An organization is evaluating its internal network. Currently, each device is connected to two adjacent devices, one on either side. Which type of network topology is being used?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
A Ring topology is a network setup where each device is connected to two adjacent devices, forming a circular path for data transmission. This topology ensures that data travels in a single or bidirectional loop. Point-to-point topology refers to a direct connection between two devices without forming a larger network structure. Bus topology has all devices connected to a single central cable, rather than forming a ring. Star topology features a central hub or switch that connects all devices, rather than direct device-todevice links.
Question 2
A library has a network that allows patrons to use their mobile devices to connect to the internet. Which type of network is described?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) enables wireless connectivity within a defined geographic area, such as a library, office, or coffee shop. WLANs use Wi-Fi technology to allow users to access the internet without physical cables. Storage Area Networks (SANs) are used for data storage and do not provide internet connectivity to users. Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) cover larger areas, such as cities, and are not used within a single building. Personal Area Networks (PANs) connect personal devices like smartphones and laptops over short distances, such as via Bluetooth, but do not support public internet access.
Question 3
An individual has been tasked with setting up an office network. During the process, there is a need for a device that extends the range of a network. Which device should be used?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
An access point (AP) is a network device that extends the coverage of a wireless network by acting as a bridge between wired and wireless devices. It allows users to connect to a network without needing a direct wired connection. APs are particularly useful in large office spaces where Wi-Fi signals may not reach all areas. Routers primarily manage network traffic but do not directly extend network range unless they include built-in AP functionality. Servers are used for hosting applications and storing data but do not extend network connectivity. Switches connect wired devices within a local network but do not extend wireless network range.
