CompTIA N10-009 Practice Test 3

Question 20

A network team observes: A capture on an Ethernet segment shows a valid IP payload inside a frame with an unexpected destination MAC. What is the MOST appropriate corrective action or technical decision?

  1. Inspect the access VLAN port state and MAC-learning controls rather than changing IP routes.
  2. Standardize the negotiated character encoding and serialization format.
  3. Review the application session lifecycle and idle-timeout settings.
  4. Correct neighbor resolution or next-hop Layer 2 adjacency while retaining the intended IP destination.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Each hop changes link-layer encapsulation while the routed destination remains. The frame's next-hop destination is wrong even when the inner ip address is correct.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Inspecting the access VLAN port state and MAC-learning controls rather than changing IP routes would not correct neighbor resolution or next-hop Layer 2 adjacency while retaining the intended IP destination.

B:

Standardizing the negotiated character encoding and serialization format would not correct neighbor resolution or next-hop Layer 2 adjacency while retaining the intended IP destination.

C:

The frame's next-hop destination is wrong even when the inner IP address is correct.

Question 21

A network team addresses this situation: A capture on an Ethernet segment shows a valid IP payload inside a frame with an unexpected destination MAC. After the corrective action, which test or result BEST verifies that the problem is resolved?

  1. Inspect the Ethernet destination and IP destination at both sides of the router.
  2. Confirm MAC table learning and successful same-subnet frame exchange.
  3. Inspect the route table and trace packets through the expected next hop.
  4. Compare raw bytes and decoded text using the agreed Unicode encoding.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Per-hop captures distinguish link-layer forwarding from network-layer addressing.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Ethernet switching learns source MAC addresses from admitted frames on a forwarding VLAN port. That check cannot demonstrate correct Layer 2 next-hop resolution for the intended IP route.

C:

A matching route and progressing hops prove Layer 3 forwarding. That check cannot demonstrate correct Layer 2 next-hop resolution for the intended IP route.

D:

Matching decoding proves the presentation translation is consistent. That check cannot demonstrate correct Layer 2 next-hop resolution for the intended IP route.

Question 22

A network specialist investigates this evidence: A capture on an Ethernet segment shows a valid IP payload inside a frame with an unexpected destination MAC. Which underlying condition BEST explains the observed failure or requirement?

  1. The peers disagree on character representation.
  2. The frame's next-hop destination is wrong even when the inner IP address is correct.
  3. Network-layer forwarding has no route to the remote prefix.
  4. The data-link frame path is not being learned or forwarded.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

The frame's next-hop destination is wrong even when the inner IP address is correct. Each hop changes link-layer encapsulation while the routed destination remains.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Both endpoints must agree on character encoding for transmitted bytes to produce readable text. The missing change involves the frame's next-hop destination is wrong even when the inner IP address is correct.

C:

IP routing depends on a route to the destination prefix and a reachable next hop.

D:

The data-link frame path is not being learned or forwarded. The missing change involves the frame's next-hop destination is wrong even when the inner IP address is correct.

Question 23

A network team observes: Two departmental IP subnets cannot communicate because both end at one unmanaged Layer 2 switch without a gateway. What is the MOST appropriate corrective action or technical decision?

  1. Configure application-relevant health checks and remove failed targets automatically.
  2. Publish the application behind a hardened reverse proxy and block direct origin reachability.
  3. Provide a router or routed switch interface for each subnet with appropriate policy.
  4. Install an appropriately managed access switch and connect it to the existing uplink.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A bridge alone cannot route between different IP subnets. No layer 3 device forwards between the distinct ip networks.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Configuring application-relevant health checks and removing failed targets automatically would not provide a router or routed switch interface for each subnet with appropriate policy.

B:

Publishing the application behind a hardened reverse proxy and block direct origin reachability would not provide a router or routed switch interface for each subnet with appropriate policy.

D:

Installing an appropriately managed access switch and connecting it to the existing uplink would not provide a router or routed switch interface for each subnet with appropriate policy.

Question 24

A network team addresses this situation: Two departmental IP subnets cannot communicate because both end at one unmanaged Layer 2 switch without a gateway. After the corrective action, which test or result BEST verifies that the problem is resolved?

  1. Stop the application on one node and confirm new requests use healthy targets.
  2. Attempt the application through the proxy and directly to the origin.
  3. Confirm link negotiation and MAC learning for clients on different access ports.
  4. Verify each host's gateway and test a permitted inter-subnet route.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

A working Layer 3 path establishes correct routed connectivity.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A load balancer routes requests only to backends that satisfy its configured health checks.

B:

Success through proxy and denial direct to origin validate isolation. That check cannot demonstrate an authorized inter-subnet routed path.

C:

Learning multiple hosts proves the local switching function. That check cannot demonstrate an authorized inter-subnet routed path.

Question 25

A network specialist investigates this evidence: Two departmental IP subnets cannot communicate because both end at one unmanaged Layer 2 switch without a gateway. Which underlying condition BEST explains the observed failure or requirement?

