How do you terminate a 10BaseT cable?

  1. 50 Ohm Terminator

  2. Crimp Connector

  3. Null Connector

  4. Loop Connection

  5. No Termination Needed


Correct Option: E

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the termination requirements for a 10BaseT cable.

A 10BaseT cable is an Ethernet cable that operates at a speed of 10 megabits per second (Mbps) and uses the twisted pair cable technology. In this type of cable, termination is not required.

Termination is typically used in certain types of cables, such as coaxial cables, to prevent signal reflections at the end of the cable. However, in the case of 10BaseT cables, termination is not needed because the twisted pair cable technology used in these cables already provides sufficient signal integrity.

Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

A) 50 Ohm Terminator - This option is incorrect because a 50 Ohm terminator is typically used for terminating coaxial cables, not twisted pair cables like 10BaseT.

B) Crimp Connector - This option is incorrect because a crimp connector is used to attach a connector to the end of a cable, but it does not provide termination.

C) Null Connector - This option is incorrect because a null connector is used to connect two devices without actually transmitting any data. It is not used for terminating a cable.

D) Loop Connection - This option is incorrect because a loop connection refers to connecting the two ends of a cable together to form a loop, but it is not used for termination.

E) No Termination Needed - This option is correct because termination is not required for a 10BaseT cable. The twisted pair cable technology used in 10BaseT already provides sufficient signal integrity.

The correct answer is E) No Termination Needed. This option is correct because termination is not needed for a 10BaseT cable.

Category 4 (Cat 4) cables can support data transmission at up to 16 Mbps. They were also used for Ethernet networks but are less common today.

Category 5 (Cat 5) cables can support data transmission at up to 100 Mbps. They became widely used for Ethernet networks and are still commonly used today.

Based on this information, we can see that the correct answer is E) Category 5. This cable can support a speed of 100 Mbps.

Where do the MAC sublayers fit into the OSI model?

  1. Transport

  2. Network

  3. Data Link

  4. Presentation

  5. Physical


Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model. The OSI model is a conceptual framework that standardizes the functions of a communication system into seven different layers.

The MAC (Media Access Control) sublayer is a part of the Data Link layer, which is the third layer of the OSI model. The Data Link layer is responsible for the reliable transfer of data over a physical link. It provides error detection and correction, as well as flow control between two directly connected nodes.

The Data Link layer is divided into two sublayers: the Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer and the MAC sublayer. The LLC sublayer handles the flow control and error checking for the data link, while the MAC sublayer is responsible for controlling access to the physical medium.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C. Data Link

Correct Option: B

An IP address consists of 4 bytes.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand what an IP address is and how it is represented.

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It serves two main purposes: identifying the host or network interface, and providing the location of the host in the network.

IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4), which is the most widely used version of IP, uses a 32-bit address format. This means that an IPv4 address consists of 4 bytes or 32 bits.

Option A) True - This option is correct because an IP address does consist of 4 bytes.

Option B) False - This option is incorrect because an IP address does consist of 4 bytes.

The correct answer is A) True.

Which file on a workstation resolves names similar to a DNS server?

  1. HOSTS

  2. DHCP

  3. DNSHOSTS

  4. NAMEHOSTS

  5. SMHOSTS


Correct Option: A

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the purpose of each file listed.

Option A) HOSTS - This option is correct. The HOSTS file is a local file on a workstation that resolves names similar to a DNS server. It contains a list of IP addresses and corresponding hostnames. When a user on the workstation tries to access a website or network resource, the computer first checks the HOSTS file to see if there is a match for the hostname. If there is a match, the IP address from the HOSTS file is used to connect to the resource directly, bypassing the DNS server.

Option B) DHCP - This option is incorrect. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol used to assign IP addresses and other network configuration settings to devices on a network. While DHCP can provide IP addresses to workstations, it does not resolve names similar to a DNS server.

Option C) DNSHOSTS - This option is incorrect. There is no standard file named DNSHOSTS that resolves names similar to a DNS server. The HOSTS file is the correct file for this purpose.

Option D) NAMEHOSTS - This option is incorrect. There is no standard file named NAMEHOSTS that resolves names similar to a DNS server. The HOSTS file is the correct file for this purpose.

Option E) SMHOSTS - This option is incorrect. There is no standard file named SMHOSTS that resolves names similar to a DNS server. The HOSTS file is the correct file for this purpose.

The correct answer is A) HOSTS. This option is correct because the HOSTS file on a workstation resolves names similar to a DNS server by mapping hostnames to IP addresses.
