A switch that is used exclusively in data centers.

What is a managed switch?

A switch that offers advanced features

A switch that requires manual configuration for each connection.

A basic switch that cannot be configured.

A switch that does not provide any control or security features.

What is the function of a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch?

It provides power to connected devices via the Ethernet cable.

It provides a wireless connection to devices.

It increases the speed of the internet connection.

It encrypts data being transferred over the network.

What is the function of a router in a network?

To connect multiple networks and direct data between them

To provide a physical interface for transmitting data

To connect a single network to a device

To enable wireless connections only

Which of the following is a function of a NIC (Network Interface Card)?

To provide a physical interface for transmitting and receiving data over the network

To direct data between networks efficiently

To act as a wireless connection only

What is Network Topology?

The way that network components are connected to each other

The physical layout of a network

A tool used to manage network traffic

What is a characteristic of a Star Topology in network design?

Troubleshooting can be simplified due to the central hub.

Data does not pass through a central point.

It eliminates the possibility of a single point of failure.

Devices are connected in a linear sequence.

In a Star Topology, what can become a single point of failure?

Each individual device on the network.

The cables connecting the devices.

The decentralized nature of the network.

What is the primary characteristic of a Bus/Line Topology in network systems?

Devices are connected to a single communication line

Devices are connected to multiple communication lines for redundancy.

Devices are connected in a circular fashion to share data.

Devices are connected without any wires or physical communication lines.

Which of the following is a disadvantage of Bus/Line Topology?

It is prone to performance issues

It is very expensive to implement.

It requires a central server to manage the network.

How does data travel in a Bus/Line Topology?

Data travels along the bus, and each device processes only the data intended for it.

Data is transmitted wirelessly to each device.

Data is sent to a central device which then distributes it to the intended recipient.

Data is stored on the bus until a device requests it.

What is one of the benefits of using a Bus/Line Topology?

It is simple and inexpensive to implement.

It is highly secure and cannot be easily intercepted.

It automatically repairs itself if there is a break in the bus.

It can easily handle large volumes of traffic without any performance degradation.

How are devices connected in a ring topology?

Randomly without any specific order

In a ring topology, how does data travel between devices?

In one direction around the ring until it reaches its destination

In multiple directions simultaneously

Only to the central hub and then to the destination

Directly from source to destination without passing through other devices

What is a disadvantage of ring topology?

It can be disrupted if one device fails

It is less secure than other topologies

It does not allow for many devices to be connected

What is a characteristic of Mesh Topology?

Every device is connected to every other device

Devices are connected in a linear sequence.

Every device is connected to a central hub.

Data is transferred in a single direction from one device to the next.

What is one of the advantages of Mesh Topology?

It is the least expensive topology.

What is a disadvantage of Mesh Topology?

It is complex and expensive to implement.

It has low data transmission rates.

It cannot handle high volumes of traffic.

What does a Tree Topology combine to offer scalability and reliability in network structures?

The characteristics of star and bus topologies

The characteristics of mesh and ring topologies

The characteristics of hybrid and mesh topologies

The characteristics of ring and hybrid topologies

How are devices arranged in a Tree Topology?

Hierarchically with branches connecting to a main trunk

In a circular pattern with no central hub

Randomly with equal distances between all devices

In a single line with each device connecting to two other devices
