NETWORK HARDWARE

What is the definition of network hardware?

• Network hardware refers to all the physical equipment needed for communication and interaction between devices on a computer network.

• Software that allows user to monitor incoming and outgoing traffic from devices.

• Network hardware refers to all the digital equipment needed for communication and interaction between devices on a computer network.

• Network hardware refers to all the applications, usernames and passwords needed for communication and interaction between devices on a computer network.

Select from the examples below the devices that are considered network hardware:

• NIC (Network Interface Card)

• ROUTER

• MODEM

• SWITCH

• REPEATER

What is the meaning of the acronym NIC?

• NIC (Network Interface Card)

• NIC (Media Access Control)

• NIC (New Interface Card)

• NIC (Named Interface Card)

• NIC (Nicoleta)

What is the meaning of the acronym MAC?

• MAC (Media Access Control)

• MAC (Media Address Control)

• MAC (Media Aces Control)

• MAC (My Access Card)

• MAC (Macarena)

Which ones are the two types of MAC addresses?

• UAA (Universally Administered Address)

• LAA (Locally Administered Address)

• LAA (Local Administer Address)

• UAA (Universal Administer Address)

A MAC address is made up of __ bits which are shown as six groups of hexadecimal digits with the general format:

• 48

• 64

• 32

• 128

• 16

What is the definition of a MAC Address?

• A MAC Address is is an unique 48bit identifier number assigned to the network hardware used to identify a device on a network.

• A MAC Address is is an unique 64bit identifier number assigned to the network hardware used to identify a device on a network.

• A MAC Address is is an unique 32bit identifier number assigned to the network hardware used to identify a device on a network.

• A MAC Address is is an unique 128bit identifier number assigned to the network hardware used to identify a device on a network.

• A MAC Address is is an unique 16bit identifier number assigned to the network hardware used to identify a device on a network.

Select the characteristics of a MAC Address:

• identifies the physical address of a device on the network

• unique for device on the network using 48 bits.

• assigned by the manufacturer of the device and is part of the NIC

• they can be universal or local (UAA & LAA)

• when a packet of data is sent and received, the MAC address is used to identify the sender’s and recipient’s devices

What is the meaning of the acronym IP address in network hardware?

• IP (Intellectual Property)

• IP (Internet Protocol)

• IP (Internal Protocol)

• IP (Internet Procedure)

How many versions of IP addresses protocols are there?

• IPv4

  ( is based on 32 bits and the address is written as four groups of eight bits (shown in denary format); for example, 254.25.28.77)

• IPV-6

  (This uses 128-bit addresses that take the form of eight groups of hex digits; for example, A8FB:7A88:FFF0:0FFF:3D21:2085:66FB:F0FA)

• Dynamic

  (As the name suggests, a dynamic IP address could be different every time a device connects to the Internet.)

• Static

  (Static IP addresses are permanently assigned to a device by the Internet Service Provider (ISP);)
