computer network - CORRECT ANSWER-comprises two or more computers that are
connected—either by cables (wired) or WiFi (wireless)—with the purpose of transmitting,
exchanging, or sharing data and resources.
- PAN
- LAN
- MAN
- WAN - CORRECT ANSWER-What are the Computer Network Types?
PAN (personal area network) - CORRECT ANSWER-- serves one person. For example, if you
have an iPhone and a Mac, it's very likely you've set up a ___ that shares and syncs
content—text messages, emails, photos, and more—across both devices
LAN (local area network) - CORRECT ANSWER-- connects computers over a relatively short
distance, allowing them to share data, files, and resources.
- are privately owned and managed
MAN (metropolitan area network) - CORRECT ANSWER-- are typically larger than LANs but
smaller than WANs.
- Cities and government entities typically own and manage __
WAN (wide area network) - CORRECT ANSWER-- connects computers over a wide area, such
as from region to region or even continent to continent
- largest; connecting billions of computers worldwide
Network Topologies - CORRECT ANSWER-Patterns which the networks are organized to
perform without experiencing problems
bus topology - CORRECT ANSWER-- most basic forms of network topology
- the bus actually refers to the main central wire or cable that connects all the network and
peripheral devices on the network.
- used to create small local area networks (LANs).
- also called the backbone.
- this type of topology is utilized in Ethernet systems.
star topology - CORRECT ANSWER-- in this type of topology, all the devices are connected to a
central computer or server in a star-shaped arrangement.
ring topology - CORRECT ANSWER-in this arrangement, the peripherals and devices are
connected with one another to form a ring; data travels across each device in a closed loop and
each device can access that data.
