1.

Describe the characteristics and application of the following network devices :

(a) Routers
(b) Bridges
(c) Switches
(d) Hubs
2. What is Bandwidth?
Every line has an upper limit and a lower limit on the frequency of signals it can carry. This
limited range is called the bandwidth.
3. What is the difference between physical address and logical address?
Simply physical address known as hardware address. IP address is known as logical address.
Physical address is used for identify the PC on network and IP is used for identify the network
on the PC mac address 48 bit address IP address 32 bit addresses.
4. If you are given the IP address can u tell how many computer scan be connected?What do
you look at?
Depending on the address given (Class A, Class B, or Class C) you can determine how many
hosts are available. This is also subject to whether the address is classless or classful. If it is
classful the a Class C address can have 254 valid hosts, a Class B can have 64,534 and a Class
A can allow over 16 million hosts!
5. Expand the following : Wi-Fi, wlan, WiMAX, Wan, WAP.
Wifi Wireless Fidelity
Wlan Wireless LAN
WiMAX - Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access
Wan wide area network

6. What is anonymous ftp? Why is it used?
Anonymous FTP enables users to connect to a host without using a valid login and password.
Usually, anonymous FTP uses a login called anonymous or guest, with the password usually
requesting the user's ID for tracking purposes only. Anonymous FTP is used to enable a large
number of users to access files on the host without having to go to the trouble of setting up
logins for them all. Anonymous FTP systems usually have strict controls over the areas an
anonymous user can access.

10. You are the network administrator of the RouterSim global software Company. You
receive a call from a user who is unable to reach a server at a remote site. After further
review you discover the following info:
Local PC 190.0.3.35/24
Default Gateway 190.0.3.1

(a) TCP/IP not correctly installed
(b) Local physical layer problem
(c) NIC not functioning
(d) Remote physical layer problem
Correct Answer : A

(d) UDP
Correct Answer : A
13. When you consider half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet, what are unique for half-duplex
Ethernet? (Select all possible options.)
(a) Half-duplex Ethernet operates in a shared collision domain.
(b) Half-duplex Ethernet operates in an exclusive broadcast domain.

(c) Half-duplex Ethernet has efficient throughput.

(e) Half-duplex Ethernet operates in an exclusive collision domain.
Correct Answers : A,D
14. What protocol is used by DNS Servers?
DNS uses UDP for communication between servers. It is a better choice than TCP because of
the improved speed a connectionless protocol offers. Of course, transmission reliability suffers
with UDP.

18. Two computers with their IP s set as 10.1.2.3 and 10.4.5.6 and are both connected to a common
switch. But they are not able to ping each other. The ping program seems to work when the IP
of the second system was set as 10.1.2.5 (a random test). What could be the reason?
