FC0-U71 Practice Test 5 — 10 Questions

Question 1

Which TWO of the following are examples of volatile memory?

Accepted Answer

RAM. RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile because it requires constant electrical power to retain data; once the system is powered off, all stored information is lost. This characteristic makes RAM ideal for temporary storage of actively used data and program instructions during operation.

Answer

Hard Drive

Answer

SSD

Answer

ROM

Question 2

Which of the following is a primary advantage of using a database over a flat file system for storing customer records?

Accepted Answer

Supports simultaneous multi-user access. Databases support concurrent multi-user access with locking mechanisms, while flat files cannot handle simultaneous writes safely.

Answer

Simpler to set up and manage

Answer

Stores data in a non-structured format

Answer

No need for a query language

Question 3

A user reports that their laptop cannot connect to the corporate Wi-Fi. Other devices in the same area work fine. The network technician checks the laptop and sees that the wireless adapter is enabled and shows available networks, but the connection attempt to the corporate SSID fails with an authentication error. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

Accepted Answer

The pre-shared key is incorrect. The authentication error specifically indicates that the laptop failed to verify its credentials with the access point. Since the wireless adapter is enabled and the SSID is visible, the most common cause is an incorrect pre-shared key (PSK), which prevents the 4-way handshake in WPA2/WPA3 from completing successfully.

Answer

The MAC address is filtered on the access point

Answer

The DHCP lease has expired

Answer

The wireless adapter is disabled in Device Manager

Question 4

A user reports that the company's customer relationship management (CRM) application is slow after a recent network upgrade. What could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

The network firewall is blocking certain CRM traffic.. A network firewall can introduce latency or block traffic if its rules are misconfigured after an upgrade. If the CRM application relies on specific ports or protocols (e.g., HTTPS on TCP 443, or a proprietary port like TCP 8080), the firewall might be inspecting, throttling, or dropping packets, causing perceived slowness. This is a common post-upgrade issue when ACLs or stateful inspection rules change.

Answer

The application has too many users.

Answer

The user's password has expired.

Answer

The user is entering data too quickly.

Question 5

A small business owner wants to create a simple website to display business hours and contact information. The owner has no programming experience and needs to quickly update the content without learning code. A family member suggests using a content management system (CMS) like WordPress. Another suggests using a plain HTML file and editing it manually. The owner is concerned about both ease of use and security. Which solution best addresses the owner's needs while minimizing technical complexity?

Accepted Answer

Use a CMS because it provides a graphical interface for content updates.. A CMS provides a graphical interface for easy updates without coding, and with proper maintenance it can be secure. Plain HTML requires manual editing each time, which is not user-friendly. A static site generator still requires technical skills. Hiring a developer is expensive and adds complexity.

Answer

Hire a developer to create a custom application.

Answer

Use a plain HTML file because it does not require a database.

Answer

Use a static site generator but requires command line knowledge.

Question 6

A user connects to a website using its domain name. Which server translates that domain name into an IP address?

Accepted Answer

DNS server. DNS (Domain Name System) servers resolve domain names to IP addresses, enabling browsers to locate web servers.

Answer

Proxy server

Answer

Web server

Answer

DHCP server

Question 7

A user is troubleshooting a slow internet connection and has verified that the modem is working. The user suspects that the router is causing the issue. Which TWO of the following functions are typically performed by a home router? (Select TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Assigns IP addresses via DHCP. A home router typically performs NAT (Network Address Translation) to allow multiple devices to share a single public IP, and also provides DHCP to assign IP addresses to devices on the local network.

Answer

Translates domain names to IP addresses

Answer

Amplifies wireless signal

Answer

Converts ISP signal to digital

Question 8

Which THREE of the following are common types of network topologies? (Choose three.)

Accepted Answer

Star. Star, bus, and ring are three of the most common physical network topologies defined in networking standards. In a star topology, all devices connect to a central switch or hub, which manages traffic and isolates failures to individual links. Bus topology uses a single backbone cable with terminators at both ends, while ring topology passes data sequentially from one node to the next using a token-passing mechanism (e.g., Token Ring per IEEE 802.5).

Answer

Circle

Answer

Square

Question 9

A user downloads a free application from the internet that offers full functionality for a 30-day period. After 30 days, the user must pay to continue using it. Which license type does this describe?

Accepted Answer

Trial. Trial software (often called trialware) provides full functionality for a limited time, then requires payment. Shareware may have limited functionality or be fully functional for a trial period. Freeware is free forever, and open source is free and modifiable.

Answer

Open source

Answer

Freeware

Answer

Shareware

Question 10

Which TWO of the following are advantages of server virtualization? (Select TWO.)

Accepted Answer

Easier backup and recovery using snapshots. Server virtualization allows administrators to take snapshots of virtual machines (VMs) at a specific point in time. These snapshots capture the entire VM state, including disk, memory, and power state, enabling quick and consistent backup and recovery without the complexity of traditional physical server backups.

Answer

Increased security by isolating VMs

Answer

Eliminates the need for operating system licenses

Answer

Improved performance over physical servers
