Q

Why WANs are different from LANs. p8

A

WANs usually need a router port or ports
WANs span larger geographic areas and/or can link disparate locations.
WANs are usually slower.

16
Q

If you are running Windows,Mac, or Unix in a local LAN workgroup you have a __________ network. p10

A

Peer to peer

17
Q

Is a single server uses a network operating system for managing the whole network. p11

A

Client Server Network

18
Q

What are the physical network topologies. p12

A 
Bus
Star
Ring
Mesh
Point to point
Point to multipoint
Hybrid
19
Q

This topology consists of two distinct and terminated ends with each of its computers connecting to one unbroken cable running its entire length. p12

A

Bus

20
Q

One of its best features is that because each computer or network segment is connected to the central device individually if the cable fails it brings down only that particular machine or network segment. p13

A

Star

21
Q

Has a lot in common with the bus topology because if you want to add to the network you have no choice but to break the cable something that is probably going to bring down the entire network. p14

A

Ring

22
Q

A mesh topology has the most wires out of all the other topologies. True or False p15

A

True

23
Q

You have a direct connection between two routers giving you one communication path. p16

A

Point to point

24
Q

Consists of a succession of connection between an interface on one router and multiple destination routers. p17

A

Point to Multipoint

25
Q

Is a combination of two or more types of physical or logical network topologies working together within the same network. p18

A

Hybrid

26
Q

What is the solution of finding how many wires you need in a Mesh Topology. p16

A

n(n-1)/2

27
Q

When selecting the right Topology you need to known what. p20

A

Cost
Ease of installtion
Ease of maintenance
Fault-tolerance requirement

28
Q

Network can be very complicated this is the reason we divide networks into different parts are called what. p20

A

Backbones and segment
