CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 512

What are two functions of a server on a network? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. handles requests from multiple workstations at the same time
• B. achieves redundancy by exclusively using virtual server clustering
• C. housed solely in a data center that is dedicated to a single client achieves redundancy by exclusively using virtual server clustering
• D. runs the same operating system in order to communicate with other servers
• E. runs applications that send and retrieve data for workstations that make requests

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Option A is correct because a server indeed processes requests from multiple workstations concurrently. Option E is also correct as servers run applications that handle data requests from workstations. Options B and C are incorrect since redundancy can be achieved through various means, not exclusively virtual clustering, and C is misleading as it suggests a server's location limits its functionality. Option D is incorrect because servers may run different operating systems and still communicate effectively.
