220-1101 Leak Questions

Mobile Device Management (MDM) enables administrators to enforce controls on enterprise devices, such as restricting apps, ensuring compliance, and remotely managing security policies.

Why Not B (MFA): Multi-Factor Authentication secures user access but does not control device configurations.

Why Not C (VPN): VPN secures communication but does not enforce device controls.

Why Not D (SSL): SSL secures data in transit but does not provide device management.

Before creating a virtual machine (VM) on a computer, it's crucial to ensure that the CPU supports virtualization and that this feature is enabled in the BIOS (or UEFI) settings. While sufficient RAM and hard drive space are also important for running VMs effectively, and compatibility with the graphics card might be a consideration for VMs with intensive graphical requirements, the foundational step is to verify that the CPU supports virtualization and that this feature is activated in the BIOS settings. This is because virtualization technology, often referred to as VT-x (on Intel CPUs) or AMD-V (on AMD CPUs), is a prerequisite for running most virtualization software efficiently.

The CMOS battery powers the real-time clock (RTC) on the motherboard, which maintains the date and time when the computer is turned off. If the battery fails, the system will lose date and time settings, reverting to defaults on restart.

Why Not A (OS updates): While OS updates can sometimes cause time issues, they don’t typically affect changes persisting after shutdown.

Why Not C (NTP server): An incorrect NTP server setting would cause the system to synchronize incorrectly, but this issue relates to time resetting during power-off.

Why Not D (RAM): RAM is volatile memory and unrelated to storing persistent time settings.

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is used to logically segment a network, even though devices are physically connected to the same infrastructure. This allows administrators to separate traffic, improve security, and enhance network management without requiring additional hardware. VLANs are configured through network switches and allow for different devices to communicate as if they were on separate physical networks, even though they share the same physical wiring.

C. VLAN: VLANs provide logical segmentation of networks, allowing groups of devices to be separated despite being connected to the same physical network infrastructure.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. WLAN: Wireless LAN refers to a wireless network and is not specifically used for logical segmentation.

B. VPN: Virtual Private Network creates secure connections over a public network, such as the internet, but it does not provide logical segmentation of a local network.

D. MAN: Metropolitan Area Network is a type of network that spans a city or large campus but does not deal with logical segmentation on a local scale.

This concept is part of the Networking domain, specifically focusing on VLANs, in the CompTIA A+ Core 1 exam​.
