b. FTP
c. DHCP
d. Telnet
d. Telnet
allows users to remotely access and manage network devices over a network. It provides a command-line interface to interact with devices such as routers, switches, and servers.
A network administrator is in charge of two separate networks that share a single building.
What device will be required to connect the two networks and add a common connection to the Internet that can be shared?
a. Hub
b. Router
c. access point
d. Ethernet switch
b. Router
Which of the following statement is NOT true?
a. Hubs read the source and destination frames.
b. Devices are connected to the hub using UTP cable.
c. Hubs create a single network segment.
d. Hub regenerates the electrical signals.
a. Hubs read the source and destination frames.
Which is the preferred method for assigning IP address to a large number of clients?
a. Substitute using MAC addresses instead.
b. Create a static domain.
c. Use static IP addresses.
d. Use DHCP.
d. Use DHCP.
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - is the preferred method for assigning IP addresses to a large number of clients. DHCP allows for automatic and centralized management of IP address allocation within a network)
The protocol data unit in layer 3 is referred to as:
a. Segments
b. Packets
c. Sequence
d. Frames
b. Packets (Layer 3)
Segments (Layer 4)
Frames (Layer 2)
Which of the following protocol resolves an IP address (like 207.46.19.254) to a symbolic name (like www.test.com)?
a. HTTP
b. DNS
c. RDP
d. TCP
b. DNS
(Domain Name System - helps users access websites using easy-to-remember domain names instead of numerical IP addresses)
Which protocol supports encryption when accessing the network device remotely?
a. SSH.
b. Telnet.
c. HTTP.
d. TCP.
a. SSH.
(Secure Shell - ensures data confidentiality and integrity during remote connections, making it a more secure alternative to Telnet, which does not provide encryption)

c. provides connectivity on a LAN.
d. provides connectivity over a large geographic area.
d. provides connectivity over a large geographic area.
WAN is a type of network that spans a large geographical area and connects multiple LANs (Local Area Networks) or other networks together, often using public or private communication lines.
It also allows communication and data exchange over significant distances, such as between different cities or countries.
In TCP/IP model, which layer is responsible for determining the best path to destination?
a. Internet layer
b. Network access layer.
c. Application layer.
d. Transport layer.
a. Internet layer
Which is the preferred method for assigning IP address in the network with large number of clients?
a. Substitute using MAC addresses instead.
b. Create a static domain.
c. Use static IP addresses.
d. Use DHCP.
d. Use DHCP.
When using Ethernet, hubs are used to extend the network range. Which one of the following statements is NOT true?
a. Hubs read the source and destination frames.
b. Devices are connected to the hub using UTP cable.
c. Hubs create a single network segment.
d. Hub regenerates the electrical signals.
a. Hubs read the source and destination frames
Hubs do not read the source and destination frames. They operate at the physical layer of the OSI model and simply broadcast incoming signals to all connected devices without any awareness of the source or destination.
