WGU D322 - INTRODUCTION TO IT
SECTION 4 COMPUTER NETWORKS
QUESTIONS & VERIFIED ANSWERS
RATED 100% CORRECT
Networking - CORRECT ANSWER Sharing information and resources through linked
computer systems.
Network Types - PAN (Personal Area Network) - CORRECT ANSWER A computer in
the middle and other devices (including a cell phone, tablet, wireless mouse, wireless
headset, and printer) connected to it.
Network Types - LAN (Local Area Network) - CORRECT ANSWER Consist of a
collection of computers in a single building or building complex. (e.g., A router in the
middle with various other devices such as workstations, a cell phone, a tablet, and
printer connected.)
Network Types - WAN (Wide Area Network) - CORRECT ANSWER Link systems over
a greater distance including machines on the opposite sides of the world.
TCP/IP Protocol - CORRECT ANSWER Communication over the internet is governed
by an open collection of standards by this protocol. Anyone is free to use these
protocols without paying fees or signing license agreements.
Four Common Network Topology - CORRECT ANSWER Bus, Star, Ring, and Mesh
(Bus and Star network topologies are the most common).
Network Topology - BUS - CORRECT ANSWER Machines are connected to a
common communication line. It became popular in the 1990s when it was implemented
under a set of standards/protocols known as the Ethernet.
Network Topology - Star - CORRECT ANSWER Have a single machine serving as a
central point to which all others are connected. (Various computers connected in the
middle by a router). Roots as far back as the 1970s when it evolved from the idea of a
large central computer system servicing many users at once.
In wireless networks where communication is carried out via radio broadcast to a central
machine called the access point (AP).
Network Topology - Ring - CORRECT ANSWER Connect directly to each other as a
peer.
