A network technician is investigating why a core switch is logging excessive amounts of data to the syslog server. The running configuration of the switch showed the following logging information:
Which of the following changes should the technician make to BEST fix the issue?
Correct Answer:
D
The logging level is set to debugging, which is the most verbose and detailed level of logging. This means that the switch will send a lot of information to the syslog server, which can cause excessive network traffic and storage consumption. To fix the issue, the technician should adjust the logging level to a lower value, such as informational or warning, which will reduce the amount of data logged

A Wi-Fi network was originally configured to be able to handle interference from a microwave oven. The microwave oven was recently removed from the office. Now the network administrator wants to optimize the system to maximize the range of the signal. The main sources of signal degradation are the numerous cubicles and wooden walls between the WAP and the intended destination. Which of the following actions should the administrator take?
Correct Answer:
D
- the microwave was already removed from the office
- the signal is OK now
- Notice that the question mentions "numerous cubicles and wooden walls" - meaning the signal now won't have the interference as before
- KEY POINT: the admin wants to "maximize the range of the signal:"
Manually change the frequency to 2.4 GHz for more reliable speeds and range. While 5 GHz gives you a stronger signal, it doesn't travel through walls or ceilings as well, so it doesn't give you the best range.
"Microwave ovens: Older microwave ovens, which might not have sufficient shielding, can emit relatively high-powered signals in the 2.4GHz band, resulting in significant interference with WLAN devices operating in the 2.4GHz band."

A security administrator is trying to prevent incorrect IP addresses from being assigned to clients on the network. Which of the following would MOST likely prevent this and allow the network to continue to operate?
Correct Answer:
A
To prevent incorrect IP addresses from being assigned to clients on the network and allow the network to continue to operate, the security administrator should consider configuring DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) snooping on the switch. DHCP snooping is a security feature that is used to prevent unauthorized DHCP servers from operating on a network. It works by allowing the switch to monitor and validate DHCP traffic on the network, ensuring that only legitimate DHCP messages are forwarded to clients. This can help to prevent incorrect IP addresses from being assigned to clients, as it ensures that only authorized DHCP servers are able to provide IP addresses to clients on the network.
