    C. C. Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP)
    Explanation
    RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol) is a network layer protocol that provides the IP address for a device that knows its own MAC address. RARP is used in situations where a device wants to obtain its IP address dynamically, but only knows its MAC address. The device sends a RARP request to a RARP server, which maps the MAC address to an IP address and sends it back to the device. This allows the device to configure its IP address without manual configuration.

    Which Transport layer protocol does not guarantee that packets will be received at all?

    • A.

      A. Internet protocol (IP)

    • B.

      B. User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

    • C.

      C. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

    • D.

      D. Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)

    Correct Answer
    B. B. User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
    Explanation
    UDP is a connectionless transport layer protocol that does not guarantee the delivery of packets. Unlike TCP, which provides reliable and ordered delivery of packets, UDP is a best-effort protocol. It does not have mechanisms for error detection, retransmission of lost packets, or flow control. This makes UDP a suitable choice for applications that prioritize low latency and are tolerant of occasional packet loss, such as real-time streaming or online gaming.

    Which Application layer protocol is used to send and receive files by way of transmission control protocol/interent protocol (TCP/IP)?

    • A.

      A. File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

    • B.

      B. Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)

    • C.

      C. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

    • D.

      D. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

    Correct Answer
    A. A. File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
    Explanation
    FTP is the correct answer because it is an application layer protocol that is specifically designed for sending and receiving files over TCP/IP. FTP allows users to transfer files between a client and a server, providing a reliable and efficient method for file sharing over a network. TFTP, SMTP, and HTTP are also application layer protocols, but they serve different purposes and are not primarily used for file transfer.

    Which protocol is simpler than File Transfer Protocol (FTP) when transferring files between computers?

    • A.

      A. FTP

    • B.

      B. Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)

    • C.

      C. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

    • D.

      Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

    Correct Answer
    B. B. Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
    Explanation
    TFTP is simpler than FTP when transferring files between computers. TFTP is a lightweight protocol that only supports basic file transfer functionality, while FTP is a more complex protocol that offers additional features such as directory listing and file permissions. TFTP is commonly used in scenarios where simplicity and speed are more important than advanced functionality, such as booting diskless workstations or updating firmware on network devices.

    Which Application layer protocol is a terminal emulation used to log on to remote hosts?

    • A.

      A. Teletype Network

    • B.

      B. Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)

    • C.

      C. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

    • D.

      D. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Teletype Network
    Explanation
    Teletype Network is the correct answer because it is an application layer protocol that is used for terminal emulation. Terminal emulation allows users to log on to remote hosts and interact with them as if they were using a physical terminal. Teletype Network specifically refers to the use of teletype machines for this purpose.

  • 37. 

    Which Application layer protocol is an automated means of assigning a unique internet protocol (IP) address to every device on a network?

    • A.

      A. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

    • B.

      B. Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)

    • C.

      C. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

    • D.

      D. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
    Explanation
    DHCP is an application layer protocol that automates the process of assigning IP addresses to devices on a network. It allows network administrators to centrally manage and allocate IP addresses to devices, ensuring that each device has a unique address. DHCP eliminates the need for manual IP address configuration, making it more efficient and scalable for large networks. TFTP is a file transfer protocol, SMTP is used for sending emails, and HTTP is used for transferring hypertext. None of these protocols are specifically designed for assigning IP addresses.
