Introduction to networks
What is the basic purpose of a local area network (LAN) ? - ANS-Two of the primary uses of
LAN are: Wifi and Ethernet technologies.
Two of the primary uses of LAN are: Wifi and Ethernet technologies. - ANS-a group or system of
interconnected people or things. Each computer or device on the network is a node. Wired
LANs are most likely based on ethernet technology. Newer standards such as ITU-T G.hn also
provide a way to create a wiredLAN using existing wiring, such as coaxial cables, telephone
lines, and power lines.
In what language does computers talk to each other? - ANS-Computers communicate through
programming and coding.
What are small groups of LAN's called? - ANS-A LAN party is a gathering of people with
computers or compatible game consoles, between which they establish a local area network
(LAN), primarily for the purpose of playing multiplayer video games.
What is a computer workgroup? - ANS-A workgroup is Microsoft's term for peer-to-peer local
area network. Computers running Microsoft operating systems in the same work group may
share files, printers, or Internet connection.
What is a router? - ANS-is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer
networks.
What are the three most common network components and what do they do? -
ANS-Workstation - is a special computer designed for technical or scientific applications.
Servers - is a powerful computer connected to your business network. Network servers have
many functions and can form an important part of your computer network.
Hosts- is a computer or other device connected to a computer network. A network host may
offer information resources, services, and applications to users or other nodes on the network.
What is a client machine? - ANS-is a piece of computer hardware or software that accesses a
service made available by a server.
What do the following servers do? - ANS-File server- is a computer attached to a network that
has the primary purpose of providing a location for shared disk access.
Mail servers- is a server that handles and delivers e-mail over a network, usually over the
Internet. A mail server can receive emails from client computers and deliver them to other mail
servers.
Print servers - is a device that connects printers to client computers over a network.
