WGU D315 Section 1 Introduction to Networking
Concepts questions with verified answers
a network configuration where each device (node) in the network is connected
directly to a central hub or switch, which acts as a conduit to transmit data
between devices. This central device manages and controls the flow of data in the
network. Ans✓✓✓-Star Topology
a network configuration where each device (node) is connected directly to two
other devices, forming a circular pathway or ring. Data travels from one device to
the next in a unidirectional manner until it reaches its destination. Ans✓✓✓-Ring
Topology
a network configuration where each device (node) is connected to a single central
cable, known as the bus or backbone. Data sent from a device travels along the
bus in both directions and can be received by all other devices on the network.
Ans✓✓✓-Bus Topology
a network configuration where each node is interconnected with every other
node in the network. This type of topology is characterized by the redundancy
and reliability it offers, as there are multiple paths for data to travel between
nodes. Ans✓✓✓-Mesh Topology
a network that connects computers and devices in a limited geographical area
such as a home, school, office building, or a group of buildings, typically within a
range of a few hundred meters to a few kilometers. Ans✓✓✓-LAN(Local Area
Network)
, a type of cloud computing environment where services and infrastructure are
provided by a third-party provider and shared among multiple organizations or
the general public. Ans✓✓✓-Public Cloud Deployment
a type of cloud computing environment where the cloud infrastructure is
dedicated to a single organization. Ans✓✓✓-Private Cloud Deployment
a type of network that spans a large geographical area, often a country, continent,
or even globally. Can connect multiple LANs and other types of networks
together, allowing computers and users in one location to communicate with
those in other locations. Ans✓✓✓-WAN(Wide Area Network)
Deals with the physical connection between devices and the transmission of raw
binary data over a communication medium. Examples: Ethernet cables, fiber
optics, radio frequencies. DSL, ISDN, Ethernet, WIFI, Fiber Optic Communication,
Bluetooth, USB, Infrared Communication Ans✓✓✓-Physical Layer
Handles logical addressing, routing, and packet forwarding between devices on
different networks. Determines the best path for data to travel from the source to
the destination. IP, IPX, IPSec, RIP, IPv4, IPv6, ICMP, Router, Layer 3 switches.
Ans✓✓✓-Network Layer
is a cloud computing model that delivers software applications over the internet,
on a subscription basis. Instead of installing and maintaining software locally,
users can access these applications through a web browser. Ans✓✓✓-Software
as a Service (SaaS)
