CSC1112 Comm & Network

You are designing a network for a medium-sized company that only needs to cover a single building and potentially expand across a campus. Which type of network would best suit this requirement?

• WAN (Wide Area Network)

• LAN (Local Area Network)

• MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)

• PAN (Personal Area Network)

Imagine you have set up a network with a bus topology, and the main cable is accidentally damaged. What will happen to the network?

• Only one device experiences issues.

• Network performance decreases.

• The entire network goes down.

• Communication remains uninterrupted.

In a company where computers in the local area network need to communicate with each other, which network protocol architecture would you use to facilitate this communication?

• Internet

• Ethernet

• FDDI

• ATM

In a scenario where data needs to be routed between different devices on a network, which layer of the OSI model is responsible for this task?

• Transport layer

• Network layer

• Application layer

• Data link layer

In a client-server network environment, where the server is responsible for managing resources and services, what is the primary role of the server?

• Requests services from clients

• Delivers services to clients

• Operates as an equal to other servers

• Manages network traffic

Consider a network setup where every device is connected to a central hub. What type of network topology does this represent?

• Ring

• Star

• Mesh

• Bus

You need to ensure that data transmitted over the internet is secure. Which protocol should you use to achieve this?

• HTTP

• HTTPS

• FTP

• SMTP

If you want to design a network that can withstand multiple failures without significant impact on its functionality, which topology would provide the highest level of fault tolerance?

• Bus topology

• Star topology

• Ring topology

• Mesh topology
