Gateway

What is the primary function of a gateway in networking?

• To connect two similar networks

• To amplify network signals

• To translate data between different network protocols

• To store and forward packets within a LAN

At which layer(s) of the OSI model do gateways operate?

• Only at the Physical layer

• Only at the Network layer

• At all layers of the OSI model

• Only at the Transport layer

Which of the following is an example of a gateway?

• A switch connecting computers within the same network

• A device that converts SMTP emails to X.400 format

• A router that forwards packets based on IP addresses

• A repeater that amplifies signals

How do gateways differ from routers?

• Gateways operate only at the Data-Link layer, while routers operate at the Network layer

• Gateways connect different network architectures, while routers connect similar networks

• Gateways use IP addresses, while routers use MAC addresses

• Gateways forward packets based on distance, while routers do not

Which of the following best describes a gateway's role in an enterprise network?

• Managing internal LAN traffic

• Filtering network packets based on IP addresses

• Translating communication between different protocols or architectures

• Creating a secure VPN tunnel

What is another name for a gateway?

• Media Converter

• Network Amplifier

• Protocol Converter

• Collision Manager

Which of the following network devices can function as a gateway?

• Switch

• Hub

• Router

• Repeater

In which of the following scenarios is a gateway most useful?

• Connecting two computers using the same network protocol

• Translating data between a TCP/IP network and a mainframe running SNA

• Amplifying weak network signals

• Preventing broadcast storms

What is the main disadvantage of using a gateway?

• It does not support multiple network protocols

• It is slower and more expensive compared to other networking devices

• It cannot handle network traffic efficiently

• It only works at the Physical layer of the OSI model

A gateway is commonly used to connect which types of networks?

• Networks using different communication protocols

• Networks using the same protocol but different hardware

• Networks with the same architecture

• Networks within the same local area network (LAN)
