On modern networks, the transceiver are separate from the NICs.
-
True
-
False
AI Explanation
To answer this question, we need to understand the function of transceivers and NICs (Network Interface Cards).
A transceiver is a device that combines a transmitter and a receiver in a single module. It converts the electrical signals from a network device into optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cables or into electrical signals for transmission over copper cables. It also converts received optical or electrical signals back into electrical signals that can be understood by the network device.
A NIC, on the other hand, is a hardware component that connects a computer or other network device to a network. It provides the physical interface between the computer and the network, allowing the computer to send and receive data over the network.
In modern networks, it is common for the transceiver to be integrated into the NIC. This means that the transceiver and the NIC are combined into a single module, often referred to as a "transceiver module" or "transceiver card." This integration helps simplify the design and installation of network equipment.
Therefore, the statement "On modern networks, the transceivers are separate from the NICs" is incorrect. The correct answer is B) False.
You can mix 100BaseTX and 1000BaseT4 on a single network segment.
-
True
-
False
To determine whether it is possible to mix 100BaseTX and 1000BaseT4 on a single network segment, we need to understand the compatibility between these two technologies.
100BaseTX and 1000BaseT4 are Ethernet standards that specify the maximum data transfer rate and the type of cabling used.
100BaseTX operates at a maximum speed of 100 Mbps (Megabits per second) and uses twisted pair copper cables. It uses two pairs of wires for transmitting and receiving data.
1000BaseT4, on the other hand, operates at a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) and also uses twisted pair copper cables. However, it uses all four pairs of wires for transmitting and receiving data.
Based on this information, it is not possible to mix 100BaseTX and 1000BaseT4 on a single network segment. The two standards have different data transfer rates and use different wire configurations. Mixing them on the same segment would result in compatibility issues and unreliable network performance.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B. False
Which device act as a traffic cop?
-
Router
-
Hub
-
Switch
-
Modem
To solve this question, the user needs to have a basic understanding of computer networking and the functions of different networking devices.
Now, let's go through each option and explain why it is right or wrong:
A. Router: This option is correct. A router acts as a traffic cop in a network. It receives data packets from different devices and determines the best path for each packet to reach its destination. It makes decisions based on network protocols and routing tables.
B. Hub: This option is incorrect. A hub is a basic networking device that simply broadcasts incoming data packets to all connected devices. It does not make any intelligent decisions or act as a traffic cop.
C. Switch: This option is incorrect. A switch is a networking device that connects multiple devices within a local area network (LAN). It forwards data packets to the intended recipient based on the MAC address. While a switch can handle and manage network traffic, it does not perform the same level of intelligent routing as a router.
D. Modem: This option is incorrect. A modem is a device that connects a computer or network to the internet through a telecommunications line. It does not act as a traffic cop within a network.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
The Answer is: A. Router
Collision occurs when two devices on the same network segment attempt to simultaneously transmit.
-
True
-
False
AI Explanation
To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of collisions in computer networking.
Option A) True - This option is correct. Collision occurs when two devices on the same network segment attempt to simultaneously transmit. In Ethernet networks, collision detection is used to handle such situations. When a collision is detected, both devices stop transmitting and wait for a random amount of time before attempting to transmit again.
Option B) False - This option is incorrect. Collisions do occur when two devices on the same network segment attempt to transmit simultaneously.
The correct answer is A) True. This option is correct because collisions can occur in computer networks when multiple devices attempt to transmit data simultaneously on the same network segment.
Fiber Optic cable conducts electricity.
-
True

Peer-to-Peer network are not flexible.
-
True
-
False
To solve this question, the user needs to know the characteristics of a peer-to-peer network.
The statement "Peer-to-Peer network are not flexible" is not entirely true. Peer-to-peer networks are actually flexible in nature since they are decentralized and do not rely on a central server. Each node in a peer-to-peer network can act as both a client and a server, allowing for greater flexibility in terms of sharing resources and data. Moreover, peer-to-peer networks can also be easily expanded or reduced in size, making them more adaptable to changes in network traffic.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
The Answer is: B. False
