Why is it important to review the results of an on-site survey report with the customer before beginning the network design? to inform the customer of how much time the upgrade will take to discuss the implementation schedule for the new equipment to verify that the report accurately describes the current network and any plans for expansion to review the new network design and discuss possible equipment upgrades and replacements Scoring Rule For: correctness of response 2 points for Option 3 0 points for any other option Max Value = 2 Earned Value = 2

Which two benefits can be gained by locating network equipment in a telecommunications closet, rather than in a user area?

In what two ways will entering into a managed service agreement with an ISP for a network upgrade affect the costs that are incurred by the customer? (Choose two.) Customer IT training costs will increase to enable operation of the new equipment. The cost of hardware repairs and support will become the responsibility of the customer. Network upgrade and maintenance costs will become predictable. Staffing costs will increase because the customer will need to hire additional IT staff to complete the upgrade. The company will not need to spend a large amount of money to purchase the equipment upfront.

What is the benefit for a company to use an ISR router? An ISR provides the functionality of a switch, router, and firewall in one device. ISRs use a PC operating system for routing traffic, thus simplifying configuration and management. An ISR is immune to security attacks by hackers and so replaces all other network security measures. ISRs make routing decisions at OSI Layer 7, thus providing more intelligence to the network than do other routers. Scoring Rule For: correctness of response 2 points for Option 1 0 points for any other option Max Value = 2 Earned Value = 2 It is said that the goal for availability of a communications system is "five-9s". What is meant by this? A down time of .00001% is unacceptable. A network needs to be available 99.999% of the time. Five percent of all network expense covers 99% of user requirements. The most critical time for network availability is from 9:00 to 5:00 p.m. five days a week. The best time to do maintenance on a network is from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. five days a week.
