Assessment Task
Activity No. 1
MULTIPLE CHOICE: Encircle the letter of the best answer.
1. The physical and/or electrical configuration of cabling and connections comprising a network-the
shape of the system.
a. Topology b. Data Communication c. Networking
2. All the devices on the network are connected to a common cable. Normally, this cable is
terminated at either end, and can never be allowed to form a closed app.
a. Ring b. Bus c. Mesh
3. All the devices on the network are connected to a common cable which loops from machine to
machine.
a. Tree b. Bus c. Ring
4. Device has its own cable run connecting the device to a common hub or concentrator.
Only one device is permitted to use each port of the hub.
a. Mesh b. Star c. Tree
5. Device is connected to its own port on concentrator in the same manner as in a star, however,
concentrator is connected together in a hierarchical manner – i.e., a hub will connect to a port on another
hub.
a. Mesh b. Tree c. Star
6. Network where every device on the network is physically connected to every other device on the
network. This provides a great deal of performance and reliability; however, the complexity and difficulty
of creating one increases geometrically as the number of nodes on the network increases.
a. Mesh b. Tree c. Star
7. Is a group of computers linked electronically to a form a common work environment? This
facility the sharing of application and data, and is especially important when a group of people need to
work together on one project.
a. WAN b. LAN c. MAN
8. A geographically dispersed telecommunication network:
a. WAN b. LAN c. MAN
9. The term is applied to the interconnection of networks in a city into a single larger network
(which may then also offer efficient connection to a wide area network).
a. WAN b. LAN c. MAN
10. It is most powerful computer in the network. It is usually a very fast computer with a very large
RAM and storage space along with a very fast interface card.
a. Client b. File Server c. Server
11. All other computers connected to the network which use the resources in the file server.
a. Client b. Server c. Workstation
12. A device that provides a central connection point for cables from the nodes (workstation, servers,
peripherals) in the network.
a. Router b. Hubs c. Bridges
13. A device that is used to catch signals on the cable and retransmit at the strength equal to original
strength.
a. Repeater b. Interface Card c. Bridges
14. A device that allows to segment a large network into two or to conduct two small networks into
one. It manages traffic of information to maintain optimum performance on both side of the network.
a. Repeater b. Hubs c. Bridges
15. It translates information form one network to another. It selects the best path to route a message
based on its source and destination address.
a. Hubs b. Routers c. Bridges
16. Security Management - monitoring the state of access on the network protect against illegitimate
access on the resources.
a. Configuration Mngt b. Security Mngt c. Fault Mngt
17. Collection and management of information on current network resources as well as on the
changes in network configuration.
a. Configuration Mngt b. Security Mngt c. Fault Mngt
18. Monitoring the state of access to the network to protect against illegitimate access to the
resources.
a. Configuration Mngt b. Security Mngt c. Fault Mngt
19. Monitoring response time and traffic field to manage and maintain the performance of the
network.
a. Performance Mngt b. Security Mngt c. Fault Mngt
20. A vendor-developed network management system developed by Novell, Inc. in the USA is
mainly used for personal computer LAN.
a. Network Software b. Network Mngt Syst c. Network OS
