What type of cable would you use to connect a computer to a network switch?

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable

Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Cable

Why might a network administrator choose a switch over a hub in a large office network?

Better traffic management and security

Compatibility with older devices

How would you design a network topology to ensure high availability and redundancy?

Design a mesh topology for multiple pathways

Use a bus topology for simplicity

Implement a ring topology for efficient data travel

Use a star topology with a powerful central hub

What could be a potential downside of using a bus topology in a modern network, and how could it be mitigated?

Single point of failure; mitigate by using redundant paths

High cost; mitigate by using cheaper cables

Complex installation; mitigate by using simpler topologies

Limited bandwidth; mitigate by upgrading to higher capacity cables

How can a network administrator ensure data integrity and confidentiality when transferring sensitive information over the internet?

Use encrypted protocols such as HTTPS and SSH

Use coaxial cables for all connections

Which network topology would be most suitable for a large corporation with multiple branches and why?

Mesh topology; for its redundancy and reliability

Bus topology; for its simplicity

Star topology; for its cost-effectiveness

Ring topology; for its efficiency

In a high-security environment, which network configuration would provide the best security and why?

Secured network with VLANs and firewalls

Open network with public access

Basic network with simple password protection

Shared network with no restrictions

Given the need for secure remote access, which protocol should be implemented and why?

SSH; it provides encrypted communication

SMTP; it handles email communication

If a device cannot connect to the network, which troubleshooting step should be taken first to diagnose the issue?

Check the physical connection and cables

Configure a new IP address manually

A network is experiencing slow performance. Which factors should be analyzed to identify the root cause?

Bandwidth usage and network traffic

How would you configure a network to allow only specific devices to access certain resources?

Configure a switch with MAC address filtering and VLANs

Implement a hub with access control lists

Set up a repeater with signal restrictions

Why is it important to have a network security policy in place, and what should it include?

To protect data and resources; it should include access controls and incident response plans

o restrict network access completely; it should include blocking all devices

To enhance productivity; it should include performance metrics

To increase network traffic; it should include bandwidth allocation

Which network is best for a small business that needs to support 20 employees, secure guest access, and remote work capabilities.

Switch with VLANs for internal and guest networks, VPN for remote access

Single router with no additional security

Hub for internal network, no remote access

Router with basic password protection

How would you set up a monitoring system to alert administrators of network anomalies in real-time?

Implement a network management software with SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and automated alerts

Use a basic switch with manual checks

Rely on user reports for issues

Use a hub with no monitoring capabilities

How can network redundancy be incorporated into a critical system to prevent downtime?

Implement multiple, redundant network paths and failover devices

Use a single switch with backup power

Simplify the network design to reduce complexity

If a device cannot connect to the network, which troubleshooting step should be taken first to diagnose the issue?

Check the physical connection and cables

Configure a new IP address manually
