WGU C172 Network and Security -
Foundations; PA and OA set* EXAM
GRADED A LATEST 2023/2024



It is a network of users that share computer resources in a limited area. - CORRECT
ANSWER LAN


Local Area Network - CORRECT ANSWER LAN


How are Local Area Networks defined? - CORRECT ANSWER In terms of protocol
and the topology used for accessing the network.


A set of rules established for users to exchange information - CORRECT ANSWER
Protocol


The network architecture used to interconnect the networking equipment. -
CORRECT ANSWER Topology


What are the most common topologies for LANs? - CORRECT ANSWER Ring,
Bus, and Star


Uses a token that is placed in the data channel and circulates around the ring. -
CORRECT ANSWER Token Ring topology

,A deterministic network - CORRECT ANSWER Token Ring Topology


Each station connected to the network ensures access for transmission of its
messages at regular or fixed time intervals - CORRECT ANSWER Deterministic


What are the disadvantages of the Token Ring system? - CORRECT ANSWER 1. If
an error changes the token pattern, it can cause the token to stop circulating.


What is a disadvantage of the Token Ring system from the troubleshooting and
maintenance? - CORRECT ANSWER The token ring path must be temporarily
broken or interrupted if a computer or any device on the network is to be
removed or added to the network.


What is a solution to the troubleshooting and maintenance disadvantages of the
Token Ring system? - CORRECT ANSWER Connect each computer or device on
the network to a central token ring hub.


A device that manages the passing of the token instead of relying on individual
computers to pass it. - CORRECT ANSWER Token ring hub


How does the token ring hub improve the network? - CORRECT ANSWER It
improves the reliability of the network.


Topology whereas the computers share the media or coaxial cable for data
transmission. - CORRECT ANSWER Bus topology


The coaxial cable that is looped through each networking device to transmit data
in a bus topology - CORRECT ANSWER ThinNet

, In this topology, all devices on the network can see each other's data traffic. -
CORRECT ANSWER Bus topology


Topology whereas each computer must wait for pauses in transmission or until
the transmission from one device is complete before initiating a new transmission
onto the network. - CORRECT ANSWER Bus topology


What are the disadvantages of a bus topology? - CORRECT ANSWER "1. Data can
be corrupted if ore than one device on the network transmits at the same time
and will have to be resubmitted.
2. The use of the shared coaxial cable prevents data transmission from being very
bandwidth-efficient."


Which topology is seldomly used in modern networks? - CORRECT ANSWER Bus
topology


What is the most common topology used in today's LANs? - CORRECT ANSWER
Star topology


Topology that uses twisted-pair cables with modular plugs to connect computers
and other networking devices. - CORRECT ANSWER Star topology


Topology whereas each device is connected to a switch or hub - CORRECT
ANSWER Star


A switch or hub facilitates the transfer of data between networking devices in this
topology - CORRECT ANSWER star
