NEW QUESTION # 34
Review the screenshot of part of a Network Utility window, and then answer the question below.
- A. A forward lookup of mainserver.pretendco.com returned the IP address 10.1.0.1.
- B. A reverse lookup of mainserver.pretendco.com returned the IP address 10.1.0.1.
- C. The DNS server for mainserver.pretendco.com is pretendco.com.
- D. A reverse lookup of 10.1.0.1 returned the name mainserver.pretendco.com.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The given answer is correct because it states that a reverse lookup of mainserver.pretendco.com returned the IP address 10.1.0.1. This means that when the DNS server received a request for the IP address associated with the hostname mainserver.pretendco.com, it was able to successfully retrieve the corresponding IP address, which is 10.1.0.1. This confirms that the reverse lookup functionality of the DNS server is working properly.

NEW QUESTION # 41
Which statement best describes how Time Machine stores files from an OS X Mountain Lion computer, when backing up to a directlyconnected FireWire hard disk drive?
- A. Each file is saved to the external hard disk once. File changes are stored in a database on the external hard disk.
- B. Each file is saved to the external hard disk once. Files that do not change between backups are represented by symbolic links to save space.
- C. Each file is rewritten to the external hard disk during each backup.
- D. Each file is saved to the external hard disk once. Files that do not change between backups are represented by hard links to save space.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Time Machine stores files from an OS X Mountain Lion computer by saving each file to the external hard disk once. To save space, files that do not change between backups are represented by hard links. This means that multiple references to the same file are created instead of duplicating the file itself. This efficient method helps to conserve storage space on the external hard disk.
NEW QUESTION # 42
How does OS X Mountain Lion handle third-party, 32-bit kernel extensions (KEXTs)?
- A. It prompts the user with an option to convert them to 64-bit.
- B. It runs them in compatibility mode.
- C. It ignores them.
- D. It moves them to /Library/Extensions/Disabled/.
Answer: A
Explanation:
OS X Mountain Lion handles third-party, 32-bit kernel extensions (KEXTs) by prompting the user with an option to convert them to 64-bit. This means that when the operating system detects a 32-bit KEXT, it notifies the user and gives them the choice to convert it to the 64-bit version. This is likely done to ensure compatibility and optimize performance, as 64-bit extensions are generally more efficient and capable than their 32-bit counterparts.

This ensures that the Safari browser history will not remain on the computer, maintaining privacy for users.

NEW QUESTION # 49
You are unable to connect to a web server from your OS X Mountain Lion computer. How can traceroute help you troubleshoot this issue?
- A. Traceroute can determine if the web server is configured correctly.
- B. Traceroute can determine if each of the reachable routers between your computer and the web server are responsive.
- C. Traceroute can determine if the DNS server is configured correctly.
- D. Traceroute can determine if the server that the web service is running on has a firewall.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Traceroute is a network diagnostic tool that can help troubleshoot connectivity issues. It works by sending out packets and recording the time it takes for each packet to reach the destination. By doing so, it can identify the routers that the packets pass through and measure their responsiveness. If there is a connectivity issue, traceroute can pinpoint the specific router that is causing the problem. Therefore, in this scenario, using traceroute can help determine if each of the reachable routers between the computer and the web server are responsive, potentially identifying the source of the connection problem.
