1. What is a network? Give any two uses of having a network in your

school computer lab.
Answer – Computer networking is the term for a network of
connected computers that may communicate and share resources. These
networked devices transmit data through wireless or physical technologies using
a set of guidelines known as communications protocols.
The two uses of having a network in school computer lab are –
a. Instead of using floppy discs or Zip drives, network file sharing across PCs
gives you greater flexibility. You can exchange documents, music, and images
over a network to save copies of your important material on different computers.
b. Students can access the internet simultaneously over a computer network by
sharing internet access.

2. Mention any two disadvantages of a network.

Answer –
a. It can be expensive to buy the file servers and network cabling.
b. Managing a large network is complicated
3. What are the requirements for setting up a network?
Answer – The requirements for setting up a network are –
a. At least two computer – Server or Client workstation
b. Communication medium like Twisted Pair Wire, Fiber Optical Cable or any
wireless signal etc.
c. Operating System which support Network
4. How is a dedicated server different from a non dedicated server?
Answer –
a. Dedicated Servers – These are generally used on big network installations
where one computer is reserved for the server’s job. It helps all nodes access
data, software and hardware resources.
b. Non dedicated servers – In small networks, a workstation can double up as
a server. These servers are known as non dedicated servers. The small
networks using such a server are known as Peer to Peer networks.
5. Define a channel. Name the three categories
of communication channels.
Answer – A communication channel is a medium that is used in the
transmission of a message from one point to another. In simple terms we can say
that it is a pathway over which data is transferred between remote devices.
Examples of three categories of communication channels are optical fiber,
coaxial cable or twisted pair wire
6. What do you mean by bandwidth and DTR?
Answer –
a. Bandwidth – The frequency range that is available for data transmission in
electronic communication is referred to as the bandwidth. It is measured as the
difference between the highest and lowest frequencies in Hertz (Hz).

b. DTR – The amount of digital data transferred through a network in a

predetermined amount of time is known as the data transfer rate (DTR). As
previously studied, the data transfer rate increases with the bandwidth of a
particular medium.

7. Two companies in different states wanted to transfer information. Which

type of network will be used to implement the same?

10. What do you mean by a transmission medium? Differentiate between

guided and unguided transmission media.
Answer – A transmission medium refers to the channel of transmission through
which data transmitted from one node to another in the form of signal.
a. Guided medium – Physical conductors like twisted pairs, coaxial cable, and
fiber optics are referred to by this phrase. The signal travels as voltage and
current in coaxial and twisted pair cable, but it travels as light in optical fiber.

b. Unguided medium – Electromagnetic waves, which are used by the unguided

medium, don’t need a physical conductor to work. Microwave, radio wave, and
infrared are a few examples of unguided media.

connection. This method of making phone calls is much cheaper. IRC protocol is
used for chatting. It provides chatting between a group or between two
individuals.

34. Explain the three types of web architecture

Answer – Web Architecture can be defined as the conceptual structure of the
internet. The WWW or internet is a constantly changing medium that
enables communication between different users and the technical interaction
between different systems and subsystems.
a. Client-server model – Web consisted of a two-tiered architecture: clients
and servers. Clients and
servers shared the tasks and services that the system was supposed to perform.
Example – Web server
b. Three-tier model – Three-tier models include an application logic between the
client and the server, which
handles the data processing and allows a certain degree of interaction. Example
– Data servers storing and retrieving data logically.
c. Service-oriented architectures (SOA) – With SOAs, business processes can
be automated by the involved systems communicating with one another – partly
without human intervention – and performing certain tasks. Example – e-
commerce, online banking, e-learning etc.

35. Differentiate between IP address and MAC address.

Answer – The IP address of a device is important for determining a network’s
connection (using which the device is connecting to the network). On the other
hand, the MAC Address guarantees the computer device’s exact location. It
enables us to uniquely identify a certain device on the accessible network.
36. Differentiate between Worm and Virus
Answer – The main distinction between a worm and a virus is that worms are
standalone hostile programmes that may self-replicate and spread after they
have infiltrated the system, whereas viruses must be activated by their host.
