Practice Questions Candidate: tommy thompson (tsquared66) Date: 5/8/2022 10:53:10 am Time spent: 03:06 Score: 100% Passing Score: 80% v Question 1: Correct You've implemented a network where hosts are assigned specific roles, such as file sharing and printing roles. Other hosts access those resources, but they don't host services of their own. Which type of network do you have? Extranet Intranet Client-server Peer-to-peer EXPLANATION In a client-server network, hosts have specific roles. For example, some hosts are assigned server roles, which allow them to provide network resources to other hosts. Other hosts are assigned client roles, which allow them to consume network resources. In a peer-to-peer network, each host can provide network resources to other hosts or access resources located on other hosts, and each host is in charge of controlling access to those resources. An intranet is a private network that uses internet technologies. Services on an intranet are only available to hosts that are connected to the private network. An extranet is a private network that uses internet technologies, but whose resources are made available to external (but trusted) users. For example, you might create a website on a private network that only users from a partner company can access.

Metropolitan area network (MAN) Local area network (LAN) Personal area network (PAN) Wide area network (WAN) EXPLANATION A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that can cover an entire city. A city typically owns and manages a MAN as a public utility. A PAN is a small network for communication between personal devices. A LAN is contained to an office and managed by a business. A WAN is a collection of LANs that are connected together to form a large internetwork. WAN connections are typically managed by an ISP.

Which type of network do you have? Polling Client-server Peer-to-peer Multiple access EXPLANATION resources located on other hosts, and each host is in charge of controlling access to those resources. In a client/server network, hosts have specific roles. For example, some hosts are assigned server roles, which allow them to provide network resources to other hosts. Other hosts are assigned client roles, which allow them to consume network resources. Polling is a media access method where a single device grants permission to other devices to access the network. Multiple access describes a media access method where each device determines when the medium is free.
