Chapter 01 Introduction to Networking
1. Hennessy is studying for the Network+ certification exam. The question asked is, "What is the
definition of a network?" How does Hennessy answer?
a. A network is a group of devices.
b. A network is a group of computers and other devices (such as printers) that are
connected by some type of transmission media.
c. A network is comprised of the wiring that flows throughout an office space or
building.
d. A network is computer hardware working together.
ANSWER: b
RATIONALE: Loosely defined, a network is a group of computers and other
devices (such as printers) that are connected by some type of
transmission media. In order for a group of computers to be
considered a network, the device's hardware and software must
work with a transmission media to allow data to be sent and
received between each device. A network can be as small as a
computer hooked up to the Internet or as big as the Internet itself.

2. David is new at his networking job, and his supervisor quizzes him on the differences between
physical and logical network topology. What is the correct answer?
a. Physical computer topology refers to how data is transmitted between devices in a
network. Logical topology deals with the actual layout of devices and cables.
b. Peer-to-peer network topology refers to how data is transmitted between devices in a
network. Star topology deals with the actual layout of devices and cables.
c. Logical network topology refers to how data is transmitted between devices in a
network. Physical topology deals with the actual layout of devices and cables.
d. Bus network topology refers to how data is transmitted between devices in a network.
Ring topology deals with the actual layout of devices and cables.
ANSWER: c
RATIONALE: Logical computer network topology refers to the way data is
transmitted between devices in a network. This is determined by
the network's protocols and addressing schemes. Unlike physical
topology, which deals with the actual layout of devices and cables,
logical topology focuses on the flow of data and the
communication between devices.

3. Connie is configuring the network for a new restaurant that her company is about to open. She
has five desktop computers, four LaserJet printers, and three laptops. She plans on using a peer-
to-peer environment. What makes peer-to-peer suitable for Connie's restaurant? Choose all that
apply.
a. Peer-to-peer is scalable, which means, as the network grows, it is easy to add and
change elements.
b. The computers on a peer-to-peer network can share folders and files without the need
for an expensive server.
c. A peer-to-peer network is simple to configure and requires little technical expertise.
d. A peer-to-peer network is practical for connecting more than a few computers, since it
is not time-consuming to manage network resources.
ANSWER: b, c
RATIONALE: Peer-to-peer networks are a cost-effective alternative to other
network types. While a network operating system like Windows
Server can be expensive, a peer-to-peer network allows computers
to share folders and files without requiring a costly server. The
setup and configuration of a peer-to-peer network is relatively easy
and does not require extensive technical skills.

5. Emmi is her company's IT manager. Since her company is growing, she wants to switch from
a peer-to-peer (P2P) networking architecture to a client-server architecture. The company has
grown to 30 users, so why is it better for her to use a client-server architecture over peer-to-peer?
Choose all that apply.
a. Client-server users can sign on to the network from any computer and get access to
the resources that Active Directory allows. This process is managed by AD DS
(Active Directory Domain Services). Sharing files on a peer-to-peer network means
creating 30 user accounts to share documents and then set up each workstation with
the same user accounts.
b. In a client-server network, an administrator can ensure only authorized users can
access the network.
c. In a client-server network, an administrator can control what files a user can open,
read, or edit.
d. In a client-server network, servers only need as much memory as the clients since
their workload is the same.
ANSWER: a, b, c
RATIONALE: In a client-server network, users can log in from any computer
that's connected to the network and gain access to the resources
that Active Directory permits. The process is managed by AD DS
(Active Directory Domain Services). With the help of an
administrator, only authorized users can access the network.
Moreover, the administrator can control which files a user can
open, read, or edit.

12. Katherine goes to her banking website to transfer money between her checking and savings
accounts. Before she makes a transaction, she looks at the top left of her browser's navigation bar
and sees that the website is using HTTP and not HTTPS. What should Kathrine do?
a. Continue with her transaction; it doesn't matter if the website is secure as she has virus
protection.
b. Try another browser to see if the website is secure through the other browser.
c. Leave the website since HTTPS is not secure.
d. Call her bank to complain about the website.
ANSWER: c
RATIONALE: It is important for a website to have a secure connection using
HTTP layered on top of an encryption protocol such as SSL
(Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security). This
creates HTTPS (HTTP Secure), which ensures that all data sent
between the website and user is encrypted and cannot be accessed
by unauthorized parties. If a website is not encrypted with HTTPS,
it is highly recommended to leave the site immediately as the data
shared between the website and user can be easily accessed by
others. Therefore, if HTTPS is not used to encrypt the bank's
website, Katherine should leave the site immediately to prevent
others from accessing her sensitive data.

12. Katherine goes to her banking website to transfer money between her checking and savings
accounts. Before she makes a transaction, she looks at the top left of her browser's navigation bar
and sees that the website is using HTTP and not HTTPS. What should Kathrine do?
a. Continue with her transaction; it doesn't matter if the website is secure as she has virus
protection.
b. Try another browser to see if the website is secure through the other browser.
c. Leave the website since HTTPS is not secure.
d. Call her bank to complain about the website.
ANSWER: c
RATIONALE: It is important for a website to have a secure connection using
HTTP layered on top of an encryption protocol such as SSL
(Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security). This
creates HTTPS (HTTP Secure), which ensures that all data sent
between the website and user is encrypted and cannot be accessed
by unauthorized parties. If a website is not encrypted with HTTPS,
it is highly recommended to leave the site immediately as the data
shared between the website and user can be easily accessed by
others. Therefore, if HTTPS is not used to encrypt the bank's
website, Katherine should leave the site immediately to prevent
others from accessing her sensitive data.
