    What type of address is the following? 20:B9:F1:63:2F:FB

    • IP Address

    • MAC address

    • TCP/IP

    • HTTP

    Correct Answer
    A. MAC address
    Explanation
    The given address "20:B9:F1:63:2F:FB" is a MAC address. MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications at the data link layer of a network segment. It is used to uniquely identify devices on a local network. IP address is used to identify devices on a network at the internet layer, TCP/IP is a protocol suite used for internet communication, and HTTP is a protocol used for transferring hypertext over the internet.

    Identify the type of topology from the following: "In  this topology, each node is connected with the help of a single coaxial cable."

    • Star topology

    • Bus topology

    • Tree topology

    • Ring topology

    Correct Answer
    A. Bus topology
    Explanation
    The given description states that each node is connected with the help of a single coaxial cable. This is a characteristic of a bus topology, where all nodes are connected to a central cable. In a bus topology, data is transmitted in both directions along the cable, and each node receives the data and determines if it is intended for them.

    Most common communication protocol on the internet that ensures end-to-end communication is called what?  

    • TCP/IP

    • FTP

    • HTTP

    • SLIP/ppp

    Correct Answer
    A. TCP/IP
    Explanation
    TCP/IP is the most common communication protocol on the internet that ensures end-to-end communication. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is responsible for breaking data into packets and reassembling them at the destination, while IP (Internet Protocol) is responsible for addressing and routing these packets across the network. Together, TCP/IP provides a reliable and efficient method for data transmission over the internet, making it the standard protocol for internet communication. FTP (File Transfer Protocol), HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), and SLIP/ppp (Serial Line Internet Protocol/Point-to-Point Protocol) are also used for specific purposes, but they do not provide the same level of end-to-end communication as TCP/IP.

    • Network Address

    • NIC addresss

    • MAC Address

    • IP Address

    Correct Answer
    A. IP Address
    Explanation
    The correct answer is IP Address. An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network. It consists of four parts separated by periods and is used to identify and locate devices on the internet. IP addresses allow devices to communicate with each other and enable data transfer across networks.

    Two neighborhood schools at a distance of 120 m from each other have decided to join their LANs using        UTP cable so that they can share their E-Learning resources. But after joining their LANs, they are not able to share the resources due to loss of signal in between. Which device should they use so that signal is amplified in between?

    • NIC

    • HUB

    • Repeater

    • Router

    Correct Answer
    A. Repeater
    Explanation
    A repeater should be used to amplify the signal between the two neighborhood schools. A repeater is a device that regenerates and amplifies the signal, allowing it to travel further without loss. By using a repeater, the schools can overcome the loss of signal and successfully share their E-Learning resources.

    Identify the following: A device that converts data from a digital bit stream into an analog signal and vice-versa.

    Correct Answer
    Modem
    Explanation
    A modem is a device that converts data from a digital bit stream into an analog signal and vice-versa. It is used to transmit data over telephone lines by converting digital signals from a computer into analog signals that can be transmitted over the phone line, and then converting the analog signals back into digital signals at the receiving end. This allows for the transmission of data between computers over long distances using existing telephone infrastructure.

    Identify the following. - ProProfs

    Identify the following.

    Correct Answer
    Coaxial cable
    Explanation
    A coaxial cable is a type of electrical cable that has an inner conductor surrounded by a tubular insulating layer, which is then surrounded by a tubular conducting shield. This design allows the cable to transmit signals with minimal interference and loss of signal quality. Coaxial cables are commonly used in telecommunications, cable television, and computer networks to transmit data and video signals.

    Joy wants to upload and download files from/to a remote Internet server. Write the name of relevant communication protocols, which will let him do the same?

    • FTP

    • TCP/IP

    • HTTP

    • FTP,HTTP

    Correct Answer
    A. FTP,HTTP
    Explanation
    The relevant communication protocols that will allow Joy to upload and download files from/to a remote Internet server are FTP and HTTP. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is specifically designed for transferring files between a client and a server on a computer network. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is the protocol used for transmitting hypertext over the internet, which includes the ability to download files. By using both FTP and HTTP, Joy will have the necessary protocols to perform file transfers in both directions.

    The management wants that the network traffic should be minimized for this, which network device would you suggest?

    Correct Answer
    Router
    Explanation
    A router is the most suitable network device to minimize network traffic. Routers are designed to efficiently direct network traffic between different networks, such as local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). They use routing tables to determine the best path for data packets to reach their destination, which helps to optimize network traffic flow. Additionally, routers can also implement network segmentation by creating separate subnets, which can further reduce unnecessary network traffic by limiting broadcasts and isolating network segments.
