A company is setting up a temporary network for an event. They have a switch with 24 Ethernet ports, 4 SFP ports, and a PoE budget of 370W. They need to connect 20 desktop computers, 10 IP phones, and 2 wireless access points. The IP phones and access points require PoE. What is the most efficient way to connect all devices?

Connect all devices to SFP ports using media converters.

Connect the IP phones to the desktops and use a single Ethernet port for each pair.

Connect the desktops to Ethernet ports and the PoE devices to PoE-enabled Ethernet ports.

Use a separate PoE injector for each PoE device and connect all devices to standard Ethernet ports.

What is the purpose of an SFP port on a network switch?

To provide a dedicated console connection for out-of-band management

To allow the switch to connect to different types of media by using interchangeable modules

To connect a USB flash drive for firmware updates

To supply power to IP cameras and wireless access points

A company is deploying IP cameras and VoIP phones across a large office. The network switch has a limited PoE budget. The administrator must prioritize power delivery to critical devices. Which approach should the administrator take to ensure the most critical devices receive power?

Connect all devices to standard Ethernet ports and use separate power supplies.

Configure PoE priority settings on the switch ports to prioritize critical devices.

Use fiber optic ports with PoE injectors.

Disable PoE on non-critical ports to save power.

A network administrator is at a remote site and needs to recover a router that has lost its configuration and is not reachable over the network. The router has a console port, a USB port, and Ethernet ports. The administrator has a laptop with a USB-C port and a USB-A port. Which method should the administrator use to access the router's CLI?

Connect an Ethernet cable from the laptop to the router's Ethernet port and use SSH

Connect a USB-C to USB-B cable to the router's USB console port

Insert a USB flash drive with a startup configuration into the router's USB port

Connect a USB-A to RJ45 console cable to the router's console port

A network technician is at a remote branch office and needs to upgrade the firmware on a router. The router has an available USB port, a console port, and several Ethernet ports. The technician has a USB flash drive with the firmware file. Which method should the technician use to update the firmware?

Use the USB port to provide console access instead

Connect a laptop to the console port and transfer the firmware via XMODEM

Connect a laptop to an Ethernet port and use TFTP to transfer the firmware

Insert the USB flash drive into the USB port and copy the firmware from it
