A new building needs to be joined to an existing network, but management has decided that running fiber is too expensive. Since the buildings are about 1000ft
(305m) apart, the IT department has been asked to propose alternatives. Which of the following is the BEST device to add to each building to facilitate the extension of the network while meeting budgetary demands?
In a scenario where the buildings are about 1000 feet apart and laying fiber is deemed too expensive, the best alternative is to use wireless technology. PRP wireless, which stands for Parallel Redundancy Protocol wireless, can provide a reliable network connection over this distance without the need for extensive cabling. This option would meet the budgetary constraints and facilitate the extension of the network effectively.
the correct answer is (E) a hammer - it fixes everything... including the guys who wrote these qestions.
The given answer is correct, but only because every other answer does not make sense. This may be a question in the exam that is not weighted and simply used for calibration and statistic purposes. Realistically, fiber or a series of repeaters would be suitable for this scenario.
want to see your comment on all questions.
I selected D only because everything else did not make sense. I have no clue what PRP wireless is....
Doesn't switch makes you sense? Switches are used to segment the cable where distance is limited.
is PRP wireless in network+ objectives?
Nope. I believe CompTia can get away with these questions because they assume you have work knowledge or something like that.
The answer is A. You should be able to extend a Ethernet segment by installing a switch every 100m. Switches regenerate the signal and some models have built-in internal repeaters.
Thats kind of true, but try installing a switch in the middle of a parking lot.
Bro, if fiber is too expensive for the company, what makes you think getting switches are any cheaper? LOL
Maybe its just a mistake and should be PTP wireless? Seems the most likely situation to me.
Probably is PTP wireless
media converter
(Per Wikipedia) - Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) is a network protocol standard for Ethernet that provides seamless failover against failure of any network component. This redundancy is invisible to the application. PRP nodes have two ports and are attached to two separated networks of similar topology. PRP can be implemented entirely in software, i.e. integrated in the network driver. Nodes with single attachment can be attached to one network only. This is in contrast to the companion standard HSR (IEC 62439-3 Clause 5), with which PRP shares the operating principle. Honestly, I don't remember learning about this anywhere in any of the Network+ resources I have accessed, and it's not on the Network+ Exam Objectives. I guess if you see it, and don't know the answer, consider making this your answer, because I haven't seen it as a wrong answer anywhere else, either. This shit just came out of the blue...
PRP allows a data communication network to prevent data transmission failures by providing two alternate paths for the traffic to reach its destination. from (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/outdoor_industrial/iw3702/technote/b_prp_dg.html) So, it should not be PRP wireless. I think it's C, media converter. With media converter you would not have to use fiber optic cables through the buildings, , just to connect to separate locations
These kind of stupid questions are probably worth like 2 pts during the exam. They're just meant to rile you up.
isnt even in the exam objectives its a Cisco question
May i ask why in this situation, a router isn't a solution?
