Computing Network, Network type, Network models

Samuel, Sophia, and Aarav set up a computing network in their office. What is the primary purpose of this network?

• To restrict communication between devices

• To solely power the devices on the network

• To enable the sharing of resources and information between connected devices

• To convert analog signals to digital signals

Benjamin is setting up a small office and wants to ensure he includes all the fundamental components of a computing network. Which of the following should Benjamin consider as a fundamental component?

• A microwave oven

• A server

• A flashlight

• A water dispenser

Oscar is setting up a network in his office building to allow all employees to share files and printers easily. Which of the following geographical scopes best describes the type of network Oscar is creating?

• Connecting multiple countries or continents

• Spanning an entire city or metropolitan area

• Covering a small, localized area like a school, office building, or home

• Linking only two devices directly through a cable

Sebastian is helping his company decide between setting up a Wide Area Network (WAN) or a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) for their offices. What is the primary difference between a Wide Area Network (WAN) and a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)?

• A WAN is always slower than a MAN.

• A MAN covers an international area, while a WAN covers a city.

• A WAN typically covers a much larger geographical area (e.g., across states or countries) than a MAN, which covers a city.

• A WAN can only connect computers, whereas a MAN can connect any type of device.

Sophie is the IT manager at a large university campus that spans several city blocks. She needs to connect all of the buildings on campus so that students and staff can access shared resources and communicate efficiently. Which type of network would Sophie most likely use to connect all of the university's buildings?

• WAN (Wide Area Network)

• MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)

• PAN (Personal Area Network)

• LAN (Local Area Network)

Imagine a small office where Charlie, William, and Amelia each have their own computers connected to the same network. In this setup, what role does each device primarily assume?

• Each device acts only as a dedicated client.

• Each device acts only as a dedicated server.

• Each device can function as both a client and a server, sharing resources with others.

• Devices are organized in a strict hierarchy with a single master controller.

In a company's office network, dedicated devices called servers provide resources and services (like file storage or printing) to other devices used by employees, known as clients. What is a key characteristic of this client-server network model?

• All devices have equal authority and manage their own security.

• Dedicated devices (servers) provide resources and services to other devices (clients).

• Data transfer only occurs directly between two client devices without involving a central server.

• It is generally less expensive and more secure for a large organization than a peer-to-peer model.

Sebastian is setting up a network in his office and needs a device that can connect his office network to the internet and forward data packets based on their IP addresses. Which network hardware component should Sebastian use?

• Switch

• Server

• Router

• Network Interface Card (NIC)

Leo is the IT manager at a large corporation. The company requires centralized control, strong security, and a single location for file storage across its network. Which network model should Leo implement to meet these needs?

• Peer-to-peer model

• Satellite model

• Client-server model

• Bus topology model

In Alexander's office, several computers are connected to a Local Area Network (LAN) using a switch. What is the main function of this switch within the LAN?

• To manage power distribution to all connected devices.

• To connect separate networks (like a LAN to the Internet).

• To filter and forward data frames to the specific device for which they are intended, based on MAC addresses.

• To print documents from network devices.
