220-1101 Exam Dumps - CompTIA A+ Certification Exam: Core 1

SSH (Secure Shell) encrypts data communications for secure remote login and management of network devices, ensuring all console connections are encrypted.

Why Not B (LDAP): LDAP is used for directory services and does not encrypt by default.

Why Not C (FTPS): FTPS encrypts file transfers, not console communications.

Why Not D (SMTP): SMTP is used for email transmission, not for securing login sessions.

CompTIA A+ Exam Reference: Core 1 (220-1101), Section 2.7, network security protocols​.

D. POST Code Beeps:

During the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS performs checks on system hardware, including RAM. If the RAM is faulty, POST may produce a series of beep codes indicating memory issues.

These beep codes are often the first sign of RAM-related problems, especially if the BSOD occurs randomly.

Incorrect Options:

A. Wrong BIOS configurations: Incorrect BIOS settings may cause boot errors, but they are less likely to cause random BSODs.

B. Continuous reboots: Continuous reboots could result from multiple hardware or software issues but do not specifically point to RAM.

C. Distended capacitors: Faulty capacitors typically affect the motherboard, not the RAM.

To allow multiple users to print to networked printers:

Printer shares enable users to access printers shared on the network.

Print servers manage print jobs and provide centralized control of printing.

Why Not B (DHCP server): DHCP is unrelated to print management.

Why Not D (Printer subnet): Subnets group devices but don’t manage printing.

Why Not E (SMB configuration): SMB is for file sharing, not specifically print management.

Why Not F (Printer Wi-Fi settings): These settings are irrelevant since the printers use Ethernet.

CompTIA A+ Exam Reference: Core 2 (220-1102), Section 4.6, printer configuration​.

When multiple RAM modules with different speeds are installed in a system, the system will default to the speed of the slowest module to maintain reliability and stability. In this case:

The system contains two DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500) modules and one DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) module.

The slowest RAM speed is DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500), and the system will run all memory modules at this speed to prevent timing mismatches and data corruption.

Key Concepts:

Backward Compatibility: RAM modules with higher speeds can operate at lower speeds when mixed with slower modules.

Reliability vs. Performance: Operating all modules at the slowest speed ensures stability, especially when modules have different specifications.

A loopback plug allows a technician to verify that the cable functions as expected by looping the signal back for testing. While a punchdown tool installs cables in a panel, it does not test functionality, and Wi-Fi analyzers and toner probes serve other network diagnostics. This is in line with CompTIA A+ Core 1 objectives for validating cable installation and connectivity.

A syslog server collects and stores log data from various network devices and systems.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network service used to automatically assign IP addresses and other network configuration details (such as subnet masks and default gateways) to devices on an enterprise-wide network.

Why Not A (DNS): DNS resolves domain names to IP addresses but does not allocate IP addresses.

Why Not B (Syslog): Syslog is used for logging system events, not IP address management.

Why Not C (Telnet): Telnet is a protocol for remote access, not for IP allocation.

CompTIA A+ Exam Reference: Core 1 (220-1101), Section 2.6, DHCP concepts​.

VGA (Video Graphics Array) cables transmit analog video signals only and do not carry audio signals. When a user connects a laptop to an audiovisual system using a VGA cable, the lack of audio is due to VGA's inability to transmit sound. Switching to an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable, which supports both audio and video signals, will most likely resolve the issue by enabling the transmission of sound to the audiovisual system alongside the video.
