[Link] is a network? What are its goals and applications?

Answer:Two or more autonomous computing devices connected to


one another in order to exchange information or share resources is
called a computer network.
Its goals and applications:
Share resources
share storage
Can share software
Improve communication

[Link] and compare various types of networks?

Answer: Peer to peer network- Each computer on a peer-peer


network is equal. Each computer can play the role of a client and
server.
Client-server network- There is a computer reserved for the server’s
job and its only job is to help workstations access data, software and
hardware resources.
[Link] are hubs ? what are its types?

Answer:Hardware device used to connect several computers


together.
Types of hub-
a)Active hubs- also connect plus repeat the signal
b)Passive hubs- signal is passed from one computer to another.

[Link] is the role of a switch in a networks?

Answer: Device used to segment networks into different


subnetworks called subnets.

Q.5. Briefly discuss the role of following devices in the context


of networking?

(i)Router

Answer:Device that works like a bridge but can handle different


protocols.

(ii)Bridge

Answer:Device that links two networks together.

(iii)Gateway

Answer:Device that connects dissimilar networks.


Q6. When would you prefer

(i) bridges over hubs


(ii) switch over other network devices?

Answer :
i. We would prefer bridges over hubs when we need to connect
multiple networks.
ii. We would prefer switch over others network devices when
want to segment networks into different sub-networks to
prevent traffic overloading.

Q7. When would you opt for a router in a network?


Answer:When we want to connect different network of different
protocol.

[Link] are hubs? How are active hubs different from passive
hubs?
Answer:Hardware device used to connect several computers
together.
Types of hub-
a)Active hubs- also connect plus repeat the signal
b)Passive hubs- signal is passed from one computer to another.

[Link] are the facilities provided by the SERVER in a


Network environment?
Answer: A server facilitates networking tasks like sharing of data,
resource-sharing, communication among hosts etc.
[Link] which network there is no server?

Answer: Peer – to – Peer network

[Link] is a cloud? What is cloud computing?

Answer :Cloud: – The Cloud is a generic term used for internet.


Cloud computing: – Cloud computing is Internet-based computing,
whereby shared resources, software, and information are provided
to computers and other devices on demand, like the electricity grid.

[Link] are different cloud deployment models?

Answer: a)Private cloud


b)Public cloud
c)Community clouds
d)Hybrid clouds

[Link] is a public cloud different from a private cloud?


Answer: Public Clouds: –These are the clouds for use by multiple
organizations (tenants) on a shared basis and hosted and managed
by a third party.
Private Clouds: –   These are the clouds for exclusive use by a
single organization and typically controlled managed and hosted in
private data centers.

[Link] is internet of things?


Answer:loT is a phenomenon that connects the things (the smart
devices) to the Internet over wired or wireless connections.
[Link] are the technologies that have enabled IoT?

Answer:The technologies that have enabled IoT are as follows:-


1. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
2. Sensors
3. Network connectivity
4. Smart technologies

[Link] are the concerns related to IoT ?

Answer:Data security and privacy are major concerns related to


IoT. These devices are vulnerable to hacking and cloud endpoints
could be used by hackers to attack servers.
