A network administrator needs to connect two routers in a point-to-point configuration and
conserve IP space. Which of the following subnets should the administrator use?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Using a /30 subnet mask is the most efficient way to conserve IP space for a point-to-point connection between two routers. A /30 subnet provides four IP addresses, two of which can be assigned to the router interfaces, one for the network address, and one for the broadcast address. This makes it ideal for point-to-point links where only two usable IP addresses are needed.Reference: CompTIA Network+ study materials and subnetting principles.
Question 2
A client wants to increase overall security after a recent breach. Which of the following would be best to implement? (Select two.)
Correct Answer: A, C
Explanation:
To increase overall security after a recent breach, implementing least privilege network access and central policy management are effective strategies. Least Privilege Network Access: This principle ensures that users and devices are granted only the access necessary to perform their functions, minimizing the potential for unauthorized access or breaches. By limiting permissions, the risk of an attacker gaining access to critical parts of the network is reduced. Central Policy Management: Centralized management of security policies allows for consistent and streamlined implementation of security measures across the entire network. This helps in quickly responding to security incidents, ensuring compliance with security protocols, and reducing the chances of misconfigurations. Network Reference: CompTIA Network+ N10-007 Official Certification Guide: Discusses network security principles, including least privilege and policy management. Cisco Networking Academy: Provides training on implementing security policies and access controls. Network+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide: Covers strategies for enhancing network security and managing policies effectively.
