WGU D315 EXAM WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS!!
It is a network of users sharing computer resources within a limited area. - ANSWER
LAN
Local Area Network - ANSWER LAN
How are the Local Area Networks defined? - ANSWER In terms of protocol and
topology used for accessing the network.
Set of rules laid down for the users to exchange information - ANSWER Protocol
Network architecture being used to interconnect the equipment of networking. -
ANSWER Topology
What are the most common topologies for LANs? - ANSWER Ring, Bus, and Star
Uses a token that is put in the data channel and circles around the ring. - ANSWER
Token Ring topology
A deterministic network - ANSWER Token Ring Topology
Each station connected to the network ensures access for transmission of its messages
at regular or fixed time intervals - ANSWER Deterministic
What are some disadvantages in Token Ring? ANSWER 1. An error, changing the
pattern of the token will lead to stop circulating of a token.
,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.
What is one solution to the Token Ring system's disadvantages in troubleshooting and
maintenance? - ANSWER Connect each computer or device on the network to a
central token ring hub.
A device that manages the passing of the token instead of relying on individual
computers to pass it. - ANSWER Token ring hub
How does the token ring hub improve the network? - ANSWER It improves the
reliability of the network.
Topology whereas the computers share the media or coaxial cable for data
transmission. - ANSWER Bus topology
The coaxial cable that is looped through each networking device to transmit data in a
bus topology - ANSWER ThinNet
Devices on this type of topology can see data traffic of every single other device. -
ANSWER Bus topology
Topology where each computer has to wait for breaks in transmission or for the time
when the transmission from one device is complete, in order to initiate a new
transmission onto the network. - ANSWER Bus topology
What are some of 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."
, Which of the following topologies is seldom used in today's networks? - ANSWER Bus
topology
What is the most common topology used in today's LANs? - ANSWER Star topology
Topology that uses twisted-pair cables with modular plugs to connect computers and
other networking devices. - ANSWER Star topology
Topology whereas each device is connected to a switch or hub - ANSWER Star
A switch or hub facilitates the transfer of data between networking devices in this
topology - ANSWER star
Sends data to all the devices connected in the star network - ANSWER hub
Also referred to as a multiport repeater - ANSWER hub
Designed for small networks-not designed for large networks, but still used in some of
the smaller, slower speed LANs - ANSWER hub
A hub transmission in a star network to all the devices in the network connected to the
hub - ANSWER broadcast
Stores in a star network the hardware or physical address for each device connected to
its ports - ANSWER switch
Sends data transmissions directly to the port of the destination device on the network -
ANSWER switch
