Q

basic elements of computer networl

A
  1. hardware
  2. Computers
  3. Network devices such as routers, switches hub.
  4. connection medium: this is the path through which the data travels. It can be wired or wireless
20
Q

Define protocols

A

Protocols are the rules and regulation that governs how computers communicate on the network

21
Q

define device driver

A

A device driver is a software that acts as a translator between a hardware device and the operating system.

22
Q

Advantages of lan

A
  • Speed : LANs offer high-speed data transfer rates compared to other
    networks like WANs (Wide Area Networks).
  • Resource Sharing: Devices on a LAN can easily share resources like
    printers, scanners, and even software licenses.
23
Q

two disadvantages of lan

A
  • Limited Reach: LANs are confined to a small geographical area,
    typically a single building, office floor, or home
  • Security Concerns: While LANs can be secure, they can also be more
    vulnerable than WANs if not properly configured
24
Q

advantages of MAN

A
  • Speed: Much faster than WANs for very quick data movement within
    a city.
  • Security: More secure than WANs due to their smaller coverage area
25
Q

disadvantages of man

A
  • Security: MANs cover a larger area than LANs, making them more
    challenging to secure.
  • Cost: Setting up and maintaining a MAN can be expensive.
26
Q

advantages of wan

A
  • Long Distance Connectivity: This allows businesses with multiple
    offices, organizations with remote branches, or even individuals
    spread across different cities or countries to share resources and
    collaborate seamlessly.
  • Scalability: WANs can be easily scaled to accommodate a growing
    number of users and locations
27
Q

disadvantages of wan

A
  • Slower Speeds and Latency: Due to the vast distances involved, WAN
    connections often experience slower data transfer rates.
  • Higher Cost and Complexity: Troubleshooting and managing security
    across a geographically dispersed network can be more complex than
    with a LAN
28
Q

types of network architecture

A
  1. Peer to peer
  2. Client-server
  3. Centralized network
29
Q

advantages of peer to peer

A
  • Reduced cost :P2P networks eliminate the need for a dedicated
    server, which can be expensive to purchase, maintain, and manage.
  • Simpler setup: Setting up a P2P network is also generally simpler
    compared to client-server networks
30
Q

disadvantage of peer to peer

A
  • Security concerns : Malware and viruses can easily spread through
    P2P networks if proper security software isn’t implemented on each
    device.
  • Performance Issues: Unreliable file availability and unpredictable
    download speeds
31
Q

Two advantages of centralized network

A
  • Centralized control: This allows administrators to easily implement
    and enforce security policies like user authentication, and access
    controls across the entire network.
  • Reliable Data Storage and Access: Centralized networks often store
    data on a central server, ensuring consistent backups and easier
    access controL
32
Q

Two disadvantages of centralized network

A
  • Single Point of Failure: If the server malfunctions or experiences an
    outage, the entire network can become inaccessible.
  • Limited Scalability : Difficult and expensive to scale
33
Q

Two advantages of client server network

A
  • Security & Management: Centralized control on a server allows for
    easier security enforcement and updates for all devices.
  • Performance & Scalability: The server efficiently allocates resources
    and additional clients can be added without overloading the system
34
Q

Two disadvantages of client server
architecture

A
  • Reliance on Server: If the server fails, the entire network can go
    down.
  • Performance Limitations: Too many client requests can overload the
    server, slowing down performance
35
Q

What is topology? And its types

A

Arrangements of computers in Local Area Network.
types:
1. Bus topology
2. Ring topology
3. star topology

36
Q

Advantages of star topology

A

1.Easy Management and Troubleshooting: Centralized control
simplifies network management and fault isolation.
2.Scalability: Devices can be added or removed without disrupting the
network

37
Q

disadvantage of star topology

A
  1. Single point of failure
  2. High initial cost
38
Q

Full form of TCP/ IP and its use

A

Transmission Communication Protocol or Internet Protocol is used to handle communication over the internet.

39
Q

HTTP and its function

A

Hyper text transfer protocol is used to transfer html documents

40
Q

SMTP

A
