    Which of the following files is used to resolve web site names (FQDN) to IP addresses in a Windows XP based computer when a WINS server is unavailable?

    • LMHOSTS

    • LMHOST.DAT

    • HOSTS

    • DSN.LOG

    Correct Answer
    A. HOSTS
    Explanation
    The HOSTS file is used to resolve web site names (FQDN) to IP addresses in a Windows XP based computer when a WINS server is unavailable. This file is a local text file that contains mappings of IP addresses to host names. When a user enters a web site name, the computer first checks the HOSTS file to see if there is a corresponding IP address. If there is, it uses that IP address to connect to the website. If not, it will then try to resolve the name using other methods such as DNS.

    The Recovery Console is a feature in Windows that allows users to repair their computer in the event of a system failure. It provides various tools and commands to troubleshoot and fix issues. However, one thing that is not possible with the Recovery Console is retrieving a forgotten administrative password. The Recovery Console does not have the capability to recover or reset passwords. This task requires separate tools or methods, such as using password reset disks or third-party software.

    To which of the OSI layers does Router belong?

    • Network Layer

    • Transport Layer

    • Data Link Layer

    • Application Layer

    Correct Answer
    A. Network Layer
    Explanation
    Routers belong to the Network Layer of the OSI model. The Network Layer is responsible for routing and forwarding data packets between different networks. Routers use network layer protocols, such as IP (Internet Protocol), to determine the best path for data packets to reach their destination. They examine the destination IP address in the packet's header and make decisions based on routing tables to forward the packet to the next hop on the network. Routers also perform functions like network address translation (NAT) and firewalling to enhance network security.

    What is the Port number of HTTPS?

    • 80

    • 443

    • 8013

    • 440

    Correct Answer
    A. 443
    Explanation
    HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is a secure version of HTTP that uses encryption to protect the communication between a web browser and a web server. The port number 443 is the designated port for HTTPS. When a user accesses a website using HTTPS, the web browser establishes a secure connection with the server on port 443, ensuring that the data transmitted between them is encrypted and secure from unauthorized access.

    A router:

    • Determines on which outgoing link a packet is to be forwarded.

    • Forwards a packet to all outgoing links.

    • Forwards a packet to the next free outgoing link.

    • Forwards a packet to all outgoing links, except the link upon which the packet originated.

    Correct Answer
    A. Determines on which outgoing link a packet is to be forwarded.
    Explanation
    A router determines on which outgoing link a packet is to be forwarded. This is because routers are responsible for directing network traffic to its intended destination. When a packet arrives at a router, it examines the packet's destination address and uses its routing table to determine the appropriate outgoing link for the packet. The router then forwards the packet to that outgoing link, ensuring that it reaches its intended destination efficiently.

    The Internet is an example of a:

    • Circuit switched network.

    • Packet switched network.

    • Cell switched network.

    Correct Answer
    A. Packet switched network.
    Explanation
    The Internet is an example of a packet switched network because it breaks data into small packets and sends them individually across the network. These packets can take different routes to reach their destination, and they are reassembled at the receiving end. This method allows for efficient use of network resources and enables data to be transmitted in a more flexible and reliable manner compared to circuit switched or cell switched networks.

    The TCP in TCP/IP stands for:

    • Transport Control Prototcol

    • Transmission Control Process

    • Transport Command Process

    • Transmission Control Protocol

    Correct Answer
    A. Transmission Control Protocol
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Transmission Control Protocol. TCP is a core protocol of the Internet protocol suite and it provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data between applications running on different hosts. It ensures that the data packets are transmitted in the correct order and without any errors. TCP is responsible for establishing and terminating connections between devices and it also handles flow control to prevent overwhelming the receiving device with too much data at once.
