Question 5

A ____ is simply a linked series of devices.&#10;A) star&#10;B) star-wired ring&#10;C) ring&#10;D) daisy-chain

Accepted Answer

A daisy-chain is a series of devices connected one after another in a linear chain, with the last device connected back to the first to form a closed loop. The other options, such as star, ring, and star-wired ring, refer to specific network topologies that have their unique configurations and characteristics.

Question 6

All Ethernet networks, independent of their speed or frame type, use an access method called ____.&#10;A) CSMA&#10;B) CSMA/DC&#10;C) CSAM/CD&#10;D) CSMA/CD

Accepted Answer

CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) is the access method used by all Ethernet networks, regardless of their speed or frame type. It is a protocol that allows multiple devices to share the same physical communication channel without interfering with each other. Devices listen for a carrier signal before transmitting data and in case of a collision (when two or more devices transmit at the same time), they detect it and wait a random amount of time before retransmitting.

Question 7

In a ring network, each workstation acts as a(n) ____ for the transmission.&#10;A) repeater&#10;B) amplifier&#10;C) terminator&#10;D) manager

Accepted Answer

In a ring network, each workstation acts as a repeater, which regenerates and forwards the signal to the next workstation. This helps to ensure that the signal travels around the ring without attenuation. The other choices are not applicable to the function of workstations in a ring network.

Question 8

The most common 1-Gigabit Ethernet standard in use today is ____.&#10;A) 1000Base-T&#10;B) 1000Base-SX&#10;C) 10GBase-SR&#10;D) 1000Base-LX

Accepted Answer

Out of the given options, 1000Base-T is the most commonly used 1-Gigabit Ethernet standard. It uses copper twisted pair cables and has a maximum reach of 100 meters. 1000Base-SX and 1000Base-LX are also 1-Gigabit Ethernet standards but use fiber optic cables instead of copper. 10GBase-SR is a 10-Gigabit Ethernet standard and not a 1-Gigabit Ethernet standard.

Question 9

A complex combination of topologies is known as a ____ topology.&#10;A) mixed&#10;B) hybrid&#10;C) compound&#10;D) mulitpart

Accepted Answer

A hybrid topology is a combination of two or more different types of network topologies, such as star, bus, mesh, or ring. It provides the advantages of multiple topologies while minimizing their disadvantages, making it a flexible and efficient option for complex networks. The other options are not commonly used or recognized terms for describing network topologies.

Question 10
