Networking - Quiz(MCQ)
A)
2
B)
3
C)
4
D)
5

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   5


Explanation : Cisco routers, if they do not have the Enterprise edition of the IOS, will default to 5 simultaneous Telnet sessions.

A)
show protocols
B)
show interfaces
C)
show startup-config
D)
show running-config

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   show interfaces


Explanation : The command show ip protocols will actually show you the broadcast address for each interface - too bad it isn't a possible answer. Your best answer is show interfaces, which will provide the IP address and mask for each interface.

A)
port to port delivery
B)
process to process delivery
C)
bit-by-bit delivery
D)
application to application delivery

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   bit-by-bit delivery


Explanation : Physical layer deals with bit to bit delivery in networking. The data unit in the physical layer is bits. Process to process delivery or the port to port delivery is dealt in the transport layer. The various transmission mediums aid the physical layer in performing its functions.

A)
coaxial cable
B)
optical fiber
C)
electrical cable
D)
twisted pair cable

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   optical fiber


Explanation : Fiber optics is considered to have the highest transmission speed among the all mentioned above. The fiber optics transmission runs at 1000Mb/s. It is called as 1000Base-Lx whereas IEEE standard for it is 802.3z. It is popularly used for modern day network connections due to its high transmission rate.

A)
packets
B)
bytes
C)
bits
D)
frames

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   packets


Explanation : In computer networks, the data from the application layer is sent to the transport layer and is converted to segments. These segments are then transferred to the network layer and these are called packets. These packets are then sent to data link layer where they are encapsulated into frames. These frames are then transferred to physical layer where the frames are converted to bits.

A)
Only host address
B)
Only network address
C)
Network address & MAC address
D)
Network address & Host address

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   Network address & Host address


Explanation : An ip address which is 32 bits long, that means it is of 4 bytes and is composed of a network and host portion and it depends on address class. The size of the host address and network address depends upon the class of the address in classful IP addressing.

A)
network layer
B)
transport layer
C)
physical layer
D)
application layer

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   network layer


Explanation : In computer networks, the data from application layer is sent to transport layer and is converted to segments. These segments are then transferred to the network layer and these are called packets. These packets are then sent to data link layer where they are encapsulated into frames. These frames are then transferred to physical layer where the frames are converted to bits. Error control and flow control data is inserted in the frames at the data link layer.

A)
error control sublayer
B)
logical link control sublayer
C)
media access control sublayer
D)
network interface control sublayer

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   media access control sublayer


Explanation : Media access control (MAC) deals with transmission of data packets to and from the network-interface card, and also to and from another remotely shared channel. The MAC sublayer also prevents collision using protocols like CSMA/CD.

A)
addresses
B)
frame identifier
C)
synchronization bytes
D)
all of the above

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   all of the above


Explanation : In a frame, the header is a part of the data that contains all the required information about the transmission of the file. It contains information like synchronization bytes, addresses, frame identifier etc. It also contains error control information for reducing the errors in the transmitted frames.

A)
media access control sublayer
B)
logical link control sublayer
C)
network interface control sublayer
D)
application access control sublayer

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   logical link control sublayer


Explanation : The logical link control is a sublayer of data link layer whose main function is to manage traffic, flow and error control. The automatic repeat request error management mechanism is provided by the LLC when an error is found in the received frame at the receiver’s end to inform the sender to re-send the frame.
