Topic #: 2
[All GSNA Questions]

You work as the Network Administrator for McNeil Inc. The company has a Unix-based network. You want to do RARP mapping from hardware mapping addresses to IP addresses. Which of the following Unix configuration files can you use to accomplish the task?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C, D

The getSession() method of the HttpServletRequest interface returns the current session associated with the request, or creates a new

session if no session exists. The method has two syntaxes as follows:

public HttpSession getSession(): This method creates a new session if it does not exist.

public HttpSession getSession(boolean create): This method becomes similar to the above method if create is true, and returns the

current session if create is false. It returns null if no session exists.

Answer B is incorrect. The getSession(false) method returns a pre-existing session. It returns null if the

client has no session

associated with it.

Answer A and E are incorrect. There is no such method as getNewSession() in Java.

/etc/dhcpd.conf is for DHCP, not RARP!

I definitely remember that /etc/motd is just a message file, so it can't be the right answer for RARP mapping.

I’m a bit confused; I thought /etc/ethers was for mapping hardware addresses, but I can't recall if it specifically handles RARP.

I remember practicing with DHCP configurations, and I feel like /etc/dhcpd.conf is more about assigning IPs rather than mapping them.

I think RARP mapping is related to the /etc/ethers file, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only one we need to consider.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. RARP is for mapping hardware addresses to IP addresses, so the /etc/ethers file sounds like the most likely option. I'll make sure to review that in the exam.

Ugh, I'm a bit confused by this question. I know Unix has a lot of different config files, but I'm not sure which one is used for RARP. Guess I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with RARP, but I think the /etc/ethers file might be the one to use for this task. I'll have to double-check that.

This seems like a straightforward question. I'm pretty confident I can find the right configuration file to do RARP mapping.

Okay, let me break this down step-by-step. The oplog is a special capped collection that records all data modification operations. The question is asking about the exact collection name, so I'll need to double-check my notes to make sure I get this right.

Okay, the key here is that the priority is determined by urgency and business impact, but I'm not sure if it's based on the SLA or what the SDA decides. I'll have to read the options closely.

The question mentions the "type of connection" as a factor, so I'm guessing the answer might depend on the specific configuration of the Direct Connect setup. I'll review the AWS documentation to see if I can find more information on that.

Alright, time to put on my network admin hat. /etc/ethers, of course! I remember learning about that back in the stone age of networking. At least it's not /etc/flintstones, am I right? Haha.

Wait, is this a trick question? I mean, who even uses RARP these days? I hope the exam isn't just trying to catch me out with outdated protocols. Oh well, I'll go with /etc/ethers and hope for the best.

Okay, let's see... /etc/dhcpd.conf is for DHCP, /etc/motd is just a message of the day, and /etc/exports is for NFS. So /etc/ethers has to be the correct answer. Easy peasy!
