What is the main function of a Network Interface Card (NIC)?
To allow a computer to connect to a network
To store IP addresses of devices on the network
To forward data packets between networks
To encrypt data before transmission
A Media Access Control (MAC) address is used to:
Uniquely identify a device on a network
Assign an IP address to a device
Encrypt network traffic for security
Improve internet speed on a device
Which of the following statements is true about MAC addresses?
They are assigned to a device at manufacture and do not change
They are dynamically assigned by the router each time a device connects
They are written in decimal format like an IPv4 address
They consist of 64 bits divided into two halves
What is the main difference between an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address?
IPv4 uses 32 bits, while IPv6 uses 128 bits
IPv6 is used only for local networks, while IPv4 is for the internet
IPv4 addresses are static, while IPv6 addresses are dynamic
IPv6 provides slower data transmission than IPv4
Which of the following is an example of an IPv4 address?
192.168.1.1
2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E
255.255.255.255
What is a static IP address?
A fixed IP address that does not change
An IP address that is assigned temporarily by a network
A MAC address that is converted into an IP address
An IPv6 address used for private networks
What is the primary role of a router in a network?
To forward data packets between networks
To generate and assign MAC addresses to devices
To store and process websites locally
To boost the Wi-Fi signal of a device
Which of the following is not a function of a router?
Assigning MAC addresses to devices
Forwarding data between networks
Assigning IP addresses using DHCP
Connecting a local network to the internet
A router assigns dynamic IP addresses using which protocol?
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
Which of the following best describes an IPv6 address?
A 128-bit address written in hexadecimal format
A 32-bit address used only for local networks
A MAC address assigned to every network device
An IPv6 address used for private networks
What is a fixed IP address that does not change called?
Dynamic IP address
Static IP address
Temporary IP address
Rotating IP address
