CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 242

Joe, a user, reports intermittent connectivity issues, but a technician notices that the only time Joe has issues is when he is logged into the database. Losing connection after authenticating to a database, but still having access to network resources such as file/print services and email, would MOST likely be caused by:

Answer options

• A. an incorrect DHCP gateway setting
• B. a duplicate IP address
• C. NTP synchronization
• D. ACL configuration

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as Access Control List (ACL) configurations can restrict access to specific resources, like a database, while still allowing access to other network services. The other options would likely affect overall network connectivity rather than selectively impacting database access.
