Which of the following is an advantage of a network?

Resources (Hardware and Software) can be shared.

Networks are more expensive than stand-alone PCs.

Information on the network cannot be accessed by users.

Communication between users is less effective.

How does a network allow more effective communication between users?

By restricting access to information.

Why are networks considered cheaper than stand-alone PCs?

Because they allow resource sharing.

Because they require more hardware.

Because they do not allow resource sharing.

Because they restrict user access.

Who can access the information held on the network?

All users with authorized access.

Only the network administrator.

Which of the following is a disadvantage of a network?

The set-up and maintenance costs can be expensive.

Networks improve communication between users.

Networks allow for easy sharing of resources.

Networks increase the speed of data transfer.

What can a fault with the network server cause?

Difficulties with the organisation

Why do networks need security measures?

To increase the speed of data transfer

To reduce the cost of maintenance

What are the three main types of network topologies?

The Ring Network, The Bus Network, The Star Network

The Ring Network, The Mesh Network, The Star Network

The Bus Network, The Mesh Network, The Star Network

The Ring Network, The Bus Network, The Tree Network

What is a key characteristic of a Ring Network?

All computers are equally important

One computer is more important than the others

Computers are connected randomly

What is one advantage of a Ring Network?

The data flows around the network in one direction so it is fast.

There is reliance on a central computer.

What is one disadvantage of a Ring Network?

If one computer in the ring stops working, the whole network stops.

The data flows in multiple directions.

There is no reliance on a central computer.

Why might a Ring Network slow down?

Because there are a lot of users on the network.

Because the data flows in multiple directions.

Because there is reliance on a central computer.

Because it is expensive to expand.

Which of the following is NOT an advantage of a Ring Network?

If one computer in the ring stops working, the whole network stops.

The data flows around the network in one direction so it is fast.

There is no reliance on a central computer.

What is the main characteristic of the Bus (or line) Network topology?

Computers are connected like bus stops on a main road.

Computers are connected in a circular fashion.

Computers are connected in a hierarchical manner.

Computers are connected randomly.

In a Bus Network topology, how is the importance of each computer described?

All computers are equally important.

Some computers are more important than others.

The central computer is the most important.

Importance is determined by the distance from the main server.

What is one advantage of the Bus (Line) Network?

More computers can be added without disruption.

It is expensive as it uses a lot of cable.

The network will be fast with a lot of users.

Failure of the central cable will not affect the network.

What is one disadvantage of the Bus (Line) Network?

With a lot of users, the network will be slow.

It is cheap as it uses the least amount of cable.

More computers can be added without disruption.

What happens if the central cable fails in a Bus (Line) Network?

The network will continue to work.

More computers can be added without disruption.

The network will become faster.

Why is the Bus (Line) Network considered cheap?

It uses the least amount of cable.

It uses the most amount of cable.

It requires expensive hardware.

In a Star Network topology, how are computers connected?

Like a star to a central computer

What is one advantage of the Star Network topology?

If a cable fails, it will only affect one workstation.

It is less expensive as it uses the least cabling.

Failure of the central computer will stop the network from working.

What is one disadvantage of the Star Network topology?

It is more expensive as it uses the most cabling.

It is less expensive as it uses the least cabling.

More computers can be added without disruption.

It is less reliable than other topologies.

What happens if the central computer in a Star Network fails?

Only one workstation is affected.

The network continues to work without any issues.

Which of the following is true about adding more computers to a Star Network?

More computers can be added without disruption.

It is not possible to add more computers.

It requires replacing the central computer.

Why is it important to keep networks safe and secure?

Because they are almost vital to an organisation’s daily activities

Because they are used by everyone
