Computer networks involve the architecture, protocols, and security measures used for digital communication. This collection covers OSI model layers, IP addressing, data transmission, and cryptographic standards. These concepts are vital for the computer knowledge sections of banking and government exams.

Computer Networks Questions

Multiple choice cisco-ccna
  1. Show ipx servers

  2. Show servers

  3. Show config

  4. None of the above

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

The 'show ipx servers' command displays the IPX servers discovered through the Service Advertising Protocol (SAP). This verifies proper IPX router communication. 'Show servers' and 'Show config' are not valid IPX verification commands.

Multiple choice computer
  1. Parallel

  2. Serial

  3. DirectCPU Bus

  4. SCSI

  5. IDE

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

SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) provides the fastest data transfer among the listed options because it supports high-speed data rates, multiple devices on a single channel, and independent data paths. Parallel and Serial interfaces are significantly slower, while IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) is an older standard with lower performance. Direct CPU Bus is not a standard interface type for peripheral data transfer.

Multiple choice mcse
  1. Install a DHCP server on each server computer.

  2. Configure a scope of 169.254.0.1 - 169.254.255.254.

  3. Install a DNS server on a server in the network.

  4. Configure a scope of 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254.

  5. Install a DHCP server on a server in the network

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

To provide IP addresses automatically, a DHCP server must be installed. To ensure the addresses are private and internal, a scope from a private range (like 192.168.0.0/24) should be used. 169.254.x.x is the APIPA range, which is used when a DHCP server is absent.

Multiple choice mcse
  1. Netdom

  2. Network monitor

  3. Wireless monitor

  4. Event viewer

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

While 'Network Monitor' is a general tool, 'Wireless Monitor' or specialized wireless sniffers are used to capture traffic in WEP-encrypted environments. However, 'Wireless Monitor' is not a standard Windows tool name; usually, this requires third-party software or specific drivers.

Multiple choice mcse
  1. The static IP address configured for Computer_A is duplicat

  2. The DHCP server is down

  3. The DHCP server is out of IP addresses

  4. The DNS server is down

  5. The DHCP server does not have a DNS server option configured

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Multiple choice mcse
  1. Add an _smtp service locator (SRV) DNS record for Srv2.

  2. Add a mail exchange (MX) DNS record for Srv2.

  3. Add an alias (CNAME) record for mail.toysworld.com.

  4. Enable the SMTP service on Srv1.

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

An MX (Mail Exchange) record is required in DNS to tell other mail servers where to deliver email for a specific domain. Without an MX record pointing to Srv2, external mail servers will not know which host handles the email for toysworld.com.

Multiple choice mcse
  1. Netsh

  2. Active Directory Users and Computers

  3. DHCP Console

  4. Active Directory Sites and Services

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

In Windows Server 2003, DHCP server authorization is managed through Active Directory Sites and Services, not the DHCP console itself. This tool allows delegating authorization permissions to security groups, enabling other administrators to authorize DHCP servers throughout the network.

Multiple choice mcse
  1. The Properties dialog box of the remote access server

  2. The conditions of a remote access policy

  3. The profile of a remote access policy

  4. The Properties dialog box of the remote access ports

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

In Windows Server 2003 RRAS, IP packet filters for remote access clients are configured within the Profile of a Remote Access Policy. This allows administrators to restrict traffic based on the specific policy that the user matches during connection.

Multiple choice mcse
  1. Configure the T1 Demand-dial with a metric of 1, and the modem Demand-dial with a metric of 1

  2. Configure the T1 Demand-dial with a metric of 1, and the modem Demand-dial with a metric of 2

  3. Configure the T1 Demand-dial with a metric of 2, and the modem Demand-dial with a metric of 1

  4. Configure the T1 Demand-dial with a metric of 2, and the modem Demand-dial with a metric of 2

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

In routing, the 'metric' determines the preference of a route. A lower metric is preferred. By setting the T1 metric to 1 and the modem metric to 2, the system will always use the T1 while it is available and only fail over to the modem when the T1 route is lost.

Multiple choice mcse
  1. Disable dynamic updates on DNSExt

  2. Increase the Time to Live (TTL) for the SOA record

  3. Decrease the Time to Live (TTL) for the SOA record

  4. Configure the notify list on DNSExt to include the secondary DNS servers

  5. Decrease the value of the Refresh interval in the SOA record

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

Configuring the 'Notify' list on the primary DNS server (DNSExt) ensures that secondary servers are immediately informed of changes. This prevents secondary servers from frequently polling the primary with SOA queries to check for updates, thereby reducing unnecessary bandwidth usage.

Multiple choice mcse
  1. ESP

  2. IPSec

  3. TCP

  4. AH

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

When IPSec is used for authentication only (not encryption), it uses the Authentication Header (AH) protocol, which provides data integrity and authentication but not confidentiality. ESP (Encapsulating Security Payload) is used when encryption is needed. Network Monitor would display AH in the protocol field for authentication-only IPSec.

Multiple choice networking
  1. 8

  2. 21

  3. 80

  4. 25

  5. 110

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

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) uses TCP port 25 by default for server-to-server communication. Port 80 is for HTTP, 21 is for FTP, 110 is for POP3, and 443 is for HTTPS.

Multiple choice networking
  1. IPCFG

  2. WINIPCFG

  3. IPREL

  4. DCHP

  5. NETCFG

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

WINIPCFG is the graphical utility in Windows 95/98 for viewing and renewing DHCP IP address configuration. It provides a GUI interface to release and renew IP addresses from a DHCP server. The command-line equivalent ipconfig was introduced in later Windows versions. IPCFG is not a valid Windows command.

Multiple choice networking
  1. FTP

  2. Telnet

  3. SNMP

  4. NETSTAT

  5. WINIPCFG

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

Telnet can be used to test connectivity to a specific port on a remote host (e.g., telnet 80). If the screen goes blank or connects, the port is open. If it fails, the port is closed or blocked. FTP and SNMP are specific application protocols, not general port-testing utilities.
