Question 27
An OS X Mountain Lion computer is connected to both an Ethernet and a Wi-Fi network. How can you specify which interface the Mac will use to access the Internet?
Correct Answer: B
By using the Set Service Order action to move the preferred interface to the top of the Service Order list, the Mac will prioritize that interface for accessing the internet. This means that when the computer needs to connect to the internet, it will first try to use the preferred interface before considering the other interfaces. This allows the user to specify which interface the Mac will use to access the internet, ensuring a consistent and desired connection.
Question 28
Which statement about Gatekeeper is TRUE?
Correct Answer: B
The correct answer is that only administrator users can bypass Gatekeeper. This means that standard users do not have the ability to bypass or disable Gatekeeper, and neither do root users. Gatekeeper is a security feature in macOS that helps protect users from downloading and installing malicious software. It verifies the digital signatures of applications and allows only those from identified developers or from the App Store to run by default. However, administrator users have the option to override Gatekeeper's settings and run applications from any source if they choose to do so.
Question 29
You are configuring an OS X Mountain Lion computer that will be located in a public space. You want anyone to be able to log in and use Safari, but you do NOT want their Safari browser history to remain on the computer after users log out.
Correct Answer: A
Enabling the Guest account for login allows anyone to log in and use Safari without needing a personal account. The Guest account is a temporary account that does not save any data, including browser history, after users log out. This ensures that the Safari browser history will not remain on the computer, maintaining privacy for users.
