Free Access CompTIA 220-1101 New Release

The MX record is housed in the DNS (Domain Name System) which is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses and vice versa. The MX record specifies the mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a domain name and is a resource record in the DNS123.

A client-side hypervisor is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that resides in and virtualizes a user’s computer, allowing it to run multiple operating systems (or virtual machines) on shared hardware12. A client-side hypervisor can be useful for a software developer who needs to test an application in many environments, such as different versions of Windows, Linux, or Mac OS. By using a client-side hypervisor, the developer can switch between different virtual machines without rebooting the computer or using multiple physical devices3.

A network tap is a physical device that allows promiscuous monitoring of network traffic by creating a copy of the data packets for analysis. A toner probe is used to trace and identify cables. A Wi-Fi analyzer is used to measure wireless signal strength and interference. A loopback plug is used to test network ports or cables by sending and receiving signals from the same device. 

When installing RAM into a server that will be used as a VM host, it is recommended to install ECC (Error-Correcting Code) RAM to help prevent errors that can cause virtual machines to crash. References:

When installing RAM into a rackmount server that will be used as a VM host, it would be best to install ECC (Error Correcting Code) RAM which can detect and correct common types of data corruption.
