A collection of interconnected devices sharing resources
A method of software development
A type of computer hardware
Describe the function of a router.
To store data permanently
To connect computers to printers
To manage communication between networks
To create user interfaces
Differentiate between LAN and WAN.
LAN is for wireless networks; WAN is for wired networks
LAN covers a small geographic area; WAN covers a large geographic area
LAN is for large enterprises; WAN is for personal use
LAN is faster than WAN
What is an IP address?
A hardware component in computers
A unique identifier for a network device
A type of software application
A security protocol for networks
Explain the difference between IPv4 and IPv6.
IPv4 is older and uses 32-bit addresses; IPv6 is newer and uses 128-bit addresses
IPv4 is faster than IPv6
IPv4 is used only in local networks; IPv6 is used globally
IPv4 is a type of hardware; IPv6 is software
What is the purpose of a default gateway in a network?
To provide access to the internet
To serve as the forwarding host to other networks
To manage data storage
To secure network communication
Define static and dynamic IP addresses.
Static IP addresses change over time; Dynamic IP addresses remain the same
Static IP addresses are assigned permanently; Dynamic IP addresses are assigned temporarily
Static IP addresses are for small networks; Dynamic IP addresses are for large networks
Static IP addresses are more secure than Dynamic IP addresses
What is a domain name?
A physical address for a computer
The name of a website
A type of computer hardware
A security feature for networks
Describe the function of DNS.
To provide internet access to devices
To translate domain names into IP addresses
To store data on the internet
To secure communication between devices
What is the purpose of the nslookup utility?
To configure network settings
To look up domain name servers
To secure network communication
To store data on the network
How can you find your public IP address using a graphical user interface (GUI)?
Using the “ipconfig” command
By checking network properties in the control panel
By using the command line interface (CLI)
By using a network monitoring tool
What is the purpose of a domain registrar?
To store data on the cloud
To sell and register domain names
To provide hosting services
To manage DNS records
Define a computer protocol.
A rule for software development
A standard for network communication
A type of hardware device
A method for data storage
What is the OSI model?
A model for computer hardware
A conceptual framework for network communication
A protocol for secure communication
A type of software application
List the seven layers of the OSI model.
Hardware, Software, Data, Network, Transport, Session, Application
Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, Physical
Input, Output, Processing, Storage, Transmission, Display, Security
Protocol, Interface, Data, Hardware, Software, Network, Communication
Explain the function of the transport layer in the OSI model.
To manage data formatting and encryption
To ensure reliable transmission of data between devices
To establish physical connections between devices
To store data temporarily
What is the difference between TCP and UDP?
TCP is connection-oriented; UDP is connectionless
TCP is faster than UDP
TCP is used for secure communication; UDP is used for unsecured communication
TCP is a type of hardware; UDP is software
Describe the role of a DHCP server.
To provide internet access to devices
To dynamically assign IP addresses to devices on a network
To secure network communication
To store data on the network
What is the purpose of HTTP in web communication?
To store web pages
To format data for transmission
To define how messages are formatted and transmitted on the web
To secure web communication
Explain the significance of HTTPS.
It provides faster communication
