Explanation

The correct answer is "a. Physical". Physical topology refers to the physical arrangement of devices and media in a network. It describes how the devices are connected to each other and how they are physically located in the network. This includes the layout of cables, switches, routers, and other hardware components. Logical topology, on the other hand, refers to how data flows in a network and is independent of the physical arrangement. Star and hybrid are types of physical topologies, but physical topology itself defines the layout of a network's devices and media.

Submit
56. (203) What Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol network layer protocol provides the service of matching a known IP address for a destination device to a Media Access Control address?

Explanation

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is responsible for mapping an IP address to a Media Access Control (MAC) address. When a device wants to send data to a destination device, it needs to know the MAC address of that device. ARP allows the device to send an ARP request to the network, asking for the MAC address associated with a specific IP address. The device with the matching IP address will respond with its MAC address, allowing the sender to establish a connection and send data. Therefore, ARP provides the service of matching a known IP address to a MAC address.

Submit
57. (205) What IPv4 class address is used for networks with about 250 nodes?

Explanation

Class C is the correct answer because it is specifically designed for networks with approximately 250 nodes. Class C addresses have a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which allows for 256 possible network addresses and 254 usable host addresses. This makes it suitable for small to medium-sized networks, such as home networks or small businesses, that require a moderate number of devices to be connected. Class D is used for multicast addresses, Class E is reserved for experimental purposes, and Class F is unassigned.

Submit
58. (205) What IPv4 class address is used for multicast addressing?

Explanation

IPv4 addresses are divided into different classes based on their range and purpose. Class D addresses are reserved for multicast addressing. Multicast addressing allows a single packet to be sent to multiple hosts simultaneously. This is useful for applications such as video streaming, online gaming, and audio conferencing, where data needs to be distributed to multiple recipients. Class C addresses are used for small to medium-sized networks, Class E addresses are reserved for experimental purposes, and Class F addresses are reserved for future use.

66. (206) Instead of using binary, how are IPv6 addresses expressed to be more user-friendly?

Explanation

IPv6 addresses are expressed in colon hexadecimal format to make them more user-friendly. In this format, the address is divided into eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons. This format allows for a larger address space and is easier to read and remember compared to binary representation. Dotted decimal notation, which is used for IPv4 addresses, is not suitable for IPv6 due to the significantly larger address space. Hexadecimal and octal are numerical systems used for representing numbers and are not specific to IPv6 addresses.

124. (216) Windows operating systems traditionally function in one of two network models. Which model does not operate using centralized user accounts?

Explanation

The correct answer is b. Domain. In a domain network model, centralized user accounts are used to manage access and permissions across multiple computers. This allows for easier administration and control of user accounts. In contrast, a workgroup network model does not use centralized user accounts. In a workgroup, each computer has its own separate user accounts and there is no central authority for managing access and permissions. Active Directory is a service provided by Windows Server that is used to manage and control domain networks. User Group is not a network model, but rather a way to organize users with similar permissions and access rights.

125. (211) What forwarding method is also known as runtless switching?

Explanation

Store-and-forward is the forwarding method that is also known as runtless switching. In this method, the switch receives the entire frame before forwarding it to the destination. It checks for errors and ensures that the frame is complete before forwarding it. This method is called runtless switching because it prevents runt frames, which are frames that are too short to be processed correctly, from being forwarded. The switch waits for the complete frame to arrive before making any forwarding decisions, ensuring reliable and error-free transmission.
