Network+ Guide to Networks Final Exam
Study Guide 2025
Which statement describes an advantage of networks? - correct answer-*page 2*
*Networks enable multiple users to share resources*
A. Networks require decentralized management.
B. Isolating network devices decreases costs.
C. Isolating network devices allows implementation of the sneakernet file sharing
method.
D. Networks enable multiple users to share resources.
A ________ facilitates communication and resource sharing between other computers
on the network - correct answer-*page 3 protocols*
*page 11* Regardless...the [operating systems] on a *network are able to communicate
with each other* via the *PROTOCOLS* they have in comm. The two primary protocols
are TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and IP (Internet Protocol) and the suite of all
the protocols an OS uses for communication on a network is the TCP/IP suite of
protocols.
*If the choices below are the only choices, the best of these would need to be
"SERVER"*
A. workstation
B. personal computer
C. servlet
D. server
*page 351*: As its name implies, the handshake protocol allows the CLIENT and
SERVER to introduce themselves to each other and establishes terms for how they will
securely exchange date...(when you're reading #2 item on that textpage) The server
may choose to issue to the browser [provides the resource, otherwise referred to as a
service]
________ Networks are the most popular type of network for medium- and large-scale
organizations. - correct answer-*page 9*
*client/server*
, *If a "SMALL" organization would be considered 15 computers or smaller", then peer-to-
peer becomes to cumbersome a topology for the network administrator, once the
network is larger than a small organization*
A. Client/server
B. Stand-alone
C. Peer-to-peer
D. Stationary
NICs contain a(n)_____________, which transmits and receives data signals. - correct
answer-*page 12* network *port*
*page 180 Transceiver*: The NIC contains a transceiver that transmits and receives
data signals over the network media.
A ________________ can interpret physical addressing information. - correct answer-
*bridge*
If these are the choices, then *bridge* is the better choice
.repeater
.NOT switch
.hub
.bridge
URL address: http://geekswithblogs.net/MarkPearl/archive/2012/01/14/computer-
networks-unisa---chap-6-ndash-network-hardware.aspx *bridge definition*: They differ
from repeaters in that *they can interpret physical addressing information*
page 186: *hub's definition*: A hub is an inefficient and outdated networking device that
has been replaced by switches. A hub accepted signals from a transmitting node and
repeated those signals to all other connected nodes in a broadcast fashion.
page 224: *repeater definition* repeater is a device that REtransmits a digital signal in
its original form.

Repeaters operate in the Physical layer of the OSI model thus have *no means to
interpret data* the retransmit
Internet URL address: https://starbounder.org/NOT_Switch
*.NOT switch* definition: NOT Switch is a wiring sensor that can be crafted using the
Wiring Station. It inverts the signal that comes into it.
Which statement accurately describes the OSI model. - correct answer-*It describes a
theoretical representation of what happens between two nodes communicating on a
network*
