Hub,Switch and Router

What is the primary purpose of a hub in a network?

• To route data packets to the internet

• To connect all network devices together on an internal network

• To store MAC addresses of devices

• To filter data based on IP addresses

Why is a hub considered not intelligent?

• Because it routes data based on IP addresses

• Because it can store MAC addresses

• Because it filters data to the correct port

• Because it rebroadcasts data to every port

What is a major difference between a hub and a switch?

• A switch can route data packets to the internet

• A switch rebroadcasts data to every port

• A hub can learn the physical addresses of devices

• A switch directs data packets to the intended destination port

What does a switch use to direct data packets correctly?

• IP addresses

• Router tables

• Broadcast signals

• MAC addresses

Why are switches preferred over hubs?

• Because they create more traffic on the network

• Because they use IP addresses to route data

• Because they can connect to the internet directly

• Because they reduce unnecessary network traffic

What is the function of a router in a network?

• To rebroadcast data packets to all connected devices

• To route or forward data from one network to another

• To connect internal network devices

• To store MAC addresses of devices

How does a router determine where to send a data packet?

• By checking the MAC address

• By storing the data in its table

• By rebroadcasting to all ports

• By inspecting the data's IP address

What makes routers essential for internet communication?

• They route data based on MAC addresses

• They broadcast data to every connected device

• They connect all network devices together

• They forward data to other networks based on IP addresses

What type of network device is used to create a local area network?

• Router

• Hub and Switch

• Modem

• Firewall

Why do hubs and switches not route data to the internet?

• Because they can only connect to routers

• Because they do not read IP addresses

• Because they only work with MAC addresses

• Because they are not intelligent devices
