Cisco 1 Quiz

Which two statements correctly define types of network infrastructure? (Choose two.)

A WLAN is designed to wirelessly interconnect users and end points in a small geographical area. A SAN is designed to support data storage, retrieval, and replication. Refer to curriculum topic: 1.2.2 A WAN is designed to provide access to other networks over a wide geographical area. A WAN, not LAN, is designed to provide slower speed bandwidth between LANs.

allows the end user to use personal tools to communicate across business or campus networks

BYOD Refer to curriculum topic: 1.4.1 Cloud computing allows users to store personal files and back up personal systems over the Internet.

An_______ is a private connection of LANs and WANs that belongs to an organization, and is designed to be accessible only by the members and employees of the organization, or others with authorization.

Intranet Refer to curriculum topic: 1.2.3 Intranets connect LANs and WANs that should only be accessible by internal employees, whereas an extranet allows organizations to do business directly with other external organizations by allowing them access to part of the internal network.

For which three reasons was a packet-switched connectionless data communications technology used when developing the Internet? (Choose three.)

It can rapidly adapt to the failure of network devices and communication links. Data packets can travel through the network using multiple different paths. Network devices dynamically decide on the best available path to forward each packet.

The farther you are from the central office when utilizing a DSL connection, the_______ the connection speed.

Slower Refer to curriculum topic: 1.2.4 The quality of a DSL connection relies heavily on the quality of the telephone lines and the distance the signal has to travel to reach the central office. If the phone lines are of poor quality, or the signal has to travel too far, the maximum achievable bandwidth will be lower.

Which statement describes a network that supports QoS?

The network provides predictable levels of service to different types of traffic. Refer to curriculum topic: 1.3.2 QoS means that the network can deliver services in a predictable, measurable, and, if necessary, guaranteed manner. QoS uses classification and queuing to manage the delivery of data, minimizing delay and packet loss.

Which type of network design combines voice, video, and data on the same communication channel?

a converged network Refer to curriculum topic: 1.3.1 Traditional networks used separate, dedicated networks for voice, video, and data. A converged network combines all three types of traffic on a single network, thus introducing new ways for people to communicate and interact.

In which scenario would the use of a WISP be recommended?

a farm in a rural area without wired broadband access Refer to curriculum topic: 1.4.2 Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) are typically found in rural areas where DSL or cable access is not available. A dish or antenna on the property of the subscriber connects wirelessly to a WISP transmitter, eliminating the need for physical cabling outside the building.

What is a wiki?

a web page that groups of people can edit and review Refer to curriculum topic: 1.1.1 A wiki involves groups of people who create, edit, and share knowledge. A wiki can contain audio files, video files, podcasts, and other types of media as well as written information. Unlike a blog, a wiki is designed for group sharing and extensive review.

allows the use of applications through a web browser via web-based computing

cloud computing Refer to curriculum topic: 1.4.1 Cloud computing allows users to store personal files and back up personal systems over the Internet.

Refer to the exhibit. Which term correctly identifies the device type that is included in the area B?

intermediary Refer to curriculum topic: 1.2.1 Routers and switches are intermediary devices. End devices consist of PCs, laptops, and servers. They also include printers, VoIP phones, security cameras, and hand-held devices.

provides the end users with tools to work together regardless of physical location

online collaboration Refer to curriculum topic: 1.3.2 Scalable networks can expand both quickly and easily to support new users, applications, and services without affecting performance.

What are two benefits of collaboration and video-on-demand applications? (Choose two.)

providing a richer e-learning environment providing better social media opportunities Refer to curriculum topic: 1.1.1 Networks now can provide on-demand video and enable mobile learning to support new ways of teaching and learning.

A __________network is able to expand to accept new devices and applications without affecting performance.

scalable Refer to curriculum topic: 1.3.2 Scalable networks can expand both quickly and easily to support new users, applications, and services without affecting performance.

During a routine inspection, a technician discovered that software that was installed on a computer was secretly collecting data about websites that were visited by users of the computer. Which type of threat is affecting this computer?

spyware Refer to curriculum topic: 1.4.3 Spyware is software that is installed on a network device and that collects information.

A data center has recently updated a physical server to host multiple operating systems on a single CPU. The data center can now provide each customer with a separate web server without having to allocate an actual discrete server for each customer. What is the networking trend that is being implemented by the data center in this situation?

virtualization Refer to curriculum topic: 1.4.1 Virtualization technology can run several different operating systems in parallel on a single CPU.
