Q

basic elements of computer networl

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. hardware
  2. Computers
  3. Network devices such as routers, switches hub.
  4. connection medium: this is the path through which the data travels. It can be wired or wireless
20
Q

Define protocols

Study These Flashcards
A

Protocols are the rules and regulation that governs how computers communicate on the network

21
Q

define device driver

Study These Flashcards
A

A device driver is a software that acts as a translator between a hardware device and the operating system.

22
Q

Advantages of lan

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Speed : LANs offer high-speed data transfer rates compared to other
    networks like WANs (Wide Area Networks).
  • Resource Sharing: Devices on a LAN can easily share resources like
    printers, scanners, and even software licenses.
23
Q

two disadvantages of lan

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Limited Reach: LANs are confined to a small geographical area,
    typically a single building, office floor, or home
  • Security Concerns: While LANs can be secure, they can also be more
    vulnerable than WANs if not properly configured
24
advantages of MAN
* Speed: Much faster than WANs for very quick data movement within a city. * Security: More secure than WANs due to their smaller coverage area
25
disadvantages of man
* Security: MANs cover a larger area than LANs, making them more challenging to secure. * Cost: Setting up and maintaining a MAN can be expensive.
26
advantages of wan
* Long Distance Connectivity: This allows businesses with multiple offices, organizations with remote branches, or even individuals spread across different cities or countries to share resources and collaborate seamlessly. * Scalability: WANs can be easily scaled to accommodate a growing number of users and locations
27
disadvantages of wan
* Slower Speeds and Latency: Due to the vast distances involved, WAN connections often experience slower data transfer rates. * Higher Cost and Complexity: Troubleshooting and managing security across a geographically dispersed network can be more complex than with a LAN
28
types of network architecture
1. Peer to peer 2. Client-server 3. Centralized network
29
advantages of peer to peer
* Reduced cost :P2P networks eliminate the need for a dedicated server, which can be expensive to purchase, maintain, and manage. * Simpler setup: Setting up a P2P network is also generally simpler compared to client-server networks
30
disadvantage of peer to peer
* Security concerns : Malware and viruses can easily spread through P2P networks if proper security software isn't implemented on each device. * Performance Issues: Unreliable file availability and unpredictable download speeds
31
Two advantages of centralized network
* Centralized control: This allows administrators to easily implement and enforce security policies like user authentication, and access controls across the entire network. * Reliable Data Storage and Access: Centralized networks often store data on a central server, ensuring consistent backups and easier access controL
32
Two disadvantages of centralized network
* Single Point of Failure: If the server malfunctions or experiences an outage, the entire network can become inaccessible. * Limited Scalability : Difficult and expensive to scale
33
Two advantages of client server network
* Security & Management: Centralized control on a server allows for easier security enforcement and updates for all devices. * Performance & Scalability: The server efficiently allocates resources and additional clients can be added without overloading the system
34
Two disadvantages of client server architecture
* Reliance on Server: If the server fails, the entire network can go down. * Performance Limitations: Too many client requests can overload the server, slowing down performance
35
What is topology? And its types
Arrangements of computers in Local Area Network. types: 1. Bus topology 2. Ring topology 3. star topology
36
Advantages of star topology
1.Easy Management and Troubleshooting: Centralized control simplifies network management and fault isolation. 2.Scalability: Devices can be added or removed without disrupting the network
37
disadvantage of star topology
1. Single point of failure 2. High initial cost
38
Full form of TCP/ IP and its use
Transmission Communication Protocol or Internet Protocol is used to handle communication over the internet.
39
HTTP and its function
Hyper text transfer protocol is used to transfer html documents
40
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used to send mails.
41
POP
Post Office Protocol is used to retrive mail
42
Function of ethernet
To transmit data on Lan using NIC
43
Gopher
Searching and retrieving on remote web servers
44
ARP
Address Resolution Protocol is used to convert network address into mac address.
45
CDP
Cisco discovery protocol is used to share data in cisco devices
46
VOIP
Voice over internet protocol is used to send voice over internet
