Solutions
S1. Ans.(a)
S2. Ans.(e)
Sol. A router is used to route data packets between different networks. It reads the information in each packet to tell where it is going. If it is destined for an immediate network it has access to, it will strip the outer packet (IP packet for example), readdress the packet to the proper Ethernet address, and transmit it on that network.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Bridges operate at the Data-Link Layer of the OSI Model. They can distinguish between local and remote data, so data traveling from one workstation to another in the same segment doesn’t have to cross the bridge. Bridges operate on MAC-Layer addresses.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Wireless networks are computer networks that are not connected by cables of any kind. The use of a wireless network enables enterprises to avoid the costly process of introducing cables into buildings or as a connection between different equipment locations.
S5. Ans.(b)
S6. Ans. (a)
Sol. A repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal and retransmits it at a higher level or higher power, or onto the other side of an obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer distances.
S7.Ans.(d)
Sol. Gateway connects more than one network that uses different protocols.
S8 Ans.(b)
S9. Ans. (d)
Sol. All of the given options are router functions.
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. A microphone is a device that translates sound vibrations in the air into electronic signals.
