DEC30023 - Computer Network Fundamentals
Assignment 1
1. What is a network?
A. One computer.
B. Two or more computers.
C. A series of telephone lines.

2. What is the key benefit of working in a network?

A. Sharing information and resources.
B. It's cheap.
C. Security.

3. What is the main problem with large networks?

A. Logging on.
B. Sharing information.
C. Viruses.

4. Define a network
= Network is a group of computers and devices and connected by transmission media.

5. Define a stand-alone computer.

= Is not connected to other computers and uses local software and data.

6. Describe the advantages of using networks relative to stand-alone computers.

 Better communication.
 Resource sharing
 Centralized data management
 Software sharing
 Efficient backup

7. Which of the following is not the characteristics of a peer-to-peer network?

A. It has centralized security and administration.
B. A computer can be both a client or server.
C. A limited number of computers are involved.
D. It does not require a central server.

8. Which of the following distinguishes peer-to-peer networks from client/server networks?

A. In peer-to-peer networks, only one computer can send and receive transmissions on the network.
B. In peer-to-peer networks, only one type of protocol suite can be used to send and receive data.
C. In peer-to-peer networks, a central computer manages all file and print sharing.
D. In peer-to-peer networks, no single computer has more authority than another, by default.

9. Which of the following is the most accurate description of clients in client/server architecture?
A. Hardware devices which provide end users with access to data and services on the server.
B. All devices connected to a network.
C. Desktop computers with a wired connection and laptop computers with a wireless connection.
D. Computers connected to a network used for downloading data from a server.

10. A client is any part of the network that receive data.

A. True.
B. False.

11. You are a member of a club that deal with computer networks, the club have taking a project to build a MAN,
where would this project likely to take place?
A. Small building / organization.
B. University or college.
C. Home.
D. None of the above.

12. In your school there is a library and you are able to use the internet to do research, this library will most likely
to be a WAN network?
A. True.
B. False.
13. What are some of the factors that determine whether a communication system is a LAN
or WAN?
WAN = A communication network distinguished from a Local Area Network. Range is
beyond 100km.
LAN = A communication network linking a number of stations in same local area Range is 1
to 10km.

14. Physical or logical arrangement of network is:

A. Topology.
B. Routing.
C. Networking.
D. None of the mentioned.

15. In this topology there is a central controller or hub

A. Star.
B. Mesh.
C. Ring.
D. Bus.

16. This topology requires multipoint connection

A. Star.
B. Mesh.
C. Ring.
D. Bus.

17. A ____________ is a LAN architecture that consists of a series of computer connected to each others by one
direction; transmission links to form a single closed loop.
A. Ring topology
B. Bus topology
C. Star topology
D. Hybrid topology

18. A loose terminator gets separated from coaxial cable making it open at one end in Bus topology. Will this
network work?
=NO

19. A cable which was not properly attached with the hub is accidentally pulled out from hub in star topology.
Will this network work?
=Yes

20. Due to fluctuation in light a centralized hub is burnt in star topology. Although all connected devices and
cables are unaffected, will these devices be able to access the network?
= If it affected the node,it will cause the network failure

21. A cable which connects two devices in Ring topology broke. Will remaining devices work normally?
=No

22. Draw a hybrid topology with a star backbone and three ring networks.
=
23. Draw a hybrid topology with a ring backbone and two bus networks.
MIND MAP FOR 2.5 AND 2.6.

EMAIL CLIENTS
INTERNET E-MAIL  An email is a
WORKS software
application that is
 To administratea
mail server on the
used to send
internet requires receive,store and
knowledge of howe view e-mail
e-mail works

2.5 Apply E-
mail client to
access an e-mail
server

SENDING AND RECEIVING MAIL

 To send internet email ,requires
an internet connection and
access to a mail server.
 If the recipient is remote (at
another domain),the STAMP
server communicates with a a
Domain Name server (DNS) to
find the corresponding IP
address for the domain being
sent to.
 Network classes
An IP Address contains
4 number -These IP address are divided into
classes.
-32 Bits =4 Bytes
-The most common of these are
classes A, B, and C.

2.6 Apply the addressing scheme of TCP/IP:TCP/IP

Suite
