No administrative control
Government control
What is a LAN's typical geographical scope?
Localized to a small area
Spanning continents
Covering entire countries
Reaching outer space
What is one advantage of placing additional hosts on a remote network?
Increases traffic demands
Decreases network security
Improves performance on each segment
Makes machines visible to all networks
How does placing hosts on a remote network affect traffic demands?
Increases traffic demands
Decreases traffic demands
Has no effect on traffic demands
Eliminates traffic demands
What is one effect of using a remote network segment on machines?
Makes machines visible to all networks
Makes machines invisible to other local network segments
Increases machine complexity
Decreases machine security
What is a disadvantage of increased network complexity?
Reduces latency
Increases expense
Simplifies routing
Decreases security
Why might it be beneficial to move some hosts onto a remote network as networks grow?
To increase network complexity
To decrease network performance
To reduce traffic and improve speed
To make devices harder to see
What is a disadvantage of having all hosts in one broadcast domain?
Easier implementation of QoS
Increased network performance
More traffic and slower performance
Improved security
Which of the following is NOT an advantage of a single local network segment?
Simpler network design
Lower network cost
Harder device access
Devices can be 'seen' by others
Which of the following is a benefit of having devices 'seen' by other devices in a network?
Increased complexity
Direct communication
Higher costs
Slower data transfer
What is a disadvantage of having all hosts in one local segment regarding QoS?
Easier to implement
No impact on QoS
Harder to implement
QoS is automatically enhanced
What is a benefit of faster data transfer in a single local network segment?
Increased complexity
More direct communication
Higher costs
Slower network performance
