As you may have already realized, this is a very complex technical question. Entry-level IT support professionals and the general public are likely not to understand the question or know the answer. In addition to reviewing the material you already know, it is advisable to review advanced material to be familiar with the concepts. If you don't know the answer to a question, you should admit this, followed by a statement describing how you would go about finding the information.

"I will be honest with you, this is not information I've come across in my previous positions. However, when presented with an issue that I'm not familiar with, I immediately researched the concept. This usually provides me with enough information to begin to resolve the issue. If this doesn't work, then I consult one of the more senior members of our team who usually knows the answer or can direct me where to find it."
