Post-Test (Mikrotik Basic)

Explain the concept of IP addressing and its importance in networking.

• IP addressing is essential for identifying devices on a network and enabling communication between them.

• IP addressing is only used for security purposes in networking.

• IP addressing is not necessary for devices to communicate on a network.

• IP addressing is primarily used for identifying devices on a network and enabling communication between them.

How can you configure SNTP on a Mikrotik device? Provide step-by-step instructions.

• Access 'Tools' -> 'SNTP' -> Add SNTP server -> Enter server IP -> Confirm settings.

• Go to 'IP' -> 'SNTP' -> Add SNTP server -> Enter server IP -> Reboot device.

• Navigate to 'Wireless' -> 'SNTP' -> Add SNTP server -> Enter server IP -> Apply changes.

• Log in to the Mikrotik router, go to 'System' -> 'SNTP' -> Add SNTP server -> Enter server IP -> Save settings.

What are the procedures for backing up the configuration on a Mikrotik router?

• Restart the router to create a backup

• Manually copy and paste the configuration into a text file

• Use the 'Export' feature in the 'Files' menu of the router's web interface.

• Use the 'Delete' feature in the 'Files' menu of the router's web interface

Describe the process of restoring Mikrotik settings from a backup file.

• Copy the backup file to a USB drive, insert it into the Mikrotik device, and automatically restore settings.

• Manually reconfigure all settings one by one based on the backup file content.

• Upload the backup file in 'Files', reset configuration to 'No Default Configuration', reboot, then restore backup from the uploaded file.

• Upload the backup file in 'Tools', reset configuration to 'Default Configuration', reboot, then restore backup from the uploaded file.

What are some common troubleshooting techniques for resolving SNTP issues on Mikrotik devices?

• Change the device's hostname

• Check SNTP server configuration, verify network connectivity, ensure correct time zone settings, update firmware if needed.

• Reboot the device

• Disable all firewall rules

Discuss different IP address management techniques used in networking.

• MAC address management

• DNS configuration

• Firewall rules management

• DHCP, static IP addressing, IP address reservation, subnetting, IP address tracking tools

What is the purpose of subnetting in IP addressing?

• Efficient utilization of IP addresses by dividing a larger network into smaller subnetworks.

• To improve network performance by increasing the speed of data transmission

• To increase network security by exposing fewer devices to the public network

• To simplify network management by reducing the number of devices connected

How does DHCP help in managing IP addresses in a network?

• DHCP randomly assigns IP addresses to devices in a network

• DHCP assigns IP addresses automatically to devices in a network, reducing manual configuration and managing available addresses efficiently.

• DHCP manually configures IP addresses for each device in a network

• DHCP limits the number of IP addresses available in a network

Explain the role of NAT in IP address translation.

• NAT translates IPv6 addresses to IPv4 addresses

• NAT is responsible for assigning static IP addresses to devices

• NAT is used to encrypt IP addresses for secure communication

• NAT plays a crucial role in translating private IP addresses to a public IP address for communication over the internet.

What are the benefits of using VLANs in network segmentation?

• Enhanced security, increased broadcast traffic, improved network performance

• Improved security, reduced broadcast traffic, enhanced network performance

• No impact on security, increased broadcast traffic, reduced network performance

• Decreased security, increased broadcast traffic, slower network performance
