Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements correctly describes the function of a switch in a Local Area Network (LAN)?

  • A switch sends data only to the intended device. (correct)
  • A switch broadcasts data to all devices in the network.
  • A switch connects multiple networks and directs data packets.
  • A switch needs to be connected to the internet to function.
  • What is the primary difference between bandwidth and throughput in a network?

  • Bandwidth measures latency, while throughput measures the data speed.
  • Throughput is a result of latency; the lower the latency, the higher the throughput.
  • Bandwidth is the maximum data transfer rate, while throughput is the actual rate achieved. (correct)
  • Throughput always equals bandwidth in any network scenario.
  • Which data transmission mode allows for communication in both directions but not simultaneously?

  • Multicast
  • Simplex
  • Half-duplex (correct)
  • Full-duplex

    Study Notes

    Cybercrime and Digital Footprints

    • Cybercrime involves illegal activities online, examples include phishing and identity theft.
    • Phishing is a fraudulent attempt that deceives users into giving up sensitive information.
    • A digital footprint is a record of online activity.
    • Avoid responding to emails asking for personal info, and report suspicious emails.

    Python Programming Concepts

    • There are 8 possible combinations for 3 binary inputs.
    • 10 % 2 equals 0 in Python.
    • 4 possible combinations for 2 binary inputs.
    • Logical OR is represented by || and AND by && in Python.
    • An AND operation is True only if both inputs are True.
    • An OR operation is False only if both inputs are False.
    • Truth tables show all possible input combinations and outputs of logical operations
    • Compilers translate entire code at once, interpreters translate line by line.
    • Python variable names start with a letter or underscore, and can contain letters, numbers, and underscores.
    • Simple Python programs involve taking inputs and using operators (+, -).
    • A translator converts high-level code to machine code for execution.

    Networking Concepts

    • Data transmission modes include simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex.
    • Network types include LAN, PAN, MAN, and WAN.
    • bps stands for bits per second.
    • A switch connects multiple computers in a LAN.
    • A router connects multiple networks.
    • Latency is the time to send the first byte of data.
    • Bandwidth is calculated as (bits transmitted / time in seconds).
    • MAC addresses are stored on a device's NIC.
    • A protocol is a set of rules for data communication.
    • NIC stands for Network Interface Card.
    • A switch sends data only to intended devices in a LAN
    • There are 8 bits in a byte and 1024 bytes in a kilobyte.
    • A hub broadcasts data to all devices - a switch sends only to the intended device.
    • Bandwidth may be different from throughput; a router directs data packets between networks.
