In a ring network, every single node handles every packet and data travels from one node to another node.
Ring networks are the arrangement of the nodes of a communication network in which a ring is formed.
In moving the ring, each node connects to precisely two other nodes, thereby—through each node—forming one continuous pathway for signals.

What illustrates how data flows within a network?
-
Ringing
-
Nodes
-
Ranking
-
Logical topology
Correct Answer
A. Logical topologyExplanation
Logical topology refers to the way in which data flows within a network. It defines the path that data takes from one device to another and how devices are interconnected. It helps to illustrate the arrangement of devices, connections, and communication paths in a network. The other options, such as ringing, nodes, and ranking, do not specifically relate to the flow of data within a network.Rate this question:

What is a device used to attach multiple network stations in a star topology as a token ring network?
-
Tooling Unit
-
Media Access Unit
-
Toppling Unit
-
Ringing Unit
Correct Answer
A. Media Access UnitExplanation
A Media Access Unit is a device used to attach multiple network stations in a star topology as a token ring network. It is responsible for controlling the access to the network and passing a token between stations to allow them to transmit data. This unit ensures that only one station can transmit at a time, preventing data collisions and ensuring efficient communication within the network.Rate this question:

Which of these uses a special three-byte frame that travels around a logical ring of workstations?
-
Token ring
-
Node ring
-
Star network
-
Node ring
Correct Answer
A. Token ringExplanation
Token ring is the correct answer because it is a networking protocol that uses a special three-byte frame called a token to control access to the network. In a token ring network, workstations are connected in a logical ring, and the token circulates around the ring, allowing each workstation to transmit data when it receives the token. This ensures fair access to the network and prevents collisions.Rate this question:

What is the point where the telephone company network ends and connects with the on-premises wiring at the customer premises?
-
Entrance facilities
-
Star network
-
Star topology
-
Ring network
Correct Answer
A. Entrance facilitiesExplanation
Entrance facilities refer to the point where the telephone company network terminates and connects with the on-premises wiring at the customer premises. It is the physical location where the external network infrastructure meets the internal wiring of a building or property. This is where the telephone company's lines enter the customer's premises and are connected to the internal telephone system. It is an essential component in establishing communication between the telephone company's network and the customer's telecommunication equipment.Rate this question:

What is the placement of the various components of a network?
-
Physical topology
-
Network topology
-
Node ranking
-
Rank noding
Correct Answer
A. Physical topologyExplanation
Physical topology refers to the arrangement of the physical components of a network, such as computers, servers, switches, and cables. It determines how these components are physically connected and laid out within the network. This includes the placement of devices, the type of cables used, and the overall structure of the network. Physical topology plays a crucial role in determining the network's performance, scalability, and fault tolerance. It can be represented in various forms such as a star, bus, ring, or mesh topology.Rate this question:

In a star network, which of these acts as a conduit to transmit messages?
-
Centre node
-
Host
-
Ring
-
Centre hub
Correct Answer
A. Centre hubExplanation
In a star network, the centre hub acts as a conduit to transmit messages. The centre hub is the central point of connection for all the devices in the network. It receives messages from one device and transmits them to the intended recipient device. The centre hub ensures efficient communication by managing the flow of data and directing it to the appropriate destination.Rate this question:

Networking
Correct Answer
A. Network topologyExplanation
The term "network topology" refers to the arrangement or layout of the elements in a communication network. It describes how the devices (such as computers, routers, switches) are connected and how the data flows between them. Different types of network topologies include star, bus, ring, mesh, etc. "Network topology" is the correct answer as it directly addresses the arrangement of elements in a communication network.Rate this question:

Which is a cable that is run between floors in non-plenum areas?
-
Plenum cable
-
Star cable
-
Riser cable
-
Ring cable
Correct Answer
A. Riser cableExplanation
A riser cable is a cable that is run between floors in non-plenum areas. Plenum cable is used in plenum areas, which are spaces used for air circulation in buildings. Star cable and ring cable are not specific types of cables used for running between floors in non-plenum areas.Rate this question:

What is a computer or other device connected to a computer network called?
-
Host
-
Ring
-
Hub
-
Node
Correct Answer
A. HostExplanation
A computer or other device connected to a computer network is called a host. A host is a node on a network that can send, receive, or process data. It can be a computer, server, printer, or any other device that is connected to the network. The term "host" is commonly used in networking to refer to any device that participates in network communication.Rate this question:
