Which of the following is an advantage of peer-to-peer network communication?

• Centralized control

• Scalability to large networks

• Can be use for simple task such as transferring files and sharing printer.

• Enhanced network security

Answer explanation

Peer-to-peer network communication allows for scalability to large networks and can be used for simple tasks like transferring files and sharing printers.

Which of the following is a disadvantage of peer-to-peer network communication?

Answer explanation

A disadvantage of peer-to-peer network communication is the lack of centralized control and security, making it more vulnerable to security breaches and unauthorized access.

Which of the following media belongs to OSI Layer 1?

• Ethernet

• IP

• Fiber optic cables

• HTTP

Answer explanation

Fiber optic cables belong to OSI Layer 1 as they are physical cables used for transmitting data signals at the physical layer of the OSI model.

Which of the following media uses electrical signals to transmit data?

• Fiber optic cables

• Wireless radio waves

• RJ45 cables

• Infrared

Answer explanation

RJ45 cables use electrical signals to transmit data, making them the correct choice among the options provided.

Which of the following is an end device?

• Router

• Switch

• Computer

• Access Point

Answer explanation

The correct choice is 'Computer' because it is an end device that directly interacts with the network, unlike routers, switches, or access points which are networking devices.

Which of the following statements best describes the difference between physical and logical network topologies?

• Physical topology illustrates the data flow and logical connections between devices, while logical topology shows the physical layout of cables and devices.

• Physical topology shows the physical arrangement of cables and devices, whereas logical topology illustrates how data flows and the logical connections between devices.

• Physical topology focuses on the network protocols used, while logical topology details the speed of data transmission.

• Physical topology is concerned with network security, whereas logical topology is about network performance.

Answer explanation

Physical topology shows the physical arrangement of cables and devices, whereas logical topology illustrates how data flows and the logical connections between devices.

What is the primary benefit of a converging network?

• Increased network security through separate networks

• Simplified management and reduced costs by integrating multiple services into a single network

• Improved bandwidth by using multiple independent networks

• Enhanced data encryption for each type of service

Answer explanation

Simplified management and reduced costs by integrating multiple services into a single network

Which of the following is an example of a common network security threat?

• Phishing Attack

• Network Protocol

• Bandwidth Management

• Network Router

Answer explanation