  1. No Layer 3 device forwards between the distinct IP networks.
  2. Origin servers are unnecessarily exposed to direct internet access.
  3. Unhealthy backends remain eligible for traffic distribution.
  4. The office lacks sufficient local Layer 2 access ports.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

No Layer 3 device forwards between the distinct IP networks. A bridge alone cannot route between different IP subnets.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Unprotected origin servers are an inbound reverse-proxy exposure, not a failure of client outbound web filtering.

C:

Unhealthy backends remain eligible for traffic distribution. That does not establish no Layer 3 device forwards between the distinct IP networks.

D:

The office lacks sufficient local Layer 2 access ports. That does not establish no Layer 3 device forwards between the distinct IP networks.

Question 26

A network team observes: An office needs many wired workstations in one VLAN but has only a single available Ethernet uplink from the router. What is the MOST appropriate corrective action or technical decision?

  1. Configure application-relevant health checks and remove failed targets automatically.
  2. Install an appropriately managed access switch and connect it to the existing uplink.
  3. Use a suitably tuned inline intrusion prevention function for the attack path.
  4. Use a NAS file service with appropriate SMB or NFS access controls.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

A switch aggregates Ethernet hosts within a broadcast domain. The office lacks sufficient local layer 2 access ports.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Configuring application-relevant health checks and removing failed targets automatically would not install an appropriately managed access switch and connect it to the existing uplink.

C:

Using a suitably tuned inline intrusion prevention function for the attack path would not install an appropriately managed access switch and connect it to the existing uplink.

D:

Using a NAS file service with appropriate SMB or NFS access controls would not install an appropriately managed access switch and connect it to the existing uplink.

Question 27

A network team addresses this situation: An office needs many wired workstations in one VLAN but has only a single available Ethernet uplink from the router. After the corrective action, which test or result BEST verifies that the problem is resolved?

  1. Stop the application on one node and confirm new requests use healthy targets.
  2. Mount the shared directory from two authorized clients and test permissions.
  3. Confirm link negotiation and MAC learning for clients on different access ports.
  4. Send an authorized test signature and verify prevention plus an audit event.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Learning multiple hosts proves the local switching function.

Incorrect Answers

A:

A load balancer routes requests only to backends that satisfy its configured health checks. Verification of this result involves confirming link negotiation and MAC learning for clients on different access ports.

B:

Mount the shared directory from two authorized clients and test permissions. That check cannot demonstrate frame admission and MAC learning on the affected access port.

D:

A blocked test packet proves enforcement, not merely detection. That check cannot demonstrate frame admission and MAC learning on the affected access port.

Question 28

A network specialist investigates this evidence: An office needs many wired workstations in one VLAN but has only a single available Ethernet uplink from the router. Which underlying condition BEST explains the observed failure or requirement?

  1. Unhealthy backends remain eligible for traffic distribution.
  2. The workload requires file-level sharing rather than block storage presentation.
  3. Passive detection does not interrupt malicious flows.
  4. The office lacks sufficient local Layer 2 access ports.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The office lacks sufficient local Layer 2 access ports. A switch aggregates Ethernet hosts within a broadcast domain.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Unhealthy backends remain eligible for traffic distribution. That does not establish the office lacks sufficient local Layer 2 access ports.

B:

Both endpoints must agree on character encoding for transmitted bytes to produce readable text. That does not establish the office lacks sufficient local Layer 2 access ports.

C:

Passive detection does not interrupt malicious flows. That does not establish the office lacks sufficient local Layer 2 access ports.

Question 29

A network team observes: A sensitive service permits unsolicited inbound connections even though return traffic should remain allowed. What is the MOST appropriate corrective action or technical decision?

  1. Deploy stateful filtering allowing approved inbound sessions and their return traffic.
  2. Use a NAS file service with appropriate SMB or NFS access controls.
  3. Configure application-relevant health checks and remove failed targets automatically.
  4. Use a suitably tuned inline intrusion prevention function for the attack path.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

State tables distinguish established responses from unwanted new flows. The policy does not restrict new session initiation.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Using a NAS file service with appropriate SMB or NFS access controls would not deploy stateful filtering allowing approved inbound sessions and their return traffic.

C:

Configuring application-relevant health checks and removing failed targets automatically would not deploy stateful filtering allowing approved inbound sessions and their return traffic.

D:

Using a suitably tuned inline intrusion prevention function for the attack path would not deploy stateful filtering allowing approved inbound sessions and their return traffic.

Question 30

A network team addresses this situation: A sensitive service permits unsolicited inbound connections even though return traffic should remain allowed. After the corrective action, which test or result BEST verifies that the problem is resolved?

  1. Try an approved site and a blocked destination with a test user.
  2. Attempt a denied new session and confirm permitted reply packets still pass.
  3. Verify each host's gateway and test a permitted inter-subnet route.
  4. Mount the shared directory from two authorized clients and test permissions.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Negative and positive connection tests validate stateful filtering.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Try an approved site and a blocked destination with a test user. That check cannot demonstrate attempt a denied new session and confirm permitted reply packets still pass.

C:

A working Layer 3 path establishes correct routed connectivity. That check cannot demonstrate attempt a denied new session and confirm permitted reply packets still pass.

D:

Mount the shared directory from two authorized clients and test permissions. That check cannot demonstrate attempt a denied new session and confirm permitted reply packets still pass.
