📝 10 Writing Questions with Answers

1. Describe the main purpose of a computer network.

→ To enable communication, resource sharing, and data transfer among interconnected
devices.
2. What are the components of a computer network?
→ Hardware (routers, switches), software (protocols, OS), and transmission media (wired
or wireless).
3. Differentiate between a hub and a switch.
→ A hub broadcasts data to all devices, while a switch sends data only to the intended
recipient.
4. Explain the importance of the OSI model.
→ It standardizes communication functions of network systems and helps troubleshoot
issues by layer.
5. What role does a router play in networking?
→ A router connects different networks and directs data between them using IP
addresses.
6. What is the difference between LAN and WAN?
→ LAN covers a small area like a building, whereas WAN covers large geographic areas.
7. How does a firewall enhance network security?
→ It monitors and controls incoming and outgoing traffic to prevent unauthorized access.
8. Why is subnetting used in IP addressing?
→ To divide a network into smaller, manageable segments and improve performance and
security.
9. Explain the concept of network topology with an example.
→ It is the arrangement of devices in a network. For example, in a star topology, all
devices connect to a central hub.
10. What is the significance of DNS in a network?
→ It resolves human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses for data
routing.
