1. What is a network? Give any two uses of having a network in your

school computer lab.
Answer – Computer networking is the term for a network of
connected computers that may communicate and share resources. These
networked devices transmit data through wireless or physical technologies using
a set of guidelines known as communications protocols.
The two uses of having a network in school computer lab are –
a. Instead of using floppy discs or Zip drives, network file sharing across PCs
gives you greater flexibility. You can exchange documents, music, and images
over a network to save copies of your important material on different computers.
b. Students can access the internet simultaneously over a computer network by
sharing internet access.

2. Mention any two disadvantages of a network.

Answer –
a. It can be expensive to buy the file servers and network cabling.
b. Managing a large network is complicated
3. What are the requirements for setting up a network?
Answer – The requirements for setting up a network are –
a. At least two computer – Server or Client workstation
b. Communication medium like Twisted Pair Wire, Fiber Optical Cable or any
wireless signal etc.
c. Operating System which support Network

4. How is a dedicated server different from a non dedicated server?

Answer –
a. Dedicated Servers – These are generally used on big network installations
where one computer is reserved for the server’s job. It helps all nodes access
data, software and hardware resources.
b. Non dedicated servers – In small networks, a workstation can double up as
a server. These servers are known as non dedicated servers. The small networks
using such a server are known as Peer to Peer networks.

5. Define a channel. Name the three categories

of communication channels.
Answer – A communication channel is a medium that is used in the
transmission of a message from one point to another. In simple terms we can say
that it is a pathway over which data is transferred between remote devices.
Examples of three categories of communication channels are optical fiber,
coaxial cable or twisted pair wire.
6. What do you mean by bandwidth and DTR?
Answer –
a. Bandwidth – The frequency range that is available for data transmission in
electronic communication is referred to as the bandwidth. It is measured as the
difference between the highest and lowest frequencies in Hertz (Hz).

b. DTR – The amount of digital data transferred through a network in a

predetermined amount of time is known as the data transfer rate (DTR). As
previously studied, the data transfer rate increases with the bandwidth of a
particular medium.

transfer information. Which type of network will be used to implement the
same?
Answer – Local Area Network

10. What do you mean by a transmission medium? Differentiate between

guided and unguided transmission media.
Answer – A transmission medium refers to the channel of transmission through
which data transmitted from one node to another in the form of signal.
a. Guided medium – Physical conductors like twisted pairs, coaxial cable, and
fiber optics are referred to by this phrase. The signal travels as voltage and
current in coaxial and twisted pair cable, but it travels as light in optical fiber.

b. Unguided medium – Electromagnetic waves, which are used by the unguided

medium, don’t need a physical conductor to work. Microwave, radio wave, and
infrared are a few examples of unguided media.

using a packet switched network rather than using a public switched telephone
network.

30. Explain Remote Access Protocol.

Answer – Telnet is the main internet protocol for creating a connection with a
remote machine. It allows you to connect to remote computers (called remote
hosts) over a TCP/IP network (such as the Internet).

31. Why do we need VoIP protocol?

Answer – VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) helps to make voice calls using a
broadband Internet Connection. This method of making phone calls is much
cheaper than the conventional way because the service of Telecommunication
Company is not used.

32. Differentiate between FTP and HTTP.

Answer – HTTP is designed for transferring a hypertext among two or more
systems. HTML tags are used for creating links. These links may be in any form
like text or images. FTP allows users to transfer files from one machine to
another. Types of files may include program files, multimedia files, text files, and
documents, etc.
33. Differentiate between VoIP and IRC.

connection. This method of making phone calls is much cheaper. IRC protocol is
used for chatting. It provides chatting between a group or between two
individuals.

34. Explain the three types of web architecture

Answer – Web Architecture can be defined as the conceptual structure of the
internet. The WWW or internet is a constantly changing medium that
enables communication between different users and the technical interaction
between different systems and subsystems.
a. Client-server model – Web consisted of a two-tiered architecture: clients
and servers. Clients and
servers shared the tasks and services that the system was supposed to perform.
Example – Web server
b. Three-tier model – Three-tier models include an application logic between the
client and the server, which
handles the data processing and allows a certain degree of interaction. Example
– Data servers storing and retrieving data logically.
c. Service-oriented architectures (SOA) – With SOAs, business processes can
be automated by the involved systems communicating with one another – partly
without human intervention – and performing certain tasks. Example – e-
commerce, online banking, e-learning etc.

35. Differentiate between IP address and MAC address.

Answer – The IP address of a device is important for determining a network’s
connection (using which the device is connecting to the network). On the other
hand, the MAC Address guarantees the computer device’s exact location. It
enables us to uniquely identify a certain device on the accessible network.
36. Differentiate between Worm and Virus
Answer – The main distinction between a worm and a virus is that worms are
standalone hostile programmes that may self-replicate and spread after they
have infiltrated the system, whereas viruses must be activated by their host.

37. Explain the significance of the IT Act.

Answer – IT Act 2000 named Information Technology Amendment Act,2008 was
introduced. The act also defines offenses and penalties for cyber-crime. Cyber
police are responsible for detecting such crimes and taking the necessary
measures against it according to the IT Act.
a. Tampering with computer source documents – Section 65
b. Hacking -Section 66
c. Publishing of information which is obscene in electronic form -Section 67

38. Explain the following terms: Patent Copyright Trademark

Answer –
a. Patent – The word “patent” refers to a particular product created by an
individual. For a set amount of time, the designer is granted sole ownership of
the patent. The owner can prevent others from creating, using, or selling the
product design with the use of the patent right.

b. Trademark – Any word, phrase, symbol, design, or combination of these that

distinguishes your products or services might be considered a trademark.

violation of copyrights may result in legal action. The following type of work is
eligible for copyright protection. written works any accompanying words for
musical works

create security, and defend a business from online dangers. The tools used by
Crackers are not their own. They utilize other people’s tools to commit crimes,
damage systems, and compromise privacy.
