 A network is a collection of two or more computers (or other
electronic devices) which are connected together.
2. What is computer network?
 A computer network is a set of computers that are connected together
for purpose of sharing resources.
3. List types of network?
 Local area network (LAN)
 Personal area network (PAN)
 Metropolitan area network(MAN)
 Wide area network(WAN)
4. Define LAN?
 A local area network or LAN is a network that connects computers
within a small geographical area.
5. Compare peer to peer and client-server?
 Computer in peer to peer network share their resources with other
computers in network but they do not have a file server.
 In client server network, one or more systems acts a server.
6. What is difference between MAN and WAN
 Metropolitan area network (MAN) covers relatively large areas
including cities or town by connecting to different local area network.
 Wide area network (WAN) is a network that connects computers
within a large geographical area.
7. Discuss advantages and disadvantages of (PAN)
Advantages of (PAN)
 The PAN network are relatively safe and secure
 It only provides short-range solutions up to 10 meters
 Strictly restricted to a small area.
Disadvantgaes of PAN

 It could establish a poor connection to other networks at the same


radio bands.
 It covers very limited distance.
8. Define network device?
 Network devices are the components of hardware which connect
computers and other devices in a network.
9. What does stand for NIC
 Stand for network interface card.
10.Define hub?
 A hub is a device which connects multiple computers or other
network device together.
11.What is bridge?
 A bridge is a communication device that connects one network
segment to another that use the same protocol.
12. What is difference between router and wireless access point?
 A router is capable of translating information from one network to
another.
 Wireless access point(WAP) is central device that enables computers
and other devices to transmit data wirelessly between themselves or to
wired network using wireless technologies, such as WI-FI.
13.List the three caps of coaxial cable?
 An insulating layer
 A woven or braided metal.
 A plastic outer covering.
14. Define network protocol?

 Internetwork package exchange
 Hypertext transfer protocol.
18. Define network topology?
 A network topology is the structure whereby computer systems or
network devices are interconnected.
19. Differentiate between mesh topology and tree topology?
 Tree topologies have source device, and all other devices which form
a hierarchy are connected to it.
 Mesh topology has a special network architecture, in which each
network machine links to each other.
20.Discuss advantages and disadvantages of star topology?
Advantages of star topology
 Simple installation and easy to wire.
 No interferences to the network when connecting or removing
devices.
 Easy to discover errors and to remove parts.

Disadvantages of star topology

 Require longer cables than linear topology.


 If the hub fails, the connected nodes will be deactivated
 More costly than linear bus topologies because of the cost of the hub.

Unit two PowerPoint presentation


21.Define PowerPoint presentation?
 PowerPoint is a presentation program that allows you to create
dynamic slide presentation.
22.Define ribbon?
