Which network address below is not a private IP address network?

The management in your corporate office want to group users on the network together logically even though they are attached to separate network switches. How can this be done?

What type of monitoring compares network traffic, activities, transactions, or behavior against a database of known attack patterns?

An administrator has two servers that host the same web content, but only one server is utilized at a given time. What can be configured to make use of both servers in a manner that is transparent to the end users?

A load balancer that works with the File Transfer Protocol is operating at what layer of the OSI model?

What layer of the OSI model is responsible for permitting two parties on a network to hold ongoing communications across the network?

What technology enables authorized users to use an unsecured public network, such as the Internet, as if were a secure private network?

The OSI model breaks networking steps down into a series of six layers.

What is the name for an instruction that interrupts a program being executed and requests a service from the operating system?

Behavior-based monitoring attempts to overcome the limitations of both anomaly-based monitoring and signature-based monitoring by being more adaptive and proactive instead of reactive

The standard TCP/IP protocol uses IP addresses which are how many bytes in length?

Defense in depth, or layered security, involves the use of multiple types of network hardware within a network.​

When a private network uses a single public IP address, and each outgoing TCP packet uses a different port to allow for proper translation, what networking technology is in use?

What kind of networking device forwards packets across different computer networks by reading destination addresses?

A server that routes incoming requests to a specific destination server, and acts as the final destination IP for all client access, is known as a:

Security is enhanced by subnetting a single network into multiple smaller subnets in order to isolate groups of hosts.

A web server must be accessible to untrusted outside users. What can be done to isolate this host and any additional hosts with similar requirements from more secured hosts on a network?

Which of the following is not a component of an IP packet that a firewall rule can use for filtering purposes?
