Identify one item or device required to set up a computer network
Explanation
To set up a computer network, one would require a hub, switch, bridge, router, server, workstation, or repeater. These devices play different roles in establishing and managing the network. A hub is a central connection point that allows multiple devices to be connected together. A switch is an intelligent device that directs network traffic to specific devices. A bridge connects multiple networks together. A router connects different networks and directs data packets between them. A server provides services and resources to other devices on the network. A workstation is a computer used by an individual for work. A repeater amplifies and extends the network signal.Rate this question:

The structure of telecommunication networks comprise of control plane, user plane and .........
Explanation
The structure of telecommunication networks consists of three main components: the control plane, the user plane, and the management plane. The control plane is responsible for establishing and maintaining connections between network devices, while the user plane is responsible for the actual transmission of data. The management plane, on the other hand, is responsible for the overall management and control of the network, including tasks such as configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Therefore, the correct answer is the management plane, which plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation and maintenance of telecommunication networks.Rate this question:

.................. cover a limited geographical area such as an office.
-
MAN
-
Internet
-
LAN
-
PAN
Correct Answer
A. LANExplanation
A LAN (Local Area Network) is a type of computer network that is designed to cover a limited geographical area, such as an office or a building. It allows multiple devices, such as computers and printers, to be connected and share resources within the same area. Unlike a WAN (Wide Area Network) or MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), a LAN is typically smaller in scale and is privately owned and operated. Therefore, the given answer, LAN, is the correct choice as it accurately describes a network that covers a limited geographical area like an office.Rate this question:

Which physical topology allows only one-way flow of data across the media?
-
Star
-
Bus
-
Ring
-
Mesh
Correct Answer
A. RingExplanation
A ring topology allows only one-way flow of data across the media. In a ring network, each device is connected to exactly two other devices, forming a closed loop. Data is transmitted in one direction around the ring, passing through each device until it reaches its destination. This ensures that data flows in a single direction, preventing collisions and ensuring efficient communication.Rate this question:

The transmission medium convert signal back into usable information
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The transmission medium does not convert signals back into usable information. Its main function is to carry the signals from the sender to the receiver without altering or converting them. The conversion of signals into usable information typically occurs at the receiving end, where the received signals are processed and interpreted by the appropriate devices or systems. Therefore, the given answer is false.Rate this question:

Wireless Network security implementation where the device cannot connect if its physical address is not added to the trusted list is known as....
-
SSID
-
WEP
-
MAC Filtering
-
WPA
Correct Answer
A. MAC FilteringExplanation
MAC Filtering is a wireless network security implementation where the device cannot connect if its physical address is not added to the trusted list. This means that only devices with specific MAC addresses are allowed to connect to the network, providing an additional layer of security by preventing unauthorized access. SSID refers to the network name, WEP and WPA are encryption protocols used to secure wireless networks.Rate this question:

Which of the following is/ are the drawbacks of Ring Topology?
-
Failure of one computer, can affect the whole network
-
Adding or removing the computers disturbs the network activity.
-
If the central hub fails, the whole network fails to operate. If the central hub fails, the whole network fails to operate. If the central hub fails, the whole network fails to operate. If the central hub fails, the whole network fails to operate.
-
Both of A and B
Correct Answer
A. Both of A and BExplanation
The correct answer is "Both of A and B". This means that both the failure of one computer affecting the whole network and the disturbance of network activity when adding or removing computers are drawbacks of Ring Topology. Additionally, if the central hub fails, the entire network fails to operate, which is another drawback of this topology.Rate this question:
