What is a client/server network?

• A client/server network is a decentralized model where clients do not rely on a central server.

• A client/server network is a model where clients request services from a centralized server.

• A client/server network is a model where all devices are equal and share resources equally.

• A client/server network is a type of network where servers only communicate with each other.

Define HUB, SWITCH, and ROUTER.

• ROUTER: A device that connects multiple devices in a network and sends data to a single device.

• SWITCH: A device that connects different networks and broadcasts data to all devices.

• HUB: A device that connects devices in a network and directs data to all.

• HUB: A device that connects multiple devices in a network, broadcasting data to all. SWITCH: A device that connects devices in a network and directs data to the specific device. ROUTER: A device that connects different networks and directs data packets between them.

What is a LAN?

• A LAN is a network that spans multiple cities.

• A LAN is a Local Area Network that connects devices in a limited area.

• A LAN is a type of wide area network.

• A LAN connects devices over the internet.

What is the benefit of networking? A. File Sharing B. Easier access to Resources C. Easier Backups D. All of the Above

• Faster Internet Speeds

• Increased Security

• D. All of the Above

• Improved Hardware Performance

Each LAN type has its own strategy in sending of A. Bits B. Bytes C. Data D. Frames

• Messages

• Frames

• Segments

• Packets

Describe star topology. What is the disadvantage of a star topology?

• In a star topology, all devices are connected directly to each other.

• The main advantage of a star topology is its low cost and easy setup.

• A star topology has no central hub, making it more reliable.

• The disadvantage of a star topology is that if the central hub fails, the entire network becomes inoperable.

What is a hybrid network?

• A hybrid network is a network that integrates on-premises infrastructure with cloud-based resources.

• A hybrid network is a network that only uses wireless connections.

• A hybrid network is a type of local area network.

• A hybrid network is solely based in the cloud.

What type of network is used for communicating data across states, countries, or the whole world?

• Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

• Personal Area Network (PAN)

• Local Area Network (LAN)

• Wide Area Network (WAN)

What is a peer-to-peer network?

• A peer-to-peer network only allows one participant to share resources at a time.

• A peer-to-peer network is a type of network that requires a dedicated server for resource sharing.

• A peer-to-peer network is a decentralized network where each participant can act as both a client and a server, allowing direct sharing of resources.

• A peer-to-peer network is a centralized system controlled by a single server.

Name the different types of network topologies and briefly describe their advantages.

• Square

• Circle

• Triangle

• Star, Bus, Ring, Mesh, Tree, Hybrid
