3 13 Thicknet cables are which type? (Choose all that apply.) A RG-6 B RG-8 C RG-11 D RG-58 E RG Security on a WLAN is accomplished by the MAC addresses of wireless NICs that are allowed to use the access point and by encrypting data sent over the wireless LAN. filtering 15 Which wireless protocol is a short-range wireless technology limited to transmission distances of about 100 meters or less? A a B Bluetooth C Wi-Fi D WiMAX 16 In which network topology is each node connected to a central network transmission device such as a hub or a switch? 17 In which network topology is each node connected to the next by a direct line so that a continuous line is formed? 18 In which network topology is each node connected to a central device by two wires?

the wireless LAN. filtering 15 Which wireless protocol is a short-range wireless technology limited to transmission distances of about 100 meters or less? A 802.

4 19 In which network topology do all nodes have independent connections to all other nodes? 20 True or false? The network topology shown in the graphic is an example of the mesh topology. False. It s an example of a hybrid network topology. 21 True or false? In a star topology, when a single connection fails, it doesn t affect the communication ability of other computers. True. In the star topology, when a single connection fails, it doesn t affect the communication ability of other computers connected to the same network transmission device. 22 The benefit of a topology is that it s simple and inexpensive to set up. bus 23 True or false? The star topology uses a central networking device called a multistation access unit (MSAU). False. Token Ring networks use a multistation access unit (MSAU). 24 The topology is extremely fault tolerant, but expensive to implement. mesh 25 An example of a connection is the dial-up connection from a computer to an ISP. point-to-point

or false? In a star topology, when a single connection fails, it doesn t affect the communication ability of other computers. True.

5 26 In which type of network is data is broken up into packets before it s sent over the network? A Point-to-point B Point-to-multipoint C Packet-switching D Circuit-switching 27 Which Ethernet standard is the fastest? A Twisted Pair Ethernet B Fast Ethernet C Gigabyte Ethernet D 10GbE 28 Which Ethernet standard designates fiber optic cabling as its required medium? (Choose all that apply.) A BASE-CX B BASE-R C BASE-T D BASE-W E BASE-X 29 Ethernet combines the bandwidth of two network interface cards as a cost-effective way to increase bandwidth available for data transfers for critical servers, such as firewalls and production servers. bonding 30 True or false? A star Ethernet might be faster than a bus Ethernet, especially if there are many nodes on the network. False. A star Ethernet might be slower than a bus Ethernet, because the hub generates a lot of data traffic that isn t used. It replicates all the data it receives from any source and sends it to every node. 31 Which network topologies can you use with Ethernet networks? (Choose all that apply.) 32 is an acronym for the channel access method that avoids collisions rather than detecting them. CSMA/CD
