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.
