E. Answer the following questions.
Defne networking with examples. give two advantages.
A computer network can be defined as a group of computers and other peripheral devices
that are linked together for the purpose of sharing data and hardware resources. For
example, if one of the computers in a network has a printer attached to it, then all the
computers in that network can access the printer and use it to print the documents.
Advantages of computer network are as follows:
● The cost of hardware is considerably less in a computer network as all the
computers share the hardware resources.
● Networking provides a facility to transfer the soft copies from one computer to
the other at a high speed.

Distinguish between LAN and WAN


In LAN, two or more computers and peripheral devices are connected within a small area, such
as room, office building, or a campus. The WAN network connects two or more computers
located at distant places. They are linked by communication facilities, like telecommunication
or satellite signals.
3.Give two advantages of star topology.
Star topology is very popular because the setup cost is low. It is easy to add a new device to the
network as only one cable is required and the configuration is simple. Moreover, the network is
robust; even if a connection in the network fails, the other connections remain intact.
4.. explain client server
Client-Server network is a type of network, where several computers called clients or
workstations are connected to the main computer called the server. A Server is a computer that
provides services to clients and controls access to hardware, software, and other resources.
Clients are the computers, which request services, like data retrieval, storage, etc., from the
server.

5 ans.Hub is a device that connects all the network devices to the server computer. When a
computer sends a request in a network, the hub broad cast the message to complete network.
Whereas a switch works similar to a hub. However, unlike a hub, the switch does not broadcast
the message on the entire network. It transmits the message from the source computer to the
destination computer only by using the physical address.
Wireless Network Cards are used instead of the normal network cards that are used in
the wired networks and Access Points or Routers have a wireless antenna, which
increases the communication range of the radio signals.
