security
Correct!
fault tolerance
integrity
Refer to curriculum topic: 1.3.2

Fault tolerance is the characteristic of a network which allows it to
quickly respond to failures of network devices, media, or services.
Quality of service refers to the measures taken to ensure that network
traffic requiring higher throughput receives the required network
resources. Scalability refers to the ability of the network to grow to
accommodate new requirements. Security refers to protecting
networks and data from theft, alteration, or destruction. Integrity refers
to the completeness of something and is generally not used as a
characteristic of networks in the same way as the other terms.
What is a WAN?
a network infrastructure designed to provide data storage, retrieval, and

replication
Correct!
a network infrastructure that provides access to other networks over a large
geographic area
a network infrastructure that spans a limited physical area such as a city
a network infrastructure that provides access in a small geographic area

A WAN provides access to other networks over a large geographic
area. A SAN provides data storage, retrieval, and replication. A
MAN spans a limited physical area such as a city. A LAN provides
access in a small geographic area.
Refer to the exhibit. Match the example networks to the type of network. (Not
all options are used.)
Correct! Network A
MAN
Correct! Network B
LAN
Correct! Network C
WLAN
Correct! Network D
WAN
Other Incorrect Match Options:

SAN

Network A is a MAN. It consists of a number of different types of
facilities that are connected within the same geographic area. Network
B is a LAN. It is located in a limited geographic area in a single
building. Network C is a WLAN. It is a LAN in which the devices are
connected wirelessly. Finally option D shows a WAN. It is two
geographically separate LANs that are connected to the same
enterprise.
What is an ISP?
It is a standards body that develops cabling and wiring standards for

networking.
It is a protocol that establishes how computers within a local network

communicate.
Correct!
It is an organization that enables individuals and businesses to connect to the
Internet.
It is a networking device that combines the functionality of several different

networking devices in one.

An ISP, or Internet Service Provider, is an organization that provides
access to the Internet for businesses and individuals.
Refer to the exhibit. Which term correctly identifies the device type that is
included in the area B?
source
end
transfer
Correct!
intermediary

Routers and switches are intermediary devices. End devices consist
of PCs, laptops, and servers. They also include printers, VoIP phones,
security cameras, and hand-held devices.
What are two characteristics of a scalable network? (Choose two.)
easily overloaded with increased traffic
Correct!
grows in size without impacting existing users
is not as reliable as a small network
Correct!
suitable for modular devices that allow for expansion
offers limited number of applications

Scalable networks are networks that can grow without requiring costly
replacement of existing network devices. One way to make a network
scalable is to buy networking devices that are modular.
Which three devices are considered end devices in a network? (Choose

three.)
router
switch
Correct!
VoIP phone
Correct!
security camera
access point
Correct!
TelePresence endpoint

Routers, switches, and access points are intermediary devices.
Fill in the blank.
An Intranet is a private connection of LANs and WANs that
belongs to an organization, and is designed to be accessible only by the

members and employees of the organization, or others with authorization.
Answer 1:
Correct! Intranet
orrect Answer intranet
orrect Answer Intra net
orrect Answer intra net
orrect Answer Intra-net
orrect Answer intra-net
orrect Answer INTRANET

Intranets connect LANs and WANs that should only be accessible by
internal employees, whereas an extranet allows organizations to do
business directly with other external organizations by allowing them
access to part of the internal network.
Fill in the blank.
Refer to the exhibit. This represents an example of an Inside
security threat to an organization.
Answer 1:
Correct! inside
orrect Answer internal

Typical internal security threats include weak or exposed passwords,
lost or stolen devices, and malicious employees.
During a routine inspection, a technician discovered that software that was

installed on a computer was secretly collecting data about websites that were
visited by users of the computer. Which type of threat is affecting this
computer?
DoS attack
identity theft
Correct! spyware
zero-day attack

Spyware is software that is installed on a network device and that
collects information.
In which scenario would the use of a WISP be recommended?
an Internet cafe in a city
Correct! a farm in a rural area without wired broadband access
any home with multiple wireless devices
an apartment in a building with cable access to the Internet

Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) are typically found in
rural areas where DSL or cable access is not available. A dish or
antenna on the property of the subscriber connects wirelessly to a
WISP transmitter, eliminating the need for physical cabling outside the
building.
How does BYOD change the way in which businesses implement networks?
BYOD requires organizations to purchase laptops rather than desktops.
BYOD users are responsible for their own network security, thus reducing the
need for organizational security policies.
BYOD devices are more expensive than devices that are purchased by an
organization.
Correct!
BYOD provides flexibility in where and how users can access network
resources.

A BYOD environment requires an organization to accommodate a
variety of devices and access methods. Personal devices, which are
not under company control, may be involved, so security is critical.
Onsite hardware costs will be reduced, allowing a business to focus
on delivering collaboration tools and other software to BYOD users.
Match the Internet connectivity type to the appropriate description or

characteristic. (Not all options are used.)
Correct! Metro Ethernet high-speed business class
Correct! satellite
requires a dish and clear li
Correct! SDSL
business class service that
Correct! cable
signal carried on the same
Correct! cellular
access via the cell phone n
Other Incorrect Match Options:

typically has very low bandwidth

DSL uses a high-speed modem to split the existing telephone line into
voice, download, and upload signal channels. SDSL is a format of
DSL that provides business class service featuring the same speeds
for uploading and downloading. Cable uses the same coaxial or fiber
optic cable that carries television signals into the home to provide
Internet access. Satellite requires a clear line of sight and is affected
by trees and other obstructions. Cellular access to the internet is
provided by the cell phone network. Cellular provides access in areas
that otherwise have no other form of access. Metro Ethernet is a
dedicated business class of service that connects organizations to the
internet via copper or fiber cable at speeds up to 10Gb/s.
Which statement describes a characteristic of a converged network?
Correct!
A single network that delivers voice, video, and data to a variety of devices.
Network services are delivered over a wide range of network platforms.
The network establishes separate communication channels for each network

service.
The network uses different technologies for voice, video, and data.

A converged network unifies different network services, such as
streaming video, voice, and data, on a single platform and within a
single infrastructure.
An employee wants to access the network of the organization remotely, in

the safest possible way. What network feature would allow an employee to
gain secure remote access to a company network?
ACL
IPS
Correct! VPN
BYOD

Virtual private networks (VPN) are used to provide secure access to
remote workers.
