- 4What are the advantages of a computer network?You get to find out information
- 5What are the disadvantages of a computer network?Need a qualified person to look after it
- 6What devices are needed to produce a LAN?network adaptor, network medium, cable connecters, power supplys, hub/switch/router and network software.
- 7What is the purpose of a NIC?–The NICs convert the data signals from the nodes into data.
- 8What is the purpose of a Router?–Routers work by sending data between networks.
- 9What is the purpose of a Hub?A device that connects nodes together.
- 10What is the purpose of a Switch?A device that connects
nodes together. - 11What is the purpose of a WAP?A wireless access point 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.

- 22What are the advantages / disadvantages of a Star topology?Image result for What are the advantages / disadvantages of a Star topology?www.omnisecu.com
Disadvantages of a Star Topology. Requires more cable length than a linear topology. If the hub, switch, or concentrator fails, nodes attached are disabled. More expensive than linear bus topologies because of the cost of the hubs, etc. - 23What are the advantages / disadvantages of a Ring topology?Image result for What are the advantages / disadvantages of a Ring topology?www.ianswer4u.com
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 entire network will be impacted if one workstation shuts down. - 24What are the advantages / disadvantages of a Bus topology?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.
