Q

If you’re installing a network at a friends house, and it’s impossible to run a network cable from one point in the house to another. They do not want to use wireless networking . What is the best option to get connectivity between the two points?

Power over ethernet injector

Power over ethernet switch

Ethernet over power

Bridge

A

Ethernet over power can transmit network signals over power lines within a closed circuit.It would be the best option.

17
Q

What type of device will block unwanted traffic from your network using a set of rules called an ACL?

Router

Firewall

Bridge

NAS

A

A firewall will block unwanted traffic using a set of rules called an access control list.

18
Q

Which type of coaxial cable is recommended for cable TV?

RG-6

RG-8

RG-58

RG-59

A

RG-6 and RG-59 can both run cable tv however RG-6 would be better as it can run longer distances and use digital signals. RG-59 is used for analogue signals.

19
Q

Which of the following devices work with MAC addresses to determine what to do with network traffic?

Hub

Router

Bridge

Switch

A

Bridges and switches are Layer 2 devices and therefore they work with hardware (MAC). Hubs operate at layer 1 with bits and routers operate at layer 3 and work with logical IP address.

20
Q

Transmitting at 10 Gbps, how far can signals on an MFF cable travel?

100m

550m

1km

40km

A

Multimode fibre (MMF) can transmit up to 550m, depending on the ethernet specification. If you needed to transmit up to 40km you would use SMF
