AA. Fill in the
blanks with the help of the given words.
1.
In Ring
topology, all the data pass from one node to the next node in a circle before
reaching their destination.
2.
A Router
is used to forward (route) data packets to other network when the destination
address is outside its network.
3.
A hub
is the most basic networking device that connects multiple computers or other
network devices together.
4.
Bluetooth uses a radio frequency that allows transmission
through short rage connections between desktop, laptop computers and PDAs.
5.

specific to the users within the organization is called the Intranet.
BB. Tick the
correct answer.
1.
Coaxial cables are used by telephone companies, from their
central offices to the telephone poles near the users.
2.
PAN generally covers a range of less than 10 meters (about
30 feet).
3.
Gateway is used to connect two networks of different types. It
acts as an entrance to another network.
4.
ATM is an
example of : WAN
5.
Which
topology consists of a long communication channel?
Ans- Bus topology
CC. State True
or False
1.
In Ring
topology, fewer number of cables are required. TRUE
2.
A switch in
a network transfers data to a specific computer TRUE
3.
RJ-45 is
derived from the word modulator-demodulator. FALSE
4.
CDMA stands
for Code Division Multiple Access. TRUE
5.
A Local
Area Network (LAN) is a network spread over an entire city. FALSE
Q1.
Write the full form of the following abbreviations:-
1. PAN- Personal Area Network
2. LAN- Local Area Network
3. WAN- Wide Area Network
4. GSM- Global system for mobile
communication
5. CDMA- Code division multiple
access
6. NIC- Network Interface Card
Q2.
Define a computer network.
Ans2.
A computer network
is a group of two or more than two computers that are linked together to share
the information and resources.
Q3. List the
components that are required for wired and wireless communication.
Ans3. Following components are required for wired and
wireless communication:-
·
Network interface card (NIC)
·
Network cable or wireless adapter
- Router
- Switch
- Modem or access
point
Q4. On the basis of
geographical spread, classify the types of computer networks.
ANS4. Following are the
types of computer networks on the basis of geographical spread:-
1. Personal
Area Network (PAN)
2. Local
Area Network (LAN)
3. Metropolitan
Area Network (MAN)
4. Wide Area
Network (WAN)
Q5. Define the term ‘topology’.
According to you, which topology is most reliable and why?
Ans5. Topology is the arrangement
of nodes connected to one another in a network. Mesh topology is the most
reliable topology.
Q6. Compare bus, star and
ring topology. Write any two points to compare them.
ANS6.
|
BUS |
RING |
STAR |
Structure |
There is a single central cable (backbone) and all computers and
other devices connected to it. |
All computers and other devices are connected in a circle. |
There is a central host and all nodes are connected to it. |
Ease of
trouble shooting |
Difficult. Need to search for the problematic node one by one. It
is easy to install and to add and remove nodes. |
It is easier to find faults in the network. More nodes can be added easily. |
It is reliable. if one connection fails, it does not affect
other computers in a network. It is easier to add and remove nodes |
