(a)  

A device that requests a service or information from a server. What is this called?

(a)  

A powerful computer or program that provides services to other devices on a network, like a file server. What is this called?

(a)  

A set of rules and standards that govern how data is formatted and transmitted between devices in a network (e.g., TCP/IP). What is this called?

(a)  

Fill in the blank: The maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a network connection in a given amount of time, usually measured in bits per second (bps), is called (a)   .

Fill in the blank: The time delay that occurs in a network; the time it takes for a data packet to travel from its source to its destination is called (a)   .

Fill in the blank: A unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network for identification and location addressing is called (a)   .

Fill in the blank: A unique hardware identification number permanently "burned in" to a network interface controller (NIC) by the manufacturer is called (a)   .

Fill in the blank: A device that connects two or more different networks and directs data packets between them; it connects a LAN to a WAN (the internet) is called a (a)   .

Fill in the blank: An older, simple networking device that connects multiple devices but broadcasts all incoming data packets to every device on the network is called a (a)   .

Fill in the blank: A device that converts digital signals from a computer into analog signals for transmission over a communication line and vice versa is called a (a)   .

Fill in the blank: A hardware component, also known as a network adapter, that allows a device to connect to a network; it holds the MAC address is called a (a)   .

Fill in the blank: A device that allows wireless-enabled devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi is called a (a)   .

Fill in the blank: A set of rules that governs the communication between devices on a network is called a (a)   .

A security system, which can be hardware or software, that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined security rules is called a (a)  

The arrangement of devices and connections in a computer network that governs how data flows is known as (a)  

The type of topology that describes the actual layout of cables and hardware is called (a)   .

The type of topology that describes how data moves through the network is called (a)   .

A topology where all devices are connected to a single central cable, or "backbone," and requires terminators at both ends is called (a)   .

A topology where every device is connected to a central hub, switch, or router; a failure in one device only affects that device. What is this topology called?

(a)  

The most significant disadvantage of a Star Topology is (a)   .

A topology where each device is connected to exactly two other devices, forming a circular data path, often using a "token" to prevent data collisions is called (a)   ?

The most complex topology, providing a point-to-point connection from every device to every other device, creating multiple redundant paths, is called (a)   ?

A topology consisting of a dedicated, direct communication link between exactly two devices, ensuring a private channel for data transmission is called (a)  

A hierarchical structure that combines multiple star networks connected to a central bus backbone cable; also known as a star-bus topology. Fill in the blank: (a)  

A topology that is a combination of two or more different topologies (e.g., a star-ring or star-bus) to leverage their strengths. Fill in the blank: (a)  

A linear arrangement in which devices are connected in series, one after the other, and is simple and cost-effective but suffers from signal degradation over distance. Fill in the blank: (a)  

The challenge that occurs when the volume of data traffic exceeds the network's capacity, leading to slower performance and increased latency. Fill in the blank: (a)  

A network that connects devices across a city, such as multiple buildings in an urban area. What is this called?

(a)  

Which type of network is best suited for connecting devices within a single building?

(a)  

A business needs to connect its branches in different cities. What type of network should they implement?

(a)  

A network that connects devices within a small geographical area, such as a home or office. What is this called?

(a)  

You’re troubleshooting a network issue and suspect a device is not functioning properly. What device could be causing the problem?

(a)  

A company is implementing a system to protect its network from unauthorized access. What technology are they likely using?

(a)
