220-1101 Practice Test

Explanation: Windows Hello provides biometric authentication options, including facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, and iris scanning, aligning with the company’s requirement for biometric identification.
✑ Why Not A (BitLocker): BitLocker is for encrypting data, not biometric authentication.
✑ Why Not C (Defender): Windows Defender provides antivirus and security features, not biometric functionality.
✑ Why Not D (Trusted Platform Module): TPM is a hardware feature for secure cryptographic operations, not biometric authentication.
CompTIA A+ Exam Reference: Core 2 (220-1102), Section 2.5, Windows security features.

Explanation: Dropping a smartphone can damage the digitizer, which is the component responsible for sensing touch input. This can cause issues with tapping and swiping on the screen, as well as other touchscreen-related issues.

Explanation: For setting up a private network, the IP address range should be one that is reserved for private use. The range 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 falls within the set of IP addresses designated for private networks according to RFC 1918. This range is not routable on the public internet, making it ideal for a private network setup on a retail router.

Explanation: The 2. band is subdivided into up to 14 channels, spaced at 5 MHz intervals from 2412 MHz up to 2484 MHz. Wi-Fi requires bandwidth of approximately 20 MHz, not 5 MHz. Consequently, a site designer needs to choose the channels that do not overlap. On a WLAN where only the first 11 channels are available, channels 1, 6, and 11 can be selected as non-overlapping. Note: In the Americas, regulations permit the use of channels 1-11 only, while in Europe, channels 1-13 are permitted. In Japan, all 14 channels are permitted.

Explanation: A hybrid cloud is a cloud computing environment that combines on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud resources. This configuration allows organizations to deploy workloads and data in a way that optimizes performance, security, and cost management.
✑ Key Characteristics of a Hybrid Cloud:
Comparison to Other Options:
✑ A. Private Cloud: A private cloud is a dedicated environment for a single organization, either on-premises or hosted by a service provider. It does not include any public cloud integration, as seen in a hybrid model.
✑ C. Community Cloud: This model is shared among several organizations with similar requirements, typically for collaborative projects, and does not blend public and private infrastructure.
✑ D. Public Cloud: Resources are entirely hosted on a cloud provider’s infrastructure and are shared among multiple customers, lacking the private, dedicated resources of a hybrid setup. CompTIA A+ Exam Objectives References:
✑ 220-1101 (Core 1), Section 4.1 outlines various cloud-computing models, including private, public, hybrid, and community clouds.
✑ Hybrid cloud is explicitly described as an environment that mixes private and public resources to deliver flexible and scalable solutions.
