    What does LAN stand for?

    • Logical Analogue Network

    • Local Access Network

    • Local Area Network

    Correct Answer
    A. Local Area Network
    Explanation
    LAN stands for Local Area Network. This is a computer network that connects devices within a limited area such as a home, office, or building. It allows for the sharing of resources such as files, printers, and internet connections among connected devices. LANs are typically faster and more secure than wide area networks (WANs) as they cover a smaller geographic area.

    What is a network?

    • One computer

    • Two or more computers

    • A series of telephone lines

    Correct Answer
    A. Two or more computers
    Explanation
    A network refers to a group of two or more computers that are connected and can communicate with each other. This allows for the sharing of resources, such as files and printers, and enables users to access information and services from other computers within the network. By connecting computers together, a network facilitates communication and collaboration between users, making it easier to share information and work together efficiently.

    Why is a ring network so fast?

    • High speed cables

    • Top of the range computers

    • Data travels in only one direction

    Correct Answer
    A. Data travels in only one direction
    Explanation
    A ring network is fast because data travels in only one direction. This eliminates the need for collision detection and allows for simultaneous data transmission, resulting in increased efficiency and speed. With data flowing in a single direction, there is no need for data packets to wait for their turn, reducing latency and improving overall network performance.

    What are the three main types of topology?

    • LAN, WAN and MAN

    • Bus, Ring and Star

    • LAN, Ring and Star

    Correct Answer
    A. Bus, Ring and Star
    Explanation
    The three main types of topology are bus, ring, and star. In a bus topology, all devices are connected to a single cable, forming a linear network. In a ring topology, devices are connected in a circular manner, where each device is connected to two other devices. In a star topology, all devices are connected to a central hub or switch, creating a centralized network. These three types of topology are commonly used in computer networks to establish the physical layout and connectivity between devices.

    What is the main problem with large networks?

    • Logging on

    • Sharing information

    • Viruses

    Correct Answer
    A. Viruses
    Explanation
    The main problem with large networks is the risk of viruses. Large networks are more susceptible to virus attacks due to the sheer number of devices connected to the network. Viruses can spread quickly and cause significant damage, compromising the security and functionality of the entire network. It becomes challenging to control and contain the spread of viruses in large networks, making it a major problem that needs to be addressed.
