English

You manage a network that's connected using a physical star topology. One of the drop cables connecting a workstation has been removed. Which of the following BEST describes the effect that this will have on network communications? No devices will be able to communicate. Devices on one side of the missing cable will be able to communicate with each other, while devices on the other side of the missing cable will not be able to communicate. All devices except the device connected with the drop cable will be able to communicate. Only devices on one side of the missing cable will be able to communicate with each other, while only devices on the other side of the missing cable will be able to communicate with each other. All devices will be able to communicate.

All devices except the device connected with the drop cable will be able to communicate.

You have a network that's connected using a full physical mesh topology. The link between Device A and Device B is broken. Which of the following BEST describes the effect that this will have on network communications? Device A will not be able to communicate with any other device. Device A will be able to communicate with any device except for Device B. Device A will be able to communicate with all other devices. No devices will be able to communicate with any other device.

Device A will be able to communicate with all other devices.

Which of the following networking terms refers to the nodes that send and receive data traffic? Intermediate nodes Network protocols End systems Network links

End systems

When referencing network topologies, what distinguishes half-duplex from full-duplex communication in a point-to-point link? Half-duplex allows for data transmission in both directions, but not simultaneously; full-duplex permits simultaneous two-way data transmission. Half-duplex communication uses a single cable for data transmission, whereas full-duplex requires separate cables for each direction. Half-duplex communication can only occur in one direction, while full-duplex allows for data transmission in both directions but not at the same time. Full-duplex communication is limited to one direction at a time, similar to half-duplex, but it operates at higher speeds.

Half-duplex allows for data transmission in both directions, but not simultaneously; full-duplex permits simultaneous two-way data transmission.

Your company has a network where all devices can communicate with each other as if they were directly connected, regardless of the physical connections. What type of network topology does this describe? Logical topology Star topology Ring topology Mesh topology

Logical topology

A team of network consultants is configuring an Internet of Things (IoT) network. The team is considering network topologies in the context of the IoT devices being used, which are all within 100 meters of one another, are battery-powered, and communicate via the Zigbee protocol. Which of the following network topologies would BEST save power and scale easily to thousands of IoT sensor devices while saving power by cooperating with nearby devices? Mesh Ring Star Bu

Mesh

You've implemented an ad hoc wireless network that doesn't employ a wireless access point. Every wireless network card can communicate directly with any other wireless network card on the network. Which type of physical network topology have you implemented in this network? Ring Bus Star Mesh

Mesh

You own a small business and have decided to set up a network where each computer acts as both a client and a server. This decentralized model should allow for the provisioning, management, and security of services and data that you want distributed around the network. What type of network would BEST meet your requirements? Peer-to-Peer network Client-Server network Virtual Private network Enterprise network

Peer-to-Peer

A growing company has recently moved into a new office space. The company has 50 employees, each with their own workstation. The office also has multiple printers, a centralized server, and requires structured cabling for connectivity. Which type of network would be MOST effective for this setup?
