CompTIA Updated N10-009 Exam Questions and Answers by harun

API gateways offer programmable control and real-time communication, commonly over HTTPS, which allows administrators to update and manage devices like access points remotely and efficiently.

From Andrew Ramdayal’s guide:

“APIs enable automation and real-time interaction with network devices via secure interfaces, often using HTTPS for encrypted communication and control.”

In a fiber patch panel, the SC (Subscriber Connector or Standard Connector) is commonly used because of its push-pull design and reliability in enterprise environments.

Breakdown of Options:

A. F-type – Used for coaxial cables (e.g., cable TV), not fiber.

B. RJ11 – Used for telephone lines, not fiber.

C. BNC – Used for coaxial connections, not fiber.

D. SC – ✅ Correct answer. A standard fiber optic connector used in patch panels.

It is common for an access port to have both a voice VLAN and a data VLAN. A voice VLAN separates voice traffic from regular data traffic, ensuring better quality and security for voice communications.

The correct answer is Static because static routes have a lower administrative distance (AD) than most dynamic routing protocols, giving them higher priority when a router selects routes for the same destination network. According to CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) routing objectives, administrative distance is used to determine the trustworthiness of a route source when multiple routing protocols provide a path to the same subnet. The lower the administrative distance, the more preferred the route.

By default, a static route has an administrative distance of 1, which is lower than OSPF (110) and BGP (20 for eBGP, 200 for iBGP). Because of this, when identical routes to a subnet exist from both static and dynamic sources, the router installs the static route in the routing table.

A default route (0.0.0.0/0) is only used when no more specific route exists and does not take precedence over specific static or dynamic routes.

Therefore, when building the routing table for a given subnet and comparing route sources, static routes take precedence due to their lower administrative distance.
