Question 1

When a client computer wants to access resources on a server, the client can access the server by either assigning a drive letter to a share or through the use of a UNC path.

Accepted Answer

Both methods are commonly used for accessing network resources. Assigning a drive letter maps a network share to a drive letter, making it easily accessible through My Computer or File Explorer. A UNC path (Universal Naming Convention) directly accesses a shared resource using its network path, without assigning a drive letter.

Question 2

A dial-up access telephone number is required to configure a dial-up Internet connection.

Accepted Answer

A dial-up Internet connection requires a specific telephone number provided by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to establish the connection over the phone line.

Question 3

NSlookup enables a single IP to do the work for many IP addresses in the LAN.

Accepted Answer

NSlookup is a network administration command-line tool used for querying the Domain Name System (DNS) to obtain domain name or IP address mapping or any specific DNS record. It does not enable a single IP to do the work for many IP addresses in the LAN.

Question 4

HTML is a protocol used by web browsers to access and view website content.

Accepted Answer

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a markup language used for creating and structuring content on the web, not a protocol. Protocols like HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) are used by web browsers to access and view website content.

Question 5

DNS servers are accountable for translating domain names and hostnames into their corresponding IP address.

Accepted Answer

DNS servers, or Domain Name System servers, are responsible for translating human-readable domain names and hostnames into their corresponding numerical IP addresses, allowing devices to locate and communicate with each other on the internet.

Question 6

In a ring topology, all computers connect to a centralized hub, switch, or access point for network connectivity.

Accepted Answer

In a ring topology, each computer is connected to two other computers in a circular arrangement, not to a centralized hub, switch, or access point.

Question 7

VoIP is a method of voice communication transmitted over a TCP/IP network, such as the Internet or a form of LAN.

Accepted Answer

VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, which is a technology that allows voice communication and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, including the internet or Local Area Networks (LAN).

Question 8

If a network adapter is configured in half-duplex mode, the card can send and receive data at the same time.

Accepted Answer

In half-duplex mode, a network adapter can either send or receive data at any given time, but not both simultaneously.

Question 9

A hub provides the slowest connection device on a network due to its bandwidth being split between all computers connected to it.

Accepted Answer

A hub splits its bandwidth among all the devices connected to it, leading to slower connections if many devices are using the network simultaneously.

Question 10

The nslookup command can be used to troubleshooting the path a packet takes to a particular destination on a network.

Accepted Answer

The nslookup command is used to query Internet domain name servers to find the IP address associated with a host name or the domain name associated with an IP address, not to trace the path a packet takes to its destination.

Question 11

A ______ is a computer on the network that provides other computers within the network with access to resources, such as disk drives, folders, printers, modems, scanners, and Internet access.

Accepted Answer

A server is a computer designed to process requests and deliver data to other computers over a local network or the internet. It provides resources like disk space, printers, and internet access to client computers on the network.

Question 12

Accepted Answer

An ISP, or Internet Service Provider, is the company or service that provides Internet access to users, acting as the intermediary between the user's modem and the Internet.

Question 13

Which of the following Internet access methods represents broadband Internet service?

Accepted Answer

DSL, Cable, and Satellite are all forms of broadband Internet service, offering high-speed Internet access compared to traditional dial-up.

Question 14

An Internet access device is responsible to provide Internet through the use of a modem, DSL, cable, or satellite. However, a ______ is needed to connect the Internet access device to client computers on a network.

Accepted Answer

A router is needed to connect the Internet access device to client computers on a network, as it directs data traffic and manages the connections between devices and the internet.

Question 15

What protocol is used by both web browsers or specialized programs to exchange and manipulate files over an Internet protocol computer network?

Accepted Answer

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used by web browsers and specialized programs to exchange and manipulate files over an Internet protocol network.

Question 16

What network protocol enables data to be exchanged between two computers over a secure channel?

Accepted Answer

SSH (Secure Shell) is the protocol that enables data to be exchanged over a secure channel between two computers.

Question 17

A domain name is used to identify one or more IP addresses or URLs to a particular web page. Which of the following sections are needed to make a complete domain name, from the end of the name to the start? (Choose all that apply.)

Accepted Answer

The answer of A domain name is used to identify...

Question 18

All email systems provide the transfer of text messages and attachments to the corresponding recipients. Nonetheless, to configure an email client, a mail server protocol type is required. Which of the following protocols are considered mail server types?

Accepted Answer

IMAP and POP are protocols used for receiving email, while SMTP is used for sending email. All are essential for the functioning of email systems and are considered mail server protocols.

Question 19

What is the maximum distance 1000BASET can travel per segment?

Accepted Answer

1000BASE-T, a standard for Gigabit Ethernet over copper wiring, specifies a maximum distance of 100 meters per network segment.

Question 20

Which of the following network types are considered short range and low speed? )Choose all that apply.)

Accepted Answer

Bluetooth and Infrared are both short-range and low-speed network types. Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows devices to communicate over short distances, typically within a range of 10 meters. Infrared is a wireless technology that uses infrared light to transmit data over short distances, typically within a range of a few meters.
