Which type of server would most likely be used first by a network client in a corporate environment?
- A.
DNS
- B.
DHCP
- C.
E-mail
- D.
FTP
- E.
Telnet
Correct Answer
B. DHCPExplanation
In a corporate environment, the most likely type of server to be used first by a network client would be DHCP. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is responsible for assigning IP addresses to devices on a network automatically. When a client connects to the network, it sends a DHCP request to obtain an IP address, subnet mask, and other network configuration information. This allows the client to quickly and efficiently connect to the network without manual configuration. DNS, e-mail, FTP, and Telnet servers may be used later for specific purposes, but DHCP is the initial server required for network connectivity.Rate this question:

Which protocol is used by FTP to transfer files over the Internet?
- A.
TCP
- B.
SMTP
- C.
UDP
- D.
SNMP
Correct Answer
A. TCPExplanation
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) uses the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) to transfer files over the Internet. TCP is a reliable and connection-oriented protocol that ensures the successful delivery of data packets between the FTP client and server. It establishes a connection, breaks the file into smaller packets, numbers them, and reassembles them at the destination. TCP also provides error checking, flow control, and congestion control mechanisms, making it suitable for file transfer applications like FTP.Rate this question:

Which protocols are TCP/IP application layer protocols? (Choose two.)
- A.
UDP
- B.
FTP
- C.
IP
- D.
SMTP
- E.
TCP
Correct Answer(s)
B. FTP
D. SMTPExplanation
FTP and SMTP are TCP/IP application layer protocols. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring files between a client and a server over a network. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for sending and receiving email messages. Both protocols operate at the application layer of the TCP/IP protocol suite, which is responsible for providing network services to applications. UDP, IP, and TCP are transport layer protocols, not application layer protocols. UDP is a connectionless protocol used for lightweight communication, IP is responsible for routing packets across networks, and TCP is a reliable, connection-oriented protocol used for establishing and maintaining network connections.Rate this question:

Which of the following are layers of the TCP/IP model? (Choose three.)
- A.
Application
- B.
Physical
- C.
Internet
- D.
Network Access
- E.
Presentation
Correct Answer(s)
A. Application
C. Internet
D. Network AccessExplanation
The TCP/IP model is a conceptual framework used to understand how data is transmitted over a network. It consists of four layers: Application, Transport, Internet, and Network Access. The Application layer is responsible for providing services to the end-user, such as email or web browsing. The Internet layer handles the routing of data packets across different networks. The Network Access layer deals with the physical transmission of data, including protocols for sending and receiving data on a specific network medium. Therefore, the correct answer is Application, Internet, and Network Access.Rate this question:

You are creating a network-based video game. What influences your decision about which transport protocol to use for the application?
- A.
UDP will not disrupt the game to retransmit dropped packets.
- B.
TCP provides extra acknowledgements that will ensure smooth video delivery.
- C.
Both TCP and UDP can be used simultaneously to ensure speed and guaranteed delivery.
- D.
Both TCP and UDP may slow transmission and disrupt game operation, so no transport protocol should be used.
Correct Answer
A. UDP will not disrupt the game to retransmit dropped packets.Explanation
The correct answer explains that UDP is a suitable choice for a network-based video game because it does not disrupt the game to retransmit dropped packets. This means that if a packet is lost during transmission, UDP does not attempt to resend it, allowing the game to continue without interruption. This is important for real-time applications like video games, where maintaining a smooth and uninterrupted gameplay experience is crucial. TCP, on the other hand, provides extra acknowledgements and ensures smooth video delivery but may introduce delays due to retransmissions. Therefore, UDP is a more suitable choice for a network-based video game.Rate this question:

Whenever e-mail clients send letters, what device is used to translate the domain names into their associated IP addresses?
- A.
Uniform Resource Locator
- B.
Network redirector server
- C.
SNMP server
- D.
DNS server
Correct Answer
D. DNS serverExplanation
A DNS server is used to translate domain names into their associated IP addresses. Domain names are human-readable addresses that are easier to remember and use than numeric IP addresses. When an email client sends a letter, it needs to know the IP address of the recipient's mail server. The DNS server acts as a directory, converting the domain name of the recipient's mail server into its corresponding IP address, allowing the email client to establish a connection and send the email successfully.Rate this question:

What client software enables logged in users to communicate with other logged in users in real time?
- A.
Blog
- B.
E-mail
- C.
Web mail
- D.
Instant messaging
Correct Answer
D. Instant messagingExplanation
Instant messaging is the correct answer because it allows logged in users to communicate with each other in real time. Unlike a blog or email, which are not designed for immediate communication, instant messaging provides a platform for instant back-and-forth conversations. Web mail, while it enables email communication, does not offer the same real-time interaction as instant messaging. Therefore, instant messaging is the most suitable client software for real-time communication between logged in users.Rate this question:

An Internet server is running both FTP and HTTP services. How does the server know which of these applications should handle an incoming segment?
- A.
The packet header identifies it as an HTTP or FTP packet.
- B.
The data in the segment is specially formatted for either HTTP or FTP.
- C.
The segment destination port number identifies the application that should handle it.
- D.
The source port number is associated with one of these well known server applications.
Correct Answer
C. The segment destination port number identifies the application that should handle it.Explanation
The segment destination port number identifies the application that should handle the incoming segment. Each application, including FTP and HTTP, has a specific port number associated with it. When a segment arrives at the server, the server checks the destination port number in the packet header to determine which application should handle it. If the destination port number matches the port number associated with FTP, the FTP service will handle the segment. Similarly, if the destination port number matches the port number associated with HTTP, the HTTP service will handle the segment.Rate this question:

- A.
Removes the IP header
- B.
Removes the TCP header
- C.
Passes data to the application layer
- D.
Removes the Ethernet header and trailer
Correct Answer
D. Removes the Ethernet header and trailerExplanation
When a device receives an Ethernet frame and recognizes the MAC address as its own, it needs to remove the Ethernet header and trailer in order to access the encapsulated data. The Ethernet header and trailer contain information necessary for transmitting the frame across the network, but once the frame reaches its intended destination, this information is no longer needed. By removing the Ethernet header and trailer, the device can extract the encapsulated data and pass it to the appropriate layers of the network stack for further processing.Rate this question:

What is an advantage of the use of layers in the OSI reference model?
- A.
It breaks network communications into larger parts.
- B.
It increases complexity.
- C.
It prevents changes in one layer from affecting other layers.
- D.
It requires the use of single-vendor equipment for hardware and software communications.
Correct Answer
C. It prevents changes in one layer from affecting other layers.Explanation
The advantage of using layers in the OSI reference model is that it prevents changes in one layer from affecting other layers. Each layer has a specific set of functions and responsibilities, and they communicate with each other through well-defined interfaces. This modular approach allows for easier troubleshooting, maintenance, and upgrades, as changes made to one layer can be isolated and do not impact the functionality of other layers. This also promotes interoperability, as different vendors can develop and implement their own solutions for each layer without affecting the overall network communication.Rate this question:
