    what is a network repeater?

    • A repeater is something that repeats something e.g. songs

    • A network repeater is a device used to expand the boundaries of a wired or wireless (WiFi) local area network (LAN).

    • Repeater is a something that connects your computer

    Correct Answer
    A. A network repeater is a device used to expand the boundaries of a wired or wireless (WiFi) local area network (LAN).
    Explanation
    A network repeater is a device that is used to extend the range of a wired or wireless local area network (LAN). It receives the network signal and amplifies it before transmitting it again, effectively increasing the coverage area of the network. This allows devices that are located far from the main network source to connect and communicate with the network. By repeating and boosting the signal, a network repeater helps to improve the overall network performance and connectivity.

    Ping

    • A measurement of data transferred to your local station from a specific network source.

    • A computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network; it is also used to self test the Network Interface Card (NIC) of the computer.

    • A sound used for testing your computer speakers.

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. A computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network; it is also used to self test the Network Interface Card (NIC) of the computer.
    Explanation
    The answer is a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network; it is also used to self-test the Network Interface Card (NIC) of the computer. This is because the term "Ping" is commonly used in computer networking to refer to the act of sending a small packet of data from one computer to another and measuring the time it takes for the packet to be sent and received. This helps in determining the connectivity and latency between the two devices. Additionally, the mention of testing the NIC further reinforces the network testing aspect of "Ping".

    What are the four types of networks?

    • Bus Ring Star Mesh

    • Flower Water Rain Main

    • Coke Ring Flower Mash

    Correct Answer
    A. Bus Ring Star Mesh
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Bus Ring Star Mesh. These are the four types of network topologies commonly used in computer networking. A bus network consists of a single cable that connects all devices in a linear fashion. A ring network forms a closed loop where each device is connected to two other devices. A star network has a central hub or switch that connects all devices. And a mesh network has multiple connections between devices, creating a redundant and fault-tolerant network.

    One MB is equal to...

    • One thousand bytes

    • 1 billion bytes

    • The amount of RAM in every computer

    • 1024KB

    Correct Answer
    A. 1024KB
    Explanation
    One MB is equal to 1024KB. In computer systems, memory is often measured in bytes, with kilobytes (KB) and megabytes (MB) being common units. The prefix "kilo" represents 1000, so 1 kilobyte is equal to 1000 bytes. However, in binary systems, memory is often measured in powers of 2, so 1 kilobyte is considered to be 1024 bytes. Therefore, 1 megabyte is equal to 1024 kilobytes, or 1024KB.

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. A measurement of how much information can be carried in a given time period (usually a second) over a wired or wireless communications link.
    Explanation
    Bandwidth refers to the measurement of how much information can be carried in a given time period, typically a second, over a wired or wireless communications link. It represents the capacity or speed at which data can be transferred from the server to the client. This term is commonly used to describe the capacity of an internet connection, indicating the amount of data that can be transmitted within a specific timeframe.

    Correct Answer
    A. Keyboard
    Explanation
    An output device is a device that displays or presents information to the user. In this question, the options given are Printer, Monitor, Modem, and Keyboard. Printer and Monitor are both examples of output devices as they produce visual or printed output. Modem, on the other hand, is a communication device used to connect to the internet and is not primarily used for outputting information. However, the Keyboard is an input device as it is used to input data or commands into a computer rather than displaying or presenting information. Therefore, the correct answer is Keyboard.

    __________ groups are a collection of user accounts that are local to one specific workstation or member server.

    • Distribution

    • Local

    • Built-in

    • Security

    Correct Answer
    A. Local
    Explanation
    Local groups are a collection of user accounts that are specific to one particular workstation or member server. These groups are used to manage access and permissions on that specific machine. They are not distributed across a network or domain, but rather limited to the local environment. Local groups are typically used to grant or deny access to resources on a single machine, making them an important tool for managing security and user accounts within a specific workstation or server.

    What is the first question a computer technician should ask a user that is having issues with a software application after receiving a help desk request by phone or email?

    • Have you rebooted?

    • May I please have your name and phone number?

    • Is this computer a Dell?

    Correct Answer
    A. May I please have your name and phone number?
    Explanation
    The first question a computer technician should ask a user that is having issues with a software application after receiving a help desk request by phone or email is "May I please have your name and phone number?" This is because it is important for the technician to have the user's contact information in order to provide assistance and follow up if needed. Rebooting the computer and asking about the computer's brand are troubleshooting steps that may come later in the conversation, but gathering the user's information is the first priority.

    If you're diagnosing an issue with a printing issue, what is the first step in diagnosing the problem?

    • Ask the user to determine if the fuser is functional.

    • Determine if the printer is connected to the local machine or a network printer.

    • Ask the user if the printer is turned on.

    • Ask the user if there is paper in the printer

    Correct Answer
    A. Ask the user if the printer is turned on.
    Explanation
    The first step in diagnosing a printing issue is to ask the user if the printer is turned on. This is because if the printer is not turned on, it will not be able to perform any printing tasks. By confirming if the printer is turned on, it helps to identify if the issue is simply a matter of power supply.

    What does a network bridge do?

    • Connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model

    • Connects multiple segments to the network

    Correct Answer
    A. Connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model
    Explanation
    A network bridge is a device or software that connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. It allows different network segments to communicate with each other by forwarding data packets between them. By doing so, it effectively extends the network and enables devices on different segments to communicate as if they were on the same network. This helps to improve network performance, increase network capacity, and enhance network flexibility.
