ISTM -209 TAMU Curtsinger Final
Exam Questions and All Actual
Answers.
expectations and procedures - Answer company policies define what?
social media policy - Answer could outline what social media usage is appropriate in the
office, what is appropriate to post related to the company, who needs to approve posts on
company social media accounts.
BYOD policy - Answer could define what personal business is appropriate to do during work
hours, what personal activity is appropriate to do on work devices, and what use of work
devices is appropriate during non-work hours.
information security policy - Answer define all of the efforts that they will make to ensure
that customer, employee, and supplier information is protected from being stolen, misused, or
lost
internet policy - Answer outlines guidelines for how the internet can be used during work
hours. It determines what company internet can be used for, how long it can be used, and
whether specific websites or categories of websites will be blocked on the company network.
email policy - Answer outlines guidelines on what information can be shared through email
and what work email addresses can be used for. Even without a specific policy, it is a good
practice to keep personal and work emails separate.
preventing hacking, protecting privacy, and administering information technology - Answer
IT departments in businesses are directly responsible for which of the following?
network - Answer a system of two or more computers connected to each other to share
data, resources, and communication.
network administrator - Answer responsible for all network related tasks in the business.
That includes security, compliance with policy, setting permissions and restrictions, and pushing
out updates.
system administrator - Answer are focused on the devices themselves (computers, servers,
printers, copiers etc.) which they install, setup, and maintain.
,makes computers much less vulnerable to hacking and malware - Answer All of the following
are advantages of businesses using networks except...
Personal Area Network (PAN) - Answer network set up for personal use. It can be wireless or
wired using a modem and it can use computers, printers, tablets, or other devices. Transmits
data through the connected devices like files, photos, videos, music etc.
Local Area Network (LAN) - Answer are a network of two or more computers which covers a
small area, typically in all housed in the same building.
Campus Area Network (CAN) - Answer promotes and helps multiple LANs in smaller areas.
The goal is to be able to connect smaller LAN networks within it
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) - Answer larger than PANs, LANS, and CANS. MANs
typically use fiber optic cable or DSL for faster speed. For example, the Bryan-College Station
area
Wide Area Network (WAN) - Answer the largest network for allowing communication
between all devices. Can include all devices that connect to the internet and have transformed
how businesses operate.
nodes - Answer devices used within a network and the network's topology determines how
nodes are arranged. Nodes can be switches and routers within the network.
Bus Topology - Answer Each node is connected to the same single cable. While cheap and
easy to install, a network with bus topology can be risky because if the one cable fails, the
whole network goes down.
star topology - Answer Each node is connected to a central device or hub. This is the most
popular kind of network because it is reliable and fast. It does use a lot of wiring and relies
entirely on the central device.
ring topology - Answer Each node is connected to two other nodes forming a circular path
for passing data. This kind of topology does not require a server but if any of the nodes shut
down, the entire network will shut down. This is the least common topology.
mesh topology - Answer Each node is connected to every other node. This topology is used
commonly with wireless networks. This can be very expensive to implement and maintain but it
neatly divides activity within the rest of the network if any of the nodes are shut down.
, tree topology - Answer "Child" nodes are connected to "parent" nodes which connect to a
central cable. Child nodes branch out from the central parent node which then connects to the
central cable.
Hybrid Topology - Answer a combination of any of the other topologies.
client/server architecture - Answer has one computer, the "server" that fulfills backend
processing like responding to information requests
clients - Answer Desktop computers (PC or Mac)
Laptops
Smartphones
Tablets
servers - Answer Web
File
Mail
Cloud
peer to peer networks - Answer Instead of having one central server, like in client-server
architecture, these have computers that are all equal to each other and all do frontend and
backend processing.
NOS types - Answer Microsoft Windows Server
Unix
Linux
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) - Answer used when sending files
through the internet. Following this protocol, the internet breaks down the file into packets
when it is being sent and reassembles the packets when they are received. guarantees file
reliability: all the packets will be received and the file will be able to be opened
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) - Answer used for streaming like Netflix, Hulu, Disney +, ESPN
+, Paramount +, Roku etc. It is also used for online gaming. UDP does not guarantee file
reliability.
