Computer Networks Questions

Multiple choice technology
  1. Router A

  2. Router B

  3. Router C

  4. Router D

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

In OSPF DIS election, the router with the highest priority becomes the DIS. Priority values range from 0-255, with higher values preferred. A priority of 0 makes a router ineligible. Router D with priority 100 wins over C(70), A(64), and B(0-ineligible).

Multiple choice technology
  1. Load http://msnconfig/ and search for the device name. Click the device name in the results

  2. Load http://mconf/ and search for the device name. Click the device name in the results

  3. Load http://msncon/ and search for the device name. Click the device name in the results

  4. Load http://msnconf/ and search for the device name. Click the device name in the results

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

To view network device configuration in MSNConf, load http://msnconf/, search for the device name, and click the device name in the results. Option A incorrectly uses 'msnconfig', option B uses 'mconf', and option C uses 'msncon' - all are incorrect URLs. The correct URL matches the tool name MSNConf.

Multiple choice technology
  1. Monitored object

  2. Mirrored object

  3. Server object

  4. Network object

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In monitoring systems like iAdmin, only monitored objects can be suppressed - that is, temporarily hidden from alerts or monitoring. Option A correctly identifies this. Options B (Mirrored object), C (Server object), and D (Network object) are not the standard terminology for objects that can be suppressed in this context.

Multiple choice technology databases
  1. AMP

  2. PDE

  3. PE

  4. BYNET

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

BYNET (Banynet) is Teradata's hardware interconnect that enables communication between nodes in the system. AMP (Access Module Processor), PDE (Parallel Database Extensions), and PE (Parsing Engine) are primarily software/logical components that execute on hardware but are not hardware themselves.

Multiple choice technology
  1. VLAN over a ATM network

  2. VLAN with Firewall

  3. Repeater

  4. Secured local area network

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

ELAN (Emulated LAN) is an ATM technology that makes an ATM network look and behave like a traditional Ethernet LAN to connected devices. It allows LAN protocols to run over ATM networks, providing LAN emulation services. The other options describe unrelated networking concepts.

Multiple choice technology
  1. Network access lists

  2. Data packet forwarding technology

  3. Firewall

  4. Internet gateway

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) directs data from one node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network addresses. This technology speeds up traffic flow and makes network management more efficient compared to traditional routing. It's widely used in carrier networks.

Multiple choice technology
  1. External

  2. Internal

  3. Private

  4. All

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Hyper-V supports three types of virtual networks: External (connected to physical network), Internal (host-to-VM communication), and Private (VM-to-VM only). All three types (D) are fully supported.

Multiple choice technology
  1. Between VMs

  2. Between VM and Host

  3. Between VM and Physical Network

  4. Not used anywhere

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

In Hyper-V networking, private networks are isolated networks that only allow communication between virtual machines on the same host. They cannot access the host OS or external physical networks. This makes them ideal for isolating VMs for testing or security purposes.

Multiple choice technology embedded technologies
  1. It is named after a 10th century Viking King.

  2. It can be used to transfer files between computers.

  3. It uses light as transmission medium.

  4. It is very often used in ad-hoc networking.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Bluetooth uses short-wavelength UHF radio waves in the ISM band (2.4 to 2.485 GHz) as its transmission medium, not light. Distractors are true: it is named after King Harald Bluetooth, supports wireless file transfer between devices, and is frequently used for spontaneous, ad-hoc network connections.

Multiple choice technology embedded technologies
  1. True

  2. False

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Bluetooth is not a line-of-sight technology - it uses radio frequency waves that can penetrate walls and obstacles. LOS technologies like infrared require an unobstructed path, but Bluetooth can work through non-metallic barriers, though range and quality may be reduced.

Multiple choice technology embedded technologies
  1. Dial-Up Networking

  2. Serial Port

  3. LAN access

  4. Financial Messaging

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Dial-Up Networking, Serial Port Profile, and LAN access are all valid, standardized Bluetooth profiles. Financial Messaging is not a recognized Bluetooth profile - it appears to be a fabricated option as Bluetooth profiles are standardized for specific applications like file transfer, audio, networking, and device synchronization.

Multiple choice technology embedded technologies
  1. 128 kbps

  2. 56 kbps

  3. 2 Mbps

  4. 721 kbps

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Bluetooth 1.1 has a theoretical maximum data rate of 1 Mbps, but the practical transfer rate is 721 kbps. This is the standard rate achieved in real-world conditions due to protocol overhead and implementation constraints. Options A and B are too low, while C is the theoretical maximum not the practical rate.
