switch. Identify the topology and explain one benefit of using it.

2. An office network connects computers in a circular path, and data passes in


one direction. What topology is this? Mention one drawback of it.

3. In a company's network, every computer is connected to every other computer.


Name this topology and state one advantage.

cable. Identify the topology and describe one limitation.

D. Short Answer Questions

Answer Key – Class 8 Networking Concepts Worksheet

A. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) with Justification

1. Answer: c) Keyboard
Justification: A keyboard is an input device, not a component of a network.

2. Answer: c) Star
Justification: Star topology uses a central device (hub or switch) to connect all
computers.

3. Answer: b) WAN
Justification: WAN connects computers over large geographical areas like cities or
countries.

4. Answer: b) Devices share roles and resources equally


Justification: In peer-to-peer networks, each device can act as both a client and a
server.

5. Answer: b) Resource sharing


Justification: Computer networks allow multiple users to share printers, files, and
internet access.

B. Fill in the Blanks

1. Switch

2. Topology

3. LAN (Local Area Network)

4. Client-Server

5. Network security

6. Peer-to-peer

C. Application-Based Questions (Topologies)

1. Answer: This is a Star topology. It is easy to manage, and if one computer fails,
others remain unaffected.

2. Answer: The topology is Ring topology. A drawback is that if one computer or


connection fails, the entire network can be disrupted.

3. Answer: This is a Mesh topology. One advantage is that it provides high fault
tolerance since each computer is connected to every other computer.
4. Answer: The topology is Bus topology. One limitation is that if the main cable fails,
the entire network goes down.

D. Short Answer Questions

1. Answer:

Switch – connects multiple devices within a LAN. It transmits the message to


the required port reducing network traffic.

Hub – connects all the computers to central computer and broadcasts the
message to all the clients.

NIC (Network Interface Card) – enables a device to connect to a network.

2. Answer:
Network security protects data and resources from threats such as hacking or
viruses. It is important to keep information safe and ensure smooth operations. Two
ways to secure a network are using firewalls and strong passwords.

3. Answer:

Client-server architecture uses a central server to provide resources (e.g.,


school file server).

Peer-to-peer architecture allows all devices to share files directly (e.g., two
home PCs sharing folders without a server).
