CompTIA Updated N10-009 Exam Questions and Answers by cory

Elasticity is the ability of a system (often in cloud environments) to automatically scale resources up or down in real time based on demand.

A. Scalability means the ability to grow over time but not necessarily dynamically.

B. SaaS is a service model, not a resource-allocation concept.

C. Hybrid cloud is a deployment model, not a performance behavior.

Twinaxial (Direct Attach Copper / DAC) cables can plug directly into QSFP ports without needing separate optical transceivers. They are cost-effective for short-distance, high-speed connections (commonly in data centers).

A. Multimode fiber requires SFP/QSFP transceivers to convert electrical signals to optical.

C. RG11 is coaxial cable for broadband/cable TV, not used in QSFP ports.

D. Category 6 is twisted-pair Ethernet cabling, not directly compatible with QSFP ports.

A full-tunnel VPN forces a remote user’s traffic—including access to public internet resources—to traverse the corporate VPN tunnel and egress from the organization’s network. This is commonly required to ensure consistent enforcement of corporate security controls such as web filtering, IDS/IPS inspection, DLP policies, logging, and access control. In Network+ terms, full-tunnel VPNing routes the user’s default gateway through the VPN, meaning both internal traffic (to corporate subnets) and external traffic (to internet destinations) is sent through the encrypted tunnel.

By contrast, a split-tunnel VPN (not listed) would send only corporate-bound traffic through the VPN while allowing internet traffic to go directly out the user’s local ISP—reducing corporate bandwidth usage but also reducing centralized inspection and control. Clientless VPN usually refers to browser-based access to specific internal applications without a full network tunnel for all traffic. Site-to-site VPN connects entire networks to each other (e.g., branch office to HQ) rather than an individual remote user. SSE (Security Service Edge) is a cloud security framework/service model, not the classic VPN configuration described in the question. Hence, full-tunnel is the correct answer.
