Ethernet Quiz

What is 'Ethernet'?

• A type of printer

• A software application

• A family of technologies for controlling network access

• A type of computer monitor

What are two advantages of 'Ethernet'?

• Limited cable length and not adaptable to higher data rates

• Complicated engineering and non-deterministic

• Simple to install and manage, high throughput under light load

• Expensive and difficult to manage

What are the data rates for 10Base-T Ethernet, 100base-T Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet?

• 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, 10000Mbps

• 1Mbps, 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1000Mbps

• 100Mbps, 1000Mbps, 10000Mbps, 100000Mbps

• 10Mbps, 1000Mbps, 10000Mbps, 100000Mbps

Which 'Physical Topologies' are supported in Ethernet?

• Bus and Star

• Star and Mesh

• Ring and Mesh

• Tree and Hybrid

Describe the 'Broadcast' type of 'Logical Topology'.

• A signal reaches only one attached node

• A signal reaches nodes based on priority

• A signal reaches every attached node

• A signal reaches nodes in a specific order

What is the meaning of 'Collision' in a shared network environment?

• When two nodes communicate successfully

• When two hosts transmit at the same time causing data corruption

• When a network is expanded using routers

• When a network is divided into segments

How does Ethernet regulate communication among nodes using 'Carrier-Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection' (CSMA/CD)?

• By restricting access to nodes based on location

• By allowing simultaneous transmission by all nodes

• By monitoring the link for carrier signals and detecting collisions

• By prioritizing traffic based on node ID

What is one way to reduce congestion in an Ethernet network?

• Split a single segment into multiple segments using Bridges, Switches, and Routers

• Increase the number of stations on a segment

• Allow all stations to broadcast simultaneously

• Use repeaters to extend the network

What are the key features of Ethernet technology?

• Complex installation process and low data transfer rates

• Simple to manage, high throughput, and cost-effective

• Requires specialized equipment and limited scalability

• Unreliable performance and high latency

How does Ethernet differ from other networking technologies?

• It uses a different set of protocols for data transmission

• It operates at a slower speed compared to other technologies

• It is not suitable for large-scale networks

• It allows for easy integration with existing infrastructure
