Q

This component works as a controller which connects computers, printers, and other hardware devices to a network in a campus or a building. It allows devices on your network to communicate with each other, as well as with other networks. It helps you to share resources and reduce the costing of any organization.

A

Switches

20
Q

This network component helps you to connect with multiple networks. It enables you to share a single internet connection with multiple devices and saves money. This networking component acts as a dispatcher, which allows you to analyze data sent across a network. It automatically selects the best route for data to travel and send it on its way.

A

Router

21
Q

This component is a computer that holds shared programs, files, and the network operating system, and allow access to network resources to all the users of the network.

A

Servers

22
Q

This network component computer devices which access and uses the network as well as shares network resources. They are also users of the network, as they can send and receive requests from the server.

A

Clients

23
Q

This network component is a carrier used to interconnect computers in a network, such as coaxial cable, twisted-pair wire, and optical fiber cable. It is also known as links, channels, or lines.

A

Transmission media

24
Q

The network component allow devices to connect to the wireless network without cables. A wireless network allows you to bring new devices and provides flexible support to mobile users.

A

Access Point

25
Q

This network component is data which is shared between the clients such as data files, printer access programs, and email.

A

Shared Data

26
Q

sends, receives data, and controls data flow between the computer and the network.

A

Network Interface card

27
Q

helps personal computers to access files, print to a local printer and uses one or more disk and CD drives which are located on the computer.

A

Local OS

28
Q

is a program which runs on computers and servers. It allows the computers to communicate via network.

A

Network OS

29
Q

is the set of defined rules that allows two entities to communicate across the network. Some standard’s of the are used for this purpose are IP, TCP, UDP, FTP, etc.

A

Protocol

30
Q

device that splits network connection into multiple computers. It acts a distribution center so whenever a computer requests any information from a computer or from the network it sends the request through a cable. It will then receive the request and transmit it to the entire network.

A

Hub

31
Q

cable is also called as Ethernet or data cable. It is used for connecting a device to the internet.

A

LAN Cable

32
Q

in information and communications technology, is a type of text document from the technology community. This document may come from many bodies including from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF), the Internet Architecture Board (IAB), or from independent authors. This system is supported by the Internet Society (ISOC).

A

Request for Comment (RFC)
