    ANSWERSHEET SENIOR SIX NETWORKING
    Section A

    1. a.Networking is an act of linking two or more computers so that they can share resources ,
    information or data.

    b.Network protocol represents a language used on the network for communication between computers
    or it is a set of rules which allow defining the communication mode between two entities, software or
    materials.

    c. Host is any material on the network that can have an IP address

    d. IP address it is an unique identifier of the host on the network

    e . Router is a connection material which plays the role of sending and receiving messages and assigns
    the IP address to the new host on the network.

    2.The followings are the full words of these abbreviations

    a. POP Post Office Protocol

    b. UDP User Datagram Protocol

    c.URL Uniform Resource Locator

    d. DHCP Dynamic Host Control Protocol

    e.BBN Back bone Network

    3.Private IP address is used in local area network

    Public IP address is used on the internet

    4. Generally the network classes are differentiated by their ranges

    5. c. Communication is a process by which information can be passed from one place to another.

    6. The networking hardware includes all computers , peripherals ,interface cards and other equipments
    needed to perform data –processing and communications within the network.
    7.communication channel is a means by which information are sent and transmitted from one place to
    another.

    8.a)Class A (1 - 126)
    b) Class B (128 - 191)
    c) Class C (192 - 223)
    d) Class D (224 - 239)
    e) Class E (240 - 255).

    9.LAN is a group of computers and other devices like printers and modems spread over a small
    geographical area and connected to each other.

    The followings are the characteristics of LAN


    a) A LAN exists within a small geographical area
    b)LAN cabling from end to end should not exceed 2-3 kilometers
    c)LANs normally have fewer nodes about 500

    10. The followings are advantages that the network provides to their users

    a)Spreading information means the internet stores the information for research , education and
    businesses
    b)File transfer
    c)Advertising and marketing
    d)E-Commerce
    e)Chat groups.

    11. a) Router is a device in computer networking that forwards data packets to their destinations,
    based on their addresses, a router joins different networks to allow transfer of data packets from source
    to the destination

    c) Switch is an equipment used in wired network to connect Ethernet cables from a number of
    devices together

    e) Repeater is a network device that accepts a network cable in one end ; amplifies the signals ; and
    sends the signals out the other end
    SECTION B
    1.LAN is a group of computers and other devices like printers and modems spread over a small
    geographical area and connected to each other.

    .MAN This covers a metropolitan area such as a town council ,municipality or a city. The network size
    may base a radius of up 50 km .

    .WAN is a computer network that spreads in a large geographical area. Computers can connect to these
    type of networks to use facilities in other city or country.

    2.Peer to peer network – all computers on a peer to peer network are considered equal means that
    there working as equal partners

    Advantages of peer to peer

    -Less initial expense - No need for a dedicated server

    - Set up -An operating system already in place may only need to be reconfigured for peer to peer
    operations.

    Client/server - computers on client/server network function either as clients , or a servers , clients


    computers are also known as nodes

    Advantages of client/server network are


    -Centralized
    -Scalability
    -Flexibility
    -Accessibility

    2. Put the wires in the following order from the left to the right for designing an Ethernet cable
    A. - White orange
    - Orange
    - White green
    - Blue
    - White blue
    - Green
    - White brown
    - Brown

    OR

    B. –White green
    -Green
    -White orange
    -Blue
    -White blue
    -Orange
    -White brown
    Brown.

    3. six network topologies


    a) Bus
    b)Ring
    c)Star
    d)Mesh
    e)Hybrid
    f)Tree

    4. The followings are the advantages of using star topology


    a) If one cable fails, the other stations are not affected
    b) Consistent performance even when the network is being heavily used
    c) It is reliably market proven system
    d) Easy to add a new workstation
    e) In case of any network problem, the network administrator can troubleshoot it from one
    location.

    SECTION C
    1.The followings are the functions of the seven layers of OSI Model

    a) Application layer plays the following functions:


    -Resource sharing and device redirection
    -Remote files access
    -Inter-process communication
    b)Presentation layer plays the following functions
    -Character codes translation
    -Data conversion
    -Data compression

    c) Session layer plays the following functions

    -Session establishment

    -Session support

    -Maintenance and termination

    d)Transport layer plays the following functions

    -Message segmentation

    -Message acknowledgement

    -Message traffic control

    e)Network layer plays the following functions

    -Routing

    -Subnet traffic control

    -Logical and physical address mapping

    f) The data-link layer plays the following functions

    -handles special data frame between the network and the physical layer

    -At the receiving end , this layer packages raw data from the physical layer into data frames for
    delivery to the network layer

    - At the sending end , this layer handles conversion of data into raw formats that can be handled by
    the physical layer.

    g) The physical layer plays the following functions


    -Converts bits into electronic signals for outgoing messages

    -Manage the interface between the computer and the network medium

    -Converts electronic signals into bits for incoming messages
