Wi-Fi analyzer
D. Toner probe
Explanation: A network tap (Test Access Point) is a device used for monitoring network traffic. It allows the technician to passively observe the traffic between two network nodes in real-time without introducing latency or affecting the network's performance. By using a network tap, the technician can analyze the data packets flowing through the network to identify if packet loss is occurring, which could be contributing to the slow network traffic in the branch office.
References: Network taps are widely recognized in the field of network troubleshooting and monitoring for their ability to provide a mirror of the traffic that can be analyzed for issues such as packet loss.
A SOHO user's network printer has been without power for the last few days. After turning the printer back on, the user cannot connect to it. Which of the following is the most probable cause?
A. The printer has a static IP address.
B. The printer has a dynamic IP address.
C. The printer has an APIPA.
D. The printer has a public IP address.
Which of the following devices is designed to monitor and filter incoming and outgoing network traffic?
A. Switch
B. Access point
C. Firewall
D. Hub
Explanation: A firewall monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on security rules, protecting the network from unauthorized access and threats.
✑ Why Not A (Switch): A switch connects devices within a network but does not
monitor or filter traffic.
✑ Why Not B (Access point): An access point provides Wi-Fi connectivity but does not filter traffic.
✑ Why Not D (Hub): A hub simply broadcasts data to all connected devices without filtering traffic.

A technician is configuring the router for a small business network. Which of the following settings should the technician configure first?
A. DHCP
B. UPnP
C. MAC filtering
D. VPN
Users working with large files back up the files to external hard drives. One user's files take longer to back up than other users' files. The user has tried backing up the files to other users' drives with the same results. Which of the following steps should the technician take first to correct this issue?
A. Replace the hard drive's USB cable.
B. Defragment the user's external hard drive.
C. Update the storage drivers on the user's system.
D. Instruct the user to compress the files.
Explanation: If a hard drive is heavily fragmented, file read/write operations can take significantly longer, causing slow backup speeds. Defragmenting the drive organizes the data for more efficient access.
✑ Why Not A (Replace the hard drive's USB cable): A faulty cable would typically
cause disconnections or errors, not just slower speeds.
✑ Why Not C (Update the storage drivers): This might help if the issue is with system drivers, but the described symptoms point to a fragmentation issue.
✑ Why Not D (Compress the files): Compression reduces file size but does not address the root cause of the slow backups.
