(208) What topology offers centralized management of a network?
- A.
Bus.
- B.
Star.
- C.
Ring.
- D.
Radial.
Correct Answer
B. Star.Explanation
The star topology offers centralized management of a network. In a star topology, all devices are connected to a central hub or switch, which acts as a central point of control. This allows for easier management and troubleshooting of the network, as any changes or issues can be addressed at the central hub. Additionally, the star topology provides better performance and reliability compared to other topologies like bus or ring, as a failure in one device does not affect the rest of the network.Rate this question:
-

(208) What negative effect could occur when star networks are interconnected?
- A.
There are no negative effects.
- B.
A fault in network cabling will disrupt all communication.
- C.
Performance will suffer due to the load of the additional devices.
- D.
When the central node point fails, large portions of the network become isolated.
Correct Answer
D. When the central node point fails, large portions of the network become isolated.Explanation
When star networks are interconnected, they rely on a central node point to facilitate communication between the different networks. If this central node point fails, it can result in large portions of the network becoming isolated, meaning that communication between those isolated portions will be disrupted. This can lead to a significant negative effect on the overall network connectivity and functionality.Rate this question:

- C.
Combination of a port number and Internet Protocol (IP) address used by a process to request network services and passes as an argument between layers.
- D.
Preventer of network congestion by ensuring that transmitting devices do not overwhelm receiving devices data.
Correct Answer
C. Combination of a port number and Internet Protocol (IP) address used by a process to request network services and passes as an argument between layers.Explanation
A Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) socket is a combination of a port number and Internet Protocol (IP) address used by a process to request network services and passes as an argument between layers. This means that when a process wants to communicate over a network, it needs to specify a port number and an IP address to establish a connection with another process on a remote machine. The TCP socket acts as a unique identifier for the connection, allowing data to be sent and received between the two processes.Rate this question:

(211) What portion of the Internet Protocol (IP) Datagram (packet) allows IP to detect datagrams with corrupted headers and discard them?
- A.
Version Identification.
- B.
Header Checksum.
- C.
Time to Live.
- D.
Flags.
Correct Answer
B. Header Checksum.Explanation
The correct answer is Header Checksum. The header checksum is a field in the IP datagram that allows IP to detect datagrams with corrupted headers. It is a simple error-checking mechanism that calculates the checksum of the header and compares it with the received checksum. If the two values do not match, it indicates that the header has been corrupted during transmission and the datagram is discarded. This helps ensure the integrity of the IP packet and prevent the delivery of corrupted or tampered data.Rate this question:

In Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), an octet is a group of 8 bits. The maximum value that can be represented by 8 bits is 255. Therefore, the correct answer is 255.Rate this question:

(211) Which classes allow for a maximum of 254 hosts per network?
- A.
Class A address.
- B.
Class B address.
- C.
Class C address.
- D.
Class D address.
Correct Answer
C. Class C address.Explanation
Class C addresses allow for a maximum of 254 hosts per network. In Class C addresses, the first three octets are reserved for the network portion, while the last octet is used for host addressing. Since there are 8 bits in the last octet, it can accommodate a maximum of 2^8 - 2 = 254 hosts. Class A and Class B addresses have larger network portions, which reduce the number of available host addresses. Class D addresses, on the other hand, are used for multicast purposes and do not have a fixed number of hosts per network.Rate this question:

(211) What class is reserved for multicast addressing?
- A.
Class A address.
- B.
Class B address.
- C.
Class C address.
- D.
Class D address.
Correct Answer
D. Class D address.Explanation
Class D address is reserved for multicast addressing. Multicast addressing allows a single packet to be sent to multiple recipients simultaneously. Class D addresses range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 and are used for group communication. These addresses are not assigned to specific devices but are instead used to identify groups of devices that are interested in receiving multicast packets.Rate this question:

(212) What range of numbers are those of well know port numbers?
- A.
0–1023.
- B.
1024–49151.
- C.
49152–65535.
- D.
65536–87000.
Correct Answer
A. 0–1023.Explanation
The range of numbers that are well-known port numbers is 0-1023. Well-known port numbers are standardized numbers assigned to specific services or protocols. These port numbers are commonly used and recognized by most operating systems and network devices.Rate this question:

(213) What characteristic is the major difference between Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM)?
- A.
ROM is volatile, RAM in non-volatile.
- B.
ROM is non-volatile, RAM is volatile.
- C.
RAM has a slower access time versus ROM.
- D.
ROM has a slower access time versus RAM.
Correct Answer
B. ROM is non-volatile, RAM is volatile.Explanation
The major difference between Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM) is that ROM is non-volatile, meaning that it retains its data even when the power is turned off, while RAM is volatile, meaning that it loses its data when the power is turned off. This distinction is important because it determines whether the memory can store and retain data without a constant power source.Rate this question:

(213) What action is the main purpose of system cache?
- A.
Speed up system Read Only Memory (ROM).
- B.
Reduce hard drive (HDD) access time to stored data.
- C.
Reduce central processing unit (CPU) access time to stored data.
- D.
Reduce Random Access Memory (RAM) access time to stored data.
Correct Answer
C. Reduce central processing unit (CPU) access time to stored data.Explanation
The main purpose of system cache is to reduce the central processing unit (CPU) access time to stored data. The system cache stores frequently accessed data from the main memory, allowing the CPU to quickly retrieve this data instead of having to access it from the slower main memory. This helps to improve overall system performance by reducing the time it takes for the CPU to access data, resulting in faster processing speeds.Rate this question:
