WGU C172 NETWORK AND SECURITY - FOUNDATIONS;
PA AND OA SET*** UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS

Question:
1. It is a network of users that share computer resources in a limited area.
Answer:
LAN

Question:
2. Local Area Network
Answer:
LAN

Question:
3. How are Local Area Networks defined?
Answer:
In terms of protocol and the topology used for accessing the network.

Question:
4. A set of rules established for users to exchange information
Answer:
Protocol

Question:
5. The network architecture used to interconnect the networking equipment.
Answer:
Topology

Question:
6. What are the most common topologies for LANs?
Answer:
Ring, Bus, and Star

Question:
7. Uses a token that is placed in the data channel and circulates around the ring.
Answer:
Token Ring topology

Question:
8. A deterministic network
Answer:
Token Ring Topology

,Question:
9. Each station connected to the network ensures access for transmission of its messages at regular or fixed
time intervals
Answer:
Deterministic

Question:
10. What are the disadvantages of the Token Ring system?
Answer:
1. If an error changes the token pattern, it can cause the token to stop circulating.

Question:
11. What is a disadvantage of the Token Ring system from the troubleshooting and maintenance?
Answer:
The token ring path must be temporarily broken or interrupted if a computer or any device on the network
is to be removed or added to the network.

Question:
12. What is a solution to the troubleshooting and maintenance disadvantages of the Token Ring system?
Answer:
Connect each computer or device on the network to a central token ring hub.

Question:
13. A device that manages the passing of the token instead of relying on individual computers to pass it.
Answer:
Token ring hub

Question:
14. How does the token ring hub improve the network?
Answer:
It improves the reliability of the network.

Question:
15. Topology whereas the computers share the media or coaxial cable for data transmission.
Answer:
Bus topology

Question:
16. The coaxial cable that is looped through each networking device to transmit data in a bus topology
Answer:
ThinNet

Question:
17. In this topology, all devices on the network can see each other's data traffic.
Answer:
Bus topology

, Question:
18. Topology whereas each computer must wait for pauses in transmission or until the transmission from
one device is complete before initiating a new transmission onto the network.
Answer:
Bus topology

Question:
19. What are the disadvantages of a bus topology?
Answer:
"1. Data can be corrupted if ore than one device on the network transmits at the same time and will have to
be resubmitted.
2. The use of the shared coaxial cable prevents data transmission from being very bandwidth-efficient."

Question:
20. Which topology is seldomly used in modern networks?
Answer:
Bus topology

Question:
21. What is the most common topology used in today's LANs?
Answer:
Star topology

Question:
22. Topology that uses twisted-pair cables with modular plugs to connect computers and other networking
devices.
Answer:
Star topology

Question:
23. Topology whereas each device is connected to a switch or hub
Answer:
Star

Question:
24. A switch or hub facilitates the transfer of data between networking devices in this topology
Answer:
star

Question:
25. Transmits data to all the devices connected in the star network
Answer:
hub

Question:
26. Also called a multiport repeater
