easy to create lacks centralized administration less cost to implement Explanation: Because network devices and dedicated servers are not required, peer-to-peer networks are easy to create, less complex, and have lower costs. Peer-to-peer networks also have no centralized administration. They are less secure, not scalable, and those devices acting as both client and server may perform slower.

A company is contemplating whether to use a client/server or a peer-to-peer network. What are three characteristics of a peer-to-peer network? (Choose three.)

data confidentiality Explanation: A security policy requiring strong, complex passwords contributes to data confidentiality because only authorized users can access the data.

A network administrator is implementing a policy that requires strong, complex passwords. Which data protection goal does this policy support?

implementing a firewall installing antivirus software Explanation: Technically complex security measures such as intrusion prevention and intrusion prevention systems are usually associated with business networks rather than home networks. Installing antivirus software, antimalware software, and implementing a firewall will usually be the minimum requirements for home networks. Installing a home wireless network will not improve network security, and will require further security actions to be taken.

A user is implementing security on a small office network. Which two actions would provide the minimum security requirements for this network? (Choose two.)

an intranet Explanation: Intranet is a term used to refer to a private connection of LANs and WANs that belongs to an organization. An intranet is designed to be accessible only by the organization's members, employees, or others with authorization.

An employee at a branch office is creating a quote for a customer. In order to do this, the employee needs to access confidential pricing information from internal servers at the Head Office. What type of network would the employee access? an intranet the Internet an extranet a local area network

byod

The acronym ___refers to the policy that allows employees to use their personal devices in the business office to access the network and other resources.

They originate the data that flows through the network. They are the interface between humans and the communication network. Explanation: End devices originate the data that flows through the network. Intermediary devices direct data over alternate paths in the event of link failures and filter the flow of data to enhance security. Network media provide the channel through which network messages travel.

What are two functions of end devices on a network? (Choose two.) They originate the data that flows through the network. They direct data over alternate paths in the event of link failures. They filter the flow of data to enhance security. They are the interface between humans and the communication network. They provide the channel over which the network message travels.

it delivers data, voice, and video over the same network infrastructure Explanation: A converged network is one in which multiple technologies such as data, telephone, and video are all delivered on the same network infrastructure.

What is a characteristic of a converged network?

It provides connections through interconnected global networks. Explanation: The Internet provides global connections that enable networked devices (workstations and mobile devices) with different network technologies, such as Ethernet, DSL/cable, and serial connections, to communicate. A private network for an organization with LAN and WAN connections is an intranet.

What is the Internet?

capturing of personal data that leads to identity theft Explanation: On a personal PC, denial of service to servers, worms and viruses, and spyware producing spam emails can be annoying, invasive, and frustrating. However, identity theft can be devastating and life altering. Security solutions should be in place on all personal devices to protect against this type of threat.

What security violation would cause the most amount of damage to the life of a home user?

the distance the selected medium can successfully carry a signal the environment where the selected medium is to be installed Explanation: Criteria for choosing a network medium are the distance the selected medium can successfully carry a signal, the environment in which the selected medium is to be installed, the amount of data and the speed at which the data must be transmitted, and the cost of the medium and its installation.

What two criteria are used to help select a network medium from various network media? (Choose two.)

the Internet Explanation: Home users will go online shopping over the Internet because online vendors are accessed through the Internet. An intranet is basically a local area network for internal use only. An extranet is a network for external partners to access certain resources inside an organization. A home user does not necessarily need a LAN to access the Internet. For example, a PC connects directly to the ISP through a modem.

What type of network must a home user access in order to do online shopping?

video conferencing Explanation: Video conferencing utilizes real-time audio and video communications. Both of these are time-sensitive and bandwidth-intensive forms of communication that require quality of service to be active on the network. QoS will ensure an uninterrupted user experience.

What type of network traffic requires QoS?

wireless LAN Explanation: An extranet is a network area where people or corporate partners external to the company access data. An intranet simply describes the network area that is normally accessed only by internal personnel. The wired LAN is affected by BYODs (bring your own devices) when the devices attach to the wired network. A college wireless LAN is most likely used by the tablet and smartphone. A wireless WAN would more likely be used by college students to access their cell provider network.

Which area of the network would a college IT staff most likely have to redesign as a direct result of many students bringing their own tablets and smartphones to school to access school resources? extranet intranet wired LAN wireless LAN wireless WAN

a router Explanation: A router is used to determine the path that the messages should take through the network. A firewall is used to filter incoming and outgoing traffic. A DSL modem is used to provide Internet connection for a home or an organization.

Which device performs the function of determining the path that messages should take through internetworks?

a measure of the data carrying capacity of the media Explanation: A method of limiting the impact of a hardware or software failure is fault tolerance. A measure of the data carrying capacity is bandwidth. A set of techniques to manage the utilization of network resources is QoS. A state where the demand on the network resources exceeds the available capacity is called congestion.

Which expression accurately defines the term bandwidth? a method of limiting the impact of a hardware or software failure on the network a measure of the data carrying capacity of the media a state where the demand on the network resources exceeds the available capacity a set of techniques to manage the utilization of network resources

BYOD Explanation: BYOD, or bring your own device, is a trend in networking where users are allowed to use personal devices and tools on business and campus networks.

Which networking trend involves the use of personal tools and devices for accessing resources on a business or campus network?

Applications can be accessed over the Internet by individual users or businesses using any device, anywhere in the world. Explanation: Cloud computing allows users to access applications, back up and store files, and perform tasks without needing additional software or servers. Cloud users access resources through subscription-based or pay-per-use services, in real time, using nothing more than a web browser.

Which statement describes a characteristic of cloud computing? A business can connect directly to the Internet without the use of an ISP. Applications can be accessed over the Internet by individual users or businesses using any device, anywhere in the world. Devices can connect to the Internet through existing electrical wiring. Investment in new infrastructure is required in order to access the cloud.

A device connects to an existing home LAN using an adapter and an existing electrical outlet. Explanation: Powerline networking adds the ability to connect a device to the network using an adapter wherever there is an electrical outlet.​ The network uses existing electrical wiring to send data. It is not a replacement for physical cabling, but it can add functionality in places where wireless access points cannot be used or cannot reach devices.​

Which statement describes the use of powerline networking technology? New "smart" electrical cabling is used to extend an existing home LAN. A home LAN is installed without the use of physical cabling. A device connects to an existing home LAN using an adapter and an existing electrical outlet.
