- 1what is computer network?Computer network is 2 or more computers connected together to share information.
- 2what is LAN?LAN is a local area network. It is relatively small. It is owned by organisation.
- 3What is WAN?It covers a large geographical area. Use cables, telephone lines, satellites and radio waves to connect.
- 4What are the advantages of a computer network?Advantages of computer networking. There are several distinct advantages to networking, including: Resource sharing – using network-connected peripheral devices like printers, scanners and copiers, or sharing software between multiple users, saves money.
- 5What are the disadvantages of a computer network?Advantages. Site (software) licences are likely to be cheaper than buying several standalone licences. Network users can communicate by email and instant messenger. Security is good - users cannot see other users' files unlike on stand-alone machines.
- 6What devices are needed to produce a LAN?Router, switch, wires
- 7What is the purpose of a NIC?The NIC contains the electronic circuitry required to communicate using a wired connection (e.g., Ethernet) or a wireless connection (e.g., WiFi). A network interface card is also known as a network interface controller, network adaptor, or Local Area Network (LAN) adaptor.
- 8What is the purpose of a Router?The main purpose of a router is to connect multiple networks and forward packets destined either for its own networks or other networks.
- 9What is the purpose of a Hub?A hub, also called a network hub, is a common connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are devices commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. The hub contains multiple ports. When a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
- 10What is the purpose of a Switch?The basic function that any switch is supposed to perform is to receive information from any source connected to it and dispatch that information to the appropriate destination only. This thing differentiates switches from hubs.
- 11What is the purpose of a WAP?Search Results
A wireless access point (WAP) is a hardware device or configured node on a local area network (LAN) that allows wireless capable devices and wired networks to connect through a wireless standard, including Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. - 12What is the difference between a Hub and a Switch?Ethernet hubs, switches, and routers are all devices that let you connect one or more computers to other computers, networked devices, or even other networks.
- 13What is the Internet?a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols
- 14What is the World Wide Web?an information system on the Internet which allows documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by moving from one document to another.
- 15What is the purpose of a Modem?A modem converts digital signals generated by the computer into analogue signals which can be transmitted over a telephone or cable line and transforms incoming analogue signals into their digital equivalents.
- 16What is the purpose of an ISP?An Internet service provider (ISP) is an organisation that provides services accessing and using the Internet. Internet service providers may be organised in various forms, such as commercial, community-owned, non-profit, or otherwise privately owned.
- 17What is an IP address?a unique string of numbers separated by full stops that identifies each computer using the Internet Protocol to communicate over a network.
- 18What does HTTP stand for?HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, and instead of acting as its own application layer protocol, it uses separate protocols called SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security).
- 19What is a URL?the address of a World Wide Web page.
- 20How is a URL constructed?A URL can be thought of as the "address" of a web page and is sometimes referred to informally as a "web address." ... A URL is made up of several parts. The first part is the protocol, which tells the web browser what sort of server it will be talking to in order to fetch the URL.
- 21What are the three different network topologies?Bus Topology. ...
Ring Topology. ...
Tree Topology - 22What are the advantages / disadvantages of a Star topology?Star Topology: Advantages and Disadvantages. In Star topology, all the components of network are connected to the central device called “hub” which may be a hub, a router or a switch. ... So it can be said that every computer is indirectly connected to every other node by the help of “hub”.
- 23What are the advantages / disadvantages of a Ring topology?Disadvantages of ring topology. All data being transferred over the network must pass through each workstation on the network, which can make it slower than a star topology. ... The hardware needed to connect each workstation to the network is more expensive than Ethernet cards and hubs/switches.
- 24What are the advantages / disadvantages of a Bus topology?Alternatively referred to as a line topology, a bus topology is a network setup in which each computer and network device are connected to a single cable or backbone. The following sections contain both the advantages and disadvantages of using a bus topology with your devices
- 25List examples of data that need to be kept securemaking regular backups of files (backup copies should be stored in fireproof safes or in another building)
- 26What is HTTPS and what is it used for?HTTP is the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web and this protocol defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands.
- 27What is encryption?the process of converting information or data into a code, especially to prevent unauthorized access.
- 28What is decryption?
