Question 13

Vic is investigating a suspicious system on his network and would like to determine the Internet

Protocol (IP) address associated with a known Media Access Control (MAC) address. What protocol can provide him with this information?

Question 14

A Trojan horse is an example of malicious software.

Question 15

Which of the following is true of IPv6?

Question 16

Through the use of protocols, dissimilar systems can communicate quickly, easily, and efficiently.
