### **Writing Questions (10 Questions)**

1. Explain the difference between a hub and a switch.

**Answer**: A hub broadcasts data to all connected devices, causing congestion, while a
switch directs data only to the intended recipient using MAC addresses.

2. Describe three advantages of computer networks.

**Answer**: Resource sharing, improved communication, centralized security, scalability, and


remote data access.

3. What is the purpose of the OSI model?

**Answer**: To standardize network communication by breaking it into seven layers,


ensuring interoperability between devices and protocols.

4. How does a router differ from a modem?

**Answer**: Routers connect networks and direct traffic using IP addresses (Layer 3), while
modems convert digital signals to analog for internet access.

5. Explain NAT and its importance.

**Answer**: Network Address Translation allows multiple devices to share a single public IP
address, conserving IPv4 addresses and enhancing security.
