    Study Notes

    RJ45 Connectors and Tools

    • A crimper is essential for attaching RJ45 connectors securely to patch cables.
    • A cable tester checks the functionality of a network cable but does not help with connector attachment.
    • A punchdown tool is used for terminating network cables in panels, not for patch cables.
    • A loopback plug tests network interfaces by simulating data traffic.

    VLANs and Network Segmentation

    • Virtual LANs (VLANs) segment a single switch into multiple logical networks.
    • VLANs create multiple broadcast domains, enhancing network performance and security.
    • They allow isolation of departments, applications, or users from one another.

    Corporate Smartphone Connectivity Issues

    • A smartphone without a SIM card cannot connect to cellular networks, losing cloud service access off-site.
    • Mobile Device Management (MDM) is not essential for basic connectivity.
    • Other common issues (S/MIME certificate corruption, Bluetooth errors) are less likely in this context.

    Hot-Swappable Components and RAM Replacement

    • Always verify that the operating system supports hot-swapping before replacing RAM in servers.
    • Hot-swappable RAM allows replacement without turning off the server, but OS compatibility is crucial.

    Data Access After Hardware Upgrade

    • To access data on an encrypted hard drive after replacing the motherboard, enable the TPM in BIOS.
    • The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is required for accessing encrypted keys.

    Wireless Technologies

    • 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) has the best range and throughput among wireless technologies listed, surpassing 802.11ac and older standards.

    Laser Printer Issues

    • Vertical streaks in laser printer output are usually caused by a damaged or worn-out photosensitive drum rather than other components.
    • To resolve ghost images on printed pages of a laser printer, the first action should be to clean the toner drums and rollers.

    Security Features Against Unauthorized Booting

    • Enable Secure Boot to prevent systems from booting unauthorized media like live Linux CDs.
    • Secure Boot verifies the digital signature of bootloaders, ensuring only trusted software runs at startup.

    Impact Printer Maintenance

    • Impact printers utilize ribbons for printing; faded output might indicate the ribbon needs replacement.
    • Common impact printers include dot matrix printers, which rely on ribbons for image production.

    Cloud Models and Data Retention

    • A hybrid cloud model combines on-site data with cloud storage, providing flexibility and improved security based on organizational needs.
    • Public clouds do not support on-site data retention as they store all data managed by third-party providers.
