Correct!
description of observed symptoms

interpretation of observed symptoms

conclusions about observed symptoms

impact of observed symptoms on productivity

Refer to Chapter 2.

Question 10
1 / 1 pts
What is a situation where escalation of an issue is inadvisable?
Management has not been consulted.

Correct!
Escalation will slow the procedure.

The problem is actually a set of problems.

The problem has an impact on the performance of the entire network.

Solving the problem would showcase the skills and knowledge of the troubleshooter.
Refer to Chapter 2.

issue is not within the administrator's area of responsibility. What is the next step in the problem
solving process?
Correct!
Escalate.

Gather information.

Propose a solution.

Test a hypothesis.

Refer to Chapter 2.

Question 12
1 / 1 pts
After a proposed solution has been implemented, the network administrator realizes that new
problems have been introduced by the changes. What is the next step in the troubleshooting
process?
Propose a hypothesis.

Correct!
Execute the rollback plan.

Determine an appropriate workaround.

Escalate the problem to another department.

Refer to Chapter 2.

Question 13

1 / 1 pts

during a regularly scheduled maintenance window. After making the change, the administrator

Correct!
Rollback the change and resume the troubleshooting process.

Continue making changes until the symptoms disappear.

Leave the change in place and troubleshoot the new problems at a later time.
Gather information about the new problem and form a new hypothesis.

Refer to Chapter 2.
