To launch an Nginx image container, name it Web001, and expose port 8080 externally while mapping to port 80 inside the container, the administrator can use the command docker run -it -p 8080:80 --name Web001 nginx ©. This will create and start a new container from the Nginx image, assign it a name of Web001, and map port 8080 on the host to port 80 on the container. The other commands are not valid or do not meet the requirements. References:

The error indicates that X11 forwarding is not enabled. X11 forwarding allows graphical applications to be displayed on a remote system over an SSH connection. Enabling X11 forwarding in /etc/ssh/ssh_config and restarting the SSH service ensures that the necessary configuration is applied, allowing the administrator to open graphical applications remotely.

The Linux administrator should request the following types of DNS records from the DNS team:

A: This record type is used to map a hostname to an IPv4 address. The administrator needs four A records for devel.comptia.org, one for each IP address (5.5.5.1, 5.5.5.2, 5.5.5.3, 5.5.5.4). This will allow users to access the web servers by using the hostname devel.comptia.org instead of the IP addresses1.

CNAME: This record type is used to create an alias for another hostname. The administrator needs two CNAME records, one for dev.comptia.org and one for development.comptia.org, both pointing to devel.comptia.org. This will allow users to access the web servers by using any of these three hostnames interchangeably1.

NS: This record type is used to delegate a domain or a subdomain to another name server. The administrator needs one NS record for comptia.org, pointing to 5.5.5.254, which is the name server that hosts the records for the subdomain devel.comptia.org2. This will allow users to resolve the hostnames under comptia.org by querying the name server 5.5.5.2542.

The other record types are not relevant for the administrator’s task:

MX: This record type is used to specify the mail exchange server for a domain or a subdomain1. The administrator does not need this record type because the web servers are not intended to handle email traffic.

PTR: This record type is used to map an IP address to a hostname, which is the reverse of an A record1. The administrator does not need this record type because the web servers are not expected to be accessed by their IP addresses.

RRSIG: This record type is used to provide digital signatures for DNSSEC, which is a security extension for DNS that verifies the authenticity and integrity of DNS responses3. The administrator does not need this record type because it is not mentioned in the task requirements.

SOA: This record type is used to provide information about the authoritative name server and other parameters for a domain or a subdomain1. The administrator does not need this record type because it is usually created automatically by the name server software when a new zone file is created4.

TXT: This record type is used to store arbitrary text data that can be used for various purposes, such as SPF, DKIM, DMARC, etc1. The administrator does not need this record type because it is not related to the web server functionality.

SRV: This record type is used to specify the location and port number of a service that runs on a domain or a subdomain1. The administrator does not need this record type because the web servers use the standard HTTP port 80, which does not require an SRV record.

On RPM-based systems like Red Hat or CentOS, repository configuration is handled via yum or dnf. The main configuration file is /etc/yum.conf, while individual repository files are stored in /etc/yum.repos.d/. These files dictate where packages are fetched from.

"A service mesh controls the delivery of service requests in an application. Common features provided by a service mesh include service discovery, load balancing, encryption and failure recovery."

The technology that provides load balancing, encryption, and observability in containerized environments is service mesh. A service mesh is a dedicated infrastructure layer that manages the communication and security between microservices in a distributed system. A service mesh consists of two components: a data plane and a control plane. The data plane is composed of proxies that are deployed alongside the microservices as sidecar pods. The proxies handle the network traffic between the microservices and provide features such as load balancing, encryption, authentication, authorization, routing, and observability. The control plane is responsible for configuring and managing the data plane and providing a unified interface for the administrators and developers. A service mesh can help improve the performance, reliability, and security of containerized applications and simplify the development and deployment process. A service mesh is the technology that provides load balancing, encryption, and observability in containerized environments. This is the correct answer to the question. The other options are incorrect because they either do not provide all the features of a service mesh (virtual private network or overlay network) or are not a technology but a component of a service mesh (sidecar pod). References: CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 19: Managing Cloud and Virtualization Technologies, page 574.

The iptables -L output reveals that the default FORWARD chain policy is DROP, which blocks routed packets from being forwarded to the destination subnet.

B is correct: Setting the policy to ACCEPT allows packets to be forwarded.

Incorrect Options:

A: The route to 10.0.6.0/24 already exists.

C: firewalld is not running, and enabling it without rules may further restrict traffic.

D: Restarting the network service won't change firewall rules or fix the FORWARD chain issue.

A service mesh provides secure, encrypted communication between microservices in a Kubernetes environment. It also provides features like traffic management, observability, and load balancing at the network layer. The most popular service mesh implementations, such as Istio, handle security by enforcing mutual TLS (mTLS) encryption between services, ensuring data privacy and integrity.

The commands that can be used together to persistently enable IPv4 forwarding in one of the Linux systems are sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 and sysctl –p. The first command will use sysctl to write a new value (1) to the net.ipv4.ip_forward kernel parameter, which controls whether IP forwarding is enabled or disabled for IPv4. This will enable IP forwarding immediately without rebooting. However, this change is temporary and will be lost after a reboot or a system reload. To make it permanent, we need to use the second command sysctl –p, which will load kernel parameters from /etc/sysctl.conf file. This file contains key-value pairs of kernel parameters and their values. To make sure that net.ipv4.ip_forward is set to 1 in this file, we can either edit it manually or append it using echo “net.ipv4.ip_forward=1” >> /etc/sysctl.conf.

The other options are not correct commands for persistently enabling IPv4 forwarding. The sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward command will only display the current value of net.ipv4.ip_forward parameter, but not change it. The echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward command will write 1 to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward file, which is another way to change net.ipv4.ip_forward parameter. However, this change is also temporary and will not survive a reboot or a system reload. The echo “net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=l” >> /etc/sysctl.conf command will append a line to /etc/sysctl.conf file that sets net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding parameter to 1. However, this parameter controls whether IP forwarding is enabled or disabled for IPv6, not IPv4. References: sysctl(8) - Linux manual page; Configure Linux as a Router (IP Forwarding)
