Question 1

You're the network administrator for a company located in Arizona that has just opened an office in Texas. You need to make sure that the two locations can communicate. What type of network are you implementing?

Accepted Answer

To connect two locations that are geographically separated, a WAN (Wide Area Network) is the most appropriate choice. A WAN allows for communication across a large distance and can connect LANs (Local Area Networks) at different locations. A MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) is too limited in scope and is typically used for connecting LANs within a city or campus environment. An internetwork refers to the use of multiple interconnected networks, not a specific type of network itself. An extended LAN may refer to the use of multiple LANs at one location, not the connection of multiple locations.

Question 8

You have just started a new business. You need to have three to four workstations available for your employees who simply need to share some files and a printer, but you don't have a large budget. Security is not a major concern, but costs are. Which network model would be the most appropriate for your situation?

Accepted Answer

A peer-to-peer network would be the most appropriate for this situation as it is the simplest and most cost-effective option for a small business with limited resources. In a peer-to-peer network, each workstation shares resources (such as files and printers) with other workstations on the same network, without the need for a central server. This eliminates the need for expensive server hardware and software, and allows for easy file and printer sharing between employees. The security concerns are low, which further supports the use of a peer-to-peer network for this situation.

Question 14

Which unit of data stores a single value that can be a 0 or a 1?

Accepted Answer

A bit is the smallest unit of data in computing that can store a single value of either 0 or 1. Bytes, nibbles, and words are all made up of multiple bits. Bps (bits per second) is a unit of measurement for data transfer rate, not a unit of data itself.
