Which one of the following commands, when used in its default configuration, will display the last ten lines of a specified log file?A. Head B. Grep C. Tail D. Cat Correct Answer: C The head command is used to display the first lines of a file, not the last ten. Which makes it an incorrect answer. The tail command is used to display the last lines of a file. By default, it displays ten lines, although this value is adjustable, so tail is our correct answer here. The grep command is used to search a file and the cat command is used to display an entire file, which makes them both incorrect answers. Interested in more practice test questions?

Where would she most likely find this data? A. Hard Disc B. Firmware C. RAM D. Backups Correct Answer: B Network switches do not normally have hard disks and would not keep the operating system in volatile RAM storage where it would be deleted every time the switch was turned off. So neither of those are our correct answers here. Backups of the switch would normally only contain the switch's configuration information and would not include the operating system, so that is also incorrect. Most network devices keep their operating system in firmware, where it can be stored in a rapidly accessible, yet non-volatile form. That makes firmware our correct answer.

What command can he use to determine this information? A. Netstat B. Netcat C. Ipconfig D. Address Resolution Protocol(ARP) Correct Answer: C The ipconfig command (on Windows) and ifconfig command (on Linux) return information about the network interfaces on a device, including all assigned IP addresses, making it our correct answer here. The netstat command is used to display active network connections, so that is incorrect. The netcat command is used to send traffic to a network socket, making it another incorrect answer. The arp command is used to look up MAC addresses with the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), so it is not what we are looking for either. Interested in more practice test questions?
