Computer Networks Questions
-
Call Barring
-
Call Setting
-
Call Divert
-
Call Forwarding
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Call Barring is the service that allows you to restrict or block certain types of calls (incoming, outgoing, international, etc.). Call Divert/Forwarding redirects calls to another number, while Call Setting is a general menu for various call-related options.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the standard protocol for sending email messages between mail servers. FTP is for file transfers, SSH is for secure remote access, and POP3 is for retrieving email (not sending).

192.168.1.100
-
209.131.36.100
C
Correct answer
Explanation
192.168.1.100 is in the private IP address range 192.168.0.0/16, which is reserved for local networks according to RFC 1918. The other options are all public IP addresses: 74.125.127.100 belongs to Google, 69.72.169.241 is a public address, and 209.131.36.100 belongs to Yahoo. Private IP ranges (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) are not routable on the internet and used only for internal networks.

Virtual Private Network
D
Correct answer
Explanation
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, a technology that creates a secure, encrypted connection over a public network. It's used to protect privacy and secure data transmission. From any technical or business perspective including TCS, VPN expands to Virtual Private Network - the industry standard term. The other options are not real technical terms.

Internet Relay Channel
-
Internet Relay Chat
-
Internet Respond Channel
-
Internet Response Cache
B
Correct answer
Explanation
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat, which is a protocol for real-time internet text messaging. It's not a channel, response system, or cache. IRC was one of the first forms of real-time internet chat.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The question asks which is NOT a network protocol. HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol), RIP (Routing Information Protocol), and PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) are all legitimate network protocols. PSI is not a standard network protocol - it may refer to various things in different contexts but is not recognized as a networking protocol like the others.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
WMA (Windows Media Audio) files can be transmitted through GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) networks as data packets. GPRS supports various file types including audio formats.

M: \199.168.40.10\deutsche
C
Correct answer
Explanation
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is the protocol that maintains a table of IP networks which designate network reachability among autonomous systems (AS). It's the core routing protocol of the Internet. LDAP is for directory services, UDP is a transport protocol, and SMTP is for email transmission.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the standard protocol for email transmission across IP networks. It's how email servers send and receive messages. HTTP is for web pages, FTP is for file transfer, and DHCP is for automatic IP address assignment.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol) is used in IPv6 networks for discovering other nodes and routers on the same local link. It replaces ARP functions from IPv4. HTTPS is for secure web communication, SCTP is a transport protocol, and ICMP is for error reporting.
D
Correct answer
Explanation
IPSec operates at the Internet layer (Layer 3) providing security for IP communications. UDP is a Transport layer protocol, ISDN operates at Data Link and Physical layers, and TELNET is an Application layer protocol.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
HTTP operates at the Application Layer (Layer 7) for web communication. SCTP and DCCP are Transport layer protocols, while OSPF is an Internet layer routing protocol.
-
Internet Group Management Protocol
-
Internet Gateway Management Protocol
-
Intranet Gateway Management Protocol
-
Internal Group Management Protocol
A
Correct answer
Explanation
IGMP stands for Internet Group Management Protocol, used by IPv4 hosts and routers to manage multicast group memberships. It's not for gateway or intranet management - it specifically handles which hosts belong to which multicast groups.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
TELNET provides bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication through a virtual terminal connection, allowing users to log into remote systems. SNMP is for network device management, POP3 is for retrieving email, and TELNET is the correct answer for terminal emulation.
