    • Local Area Network

    • Local Arena Network

    • Long Area Network

    Correct Answer
    A. Local Area Network
    Explanation
    A LAN stands for Local Area Network. It is a computer network that connects devices within a limited geographical area, such as a home, office building, or campus. LANs are typically used to share resources, such as printers and files, and to facilitate communication between devices. They are characterized by high data transfer rates, low latency, and private ownership.

    Correct Answer
    A. Wide Area Network
    Explanation
    A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a type of computer network that spans a large geographical area, typically connecting multiple local area networks (LANs) together. It allows for the transmission of data, voice, and video over long distances, often using leased lines or satellite links. WANs are commonly used by businesses and organizations to connect their offices located in different cities or countries. They provide a secure and reliable means of communication between remote locations, enabling employees to access shared resources and collaborate effectively.

    Correct Answer
    A. Popular technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data wirelessly
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "popular technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data wirelessly." Wi-Fi, short for wireless fidelity, is a widely used technology that enables devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets to connect to the internet and exchange data without the need for physical cables. It uses radio waves to transmit data over a wireless network, providing convenience and flexibility for users to access the internet and communicate with other devices.

    A. Wide
    Explanation
    The term "Wide" in the given options suggests that the correct answer is "Wide Area Network." A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a type of computer network that covers a large geographical area, such as cities, countries, or even continents. This network allows the connection of multiple local area networks (LANs) across a wide area, enabling communication and data transfer between different locations. Therefore, the option "Wide" accurately describes the network that covers a large geographical area.

    The internet is what type of network?

    • PAN

    • MAN

    • LAN

    • WAN

    Correct Answer
    A. WAN
    Explanation
    A Wide Area Network (WAN) is the correct answer because it refers to a network that spans a large geographical area, typically connecting multiple smaller networks together. The internet is a prime example of a WAN, as it connects computers and devices from all over the world, allowing them to communicate and share information.

    • Skynet

    • VoIP

    • Telenet

    • Intertel

    Correct Answer
    A. VoIP
    Explanation
    VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, which is a technology that allows users to make telephone calls over the internet. It converts voice signals into digital data packets and transmits them over an IP network, enabling communication between individuals using different devices and platforms. This technology has revolutionized the telecommunications industry by providing cost-effective and efficient communication solutions. Skynet, Telenet, and Intertel are not specific technologies related to making telephone calls over the internet, making VoIP the correct answer.

    The purpose of a firewall on computer networks is to ..

    • Prevent computers from overheating

    • Prevent unwanted network connections from being made

    • Allow pictures and video to be downloaded from a camera to a computer

    • Allow more than 4 computers to share the same Internet connection

    Correct Answer
    A. Prevent unwanted network connections from being made
    Explanation
    A firewall is a security measure that is used to prevent unauthorized access to a computer network. It acts as a barrier between the internal network and external networks, such as the internet, and monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic. By doing so, it can identify and block any unwanted network connections that may be attempting to gain access to the network, thus protecting the network from potential security threats and unauthorized access.

    Every NIC has a unique serial number called a ..

    • MAC Address

    • IP Address

    • Host Address

    • Serial Number

    Correct Answer
    A. MAC Address
    Explanation
    A MAC address is a unique serial number assigned to every network interface card (NIC) in a computer or other network device. It is used to identify the device on a network and is composed of six pairs of hexadecimal digits separated by colons or hyphens. Unlike an IP address, which can change depending on the network the device is connected to, a MAC address is permanent and cannot be changed. Therefore, the MAC address is the correct answer to the question.

    A computer must have an IP address when… (Select all correct answers)

    • Connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot

    • Connecting to a home network router

    • Playing media from the hard drive

    • Communicating with another computer using TCP

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot
    A. Connecting to a home network router
    A. Communicating with another computer using TCP
    Explanation
    A computer must have an IP address when connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot, connecting to a home network router, and communicating with another computer using TCP. In order to connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot or a home network router, the computer needs an IP address to identify itself on the network and establish a connection. Similarly, when communicating with another computer using TCP, IP addresses are used to route the data packets between the sender and receiver. Playing media from the hard drive does not require an IP address as it is a local operation within the computer.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    An IP address is a numeric quantity that identifies… (Select all correct answers)

    • A network adapter to other devices on the network

    • The physical location of a computer

    • None of these answers

    • The manufacturer of a computer

    Correct Answer
    A. A network adapter to other devices on the network
    Explanation
    An IP address is a numeric quantity that identifies a network adapter to other devices on the network. It is a unique identifier assigned to each device connected to a network, allowing them to communicate and exchange data with other devices on the same network. The IP address helps in routing the data packets to the correct destination and establishing connections between devices. It does not indicate the physical location of a computer or the manufacturer of a computer.
