A company is migrating a legacy application to the cloud. The application requires a specific operating system configuration and the IT team needs full administrative control over the operating system, including the ability to install custom software and configure kernel settings. The company wants to avoid upfront hardware costs and pay only for what they use. Which cloud service model BEST meets these requirements?
A company is migrating its on-premises infrastructure to a cloud provider. The IT team needs full control over the operating system, the ability to install custom applications, and the ability to configure network settings such as firewalls and subnets. They want to avoid managing the physical hardware. Which cloud service model BEST meets these requirements?
A company requires full control over the operating system and applications running on cloud servers. They want to provision virtual machines with their own custom images and manage all software updates themselves. The cloud provider is responsible only for the underlying physical hardware and hypervisor. Which cloud service model should the company use?
A company wants to deploy a custom web application. They need full control over the operating system, middleware, and runtime environment, but they do not want to manage the underlying physical hardware, such as servers, storage, and networking equipment. Which cloud service model BEST meets this requirement?
A company needs to deploy a cloud environment where the IT team can create virtual machines, configure virtual networks and firewalls, and install custom operating systems, all without managing any physical servers or networking hardware. Which cloud service model BEST meets these requirements?
A company wants to migrate its on-premises infrastructure to the cloud while retaining full control over network configuration, firewall rules, and security policies. The company does not want to manage physical servers, storage, or the underlying hypervisor. Which cloud service model BEST meets these requirements?
A company uses a cloud service that provides virtual machines. The company administrators have full control over the guest operating systems, install their own applications, and manage security patches and updates. The cloud provider is responsible for the underlying physical servers, storage, and networking. This scenario best describes which cloud service model?
A company hosts a critical application on two virtual machines located in different availability zones within the same cloud region. Both VMs are active and running simultaneously. The application is designed such that if one VM fails, the other continues serving traffic without any downtime. Which cloud concept does this configuration BEST demonstrate?
A company wants to migrate its internal web application to the cloud to reduce hardware maintenance costs and improve scalability. The IT team needs full control over the operating system and application software, but they want the cloud provider to manage the physical servers and virtualization layer. Which cloud service model best meets these requirements?
A company wants to deploy a custom web application in the cloud. They need full control over the operating system and software stack, including the ability to install and configure the web server, database, and security patches. They do not want to manage the underlying physical hardware or hypervisor. Which cloud service model best meets their requirements?
A systems administrator is migrating on-premises servers to a cloud environment. The administrator needs to ensure that the virtual machines in the cloud are isolated from each other by network segmentation but can communicate with specific on-premises servers through a secure encrypted tunnel. Which of the following should the administrator configure in the cloud?
A small office has a file server that is a virtual machine running on a Type 1 hypervisor. Users report intermittent connectivity to the file server. The technician has already verified the following: the physical network cables are intact, the switch ports are configured correctly, the host server's physical NICs are operating, and the VM's operating system shows no errors. The technician notices that the file server experiences brief packet loss when communicating with other VMs on the same host, but not when communicating with physical workstations. Which of the following should the technician investigate next?
A small business is migrating its on-premises file server to a cloud service. The company wants full control over the operating system, file-sharing permissions, and security settings, but does not want to manage the physical server hardware, storage arrays, or network infrastructure. Which of the following cloud service models BEST meets these requirements?
A technician is troubleshooting a desktop computer in a machine shop. The computer experiences intermittent network connectivity loss, specifically when a large electric motor on a nearby lathe is started. The link light on the network interface card (NIC) turns off during these events. The technician has already replaced the Ethernet cable with a shielded Cat6a cable and moved the computer to a different electrical circuit on a different breaker panel. The problem persists. Which of the following should the technician do NEXT?
A technician is setting up two virtual machines on a Type 1 hypervisor. The VMs need to communicate with each other using private IP addresses, and the traffic must remain within the physical host—it must not traverse the physical network. The hypervisor host is connected to the physical network via a single NIC. Which of the following should the technician configure to meet these requirements?
A technician is creating a local virtual machine for software testing. The VM must have isolated virtual networking and snapshots for rollback. Which host capability is most relevant?
A technician is installing network cabling for a new office. The office has a server room in the basement, and the technician needs to connect workstations on the 2nd floor, which is approximately 120 meters (394 feet) away. The required bandwidth is 1 Gbps. Which cabling type should the technician use?
Watch out for
Common Networking exam traps
- ▸Answering from memory before reading the full scenario.
- ▸Missing a constraint such as cost, availability, security, scope or command context.
- ▸Choosing a broad answer when the question asks for the most specific fix.
- ▸Ignoring why the wrong options are tempting.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the 220-1101 exam test about Networking?
- Networking questions test whether you can apply the concept in context, not just recognise a definition.
- How should I use these practice questions?
- Select your answer before revealing the explanation. Then read why each option is right or wrong — this active recall approach builds retention far faster than re-reading notes.
- Can I practise just Networking questions in a focused session?
- Yes — the session launcher on this page draws every question from the Networking domain. Use a 10-question session first to gauge your baseline, then move to 20 or 30 once the weak spots are clear.
- Where can I practise other 220-1101 topics?
- Use the topic links above to move to related areas, or go back to the 220-1101 question bank to see all topics.
- Are these real exam questions or dumps?
- These are original practice questions written to test the same concepts the 220-1101 exam covers. They are not copied from any real exam or dump site.
