Grade 11 Lan Summative Assessment

What defines a Local Area Network (LAN)?

• A network connecting devices across multiple countries

• A network that provides internet access worldwide

• A network that connects devices within a limited area

• A network that uses only wireless technology

Why are LANs beneficial for data sharing?

• They allow global data access

• They provide faster internet speeds

• They enable seamless sharing of files, applications, and resources

• They eliminate the need for routers

How do LANs reduce costs for connected devices?

• By eliminating the need for internet connections

• By reducing the need for individual resources like printers

• By providing free software updates

• By lowering power consumption for each device

Which of the following is NOT a type of LAN?

• Peer-to-Peer LAN

• Client-Server LAN

• Wireless LAN

• Fiber LAN

In a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) LAN, each device can act as a:

• Central server only

• Client only

• Both client and server

• Wireless router

What is a key advantage of a Peer-to-Peer LAN?

• High security for sensitive data

• Minimal setup and hardware costs

• Can manage large networks effectively

• Requires a central server

Why is a Peer-to-Peer LAN less suitable for sensitive data?

• It is difficult to set up

• It lacks centralized security management

• It requires expensive hardware

• It uses only wireless connections

Which type of LAN is ideal for home networks with limited devices?

• Wireless LAN

• Client-Server LAN

• Peer-to-Peer LAN

• Public LAN

What is a Client-Server LAN?

• A network where each device functions independently

• A LAN with no central server

• A LAN where servers provide resources and services to clients

• A LAN that uses only wireless connections

Which of the following is a major benefit of a Client-Server LAN?

• Easier centralized management and updates

• Minimal setup cost

• Best for very small home networks

• Requires no specialized software
