·         They have a peer-to-peer (P2P) network mod

 

In question 11, suppose one computer is upgraded from Windows 7 Professional to Windows Server 2012 R2. Which networking model can the network now support that it could not support without the upgrade?

 

·         They now have a client-sever network model, which allows them to access their data from any computer on the network that was not possible on the P2P network model.

·         Star Bus Topology

 

What are the fundamental distinctions between a layer 2 switch and router?

Layer 2 switch operating on a local network while the router routes to an outside

 

·         network.

 

What are the fundamental distinctions between a node and a host?

 

 

·         A host is a computer/device that has an application or data that is needed by other electronics while a node is any computer/device that can be addressed on the network

 

 

What are the fundamental distinctions between a MAN and WAN?

 

·         A MAN is a network that deals with communication within a specific area such as a metropolis area, while a WAN covers connection with in a greater geological sphere.

 

What is a message called that is delivered by TCP? What is the message called that is delivered by UDP? At which layer do the two protocols work?

 

·         The two protocols work on the 4th layer/Transport layer. The connection for TCP is called a segments , UDP is a datagram

 

Which type of address is used at the Transport layer to identify the receiving application?

 

·         The transport layer identifies the receiving application through the port number.

 

Is TCP or UDP normally used when streaming live video? Why?

 

·         UDP because live video-streaming, because losses in data are tolerated if it means speeds are high

 

At the Network layer, what is a message called?

 

·         Packet

·         Frames

 

At the Link layer, which type of network address is used to identify the receiving node?

 

·         MAC

 

Why is it important to wear an ESD strap when installing a server in a rack?

 

·         It's important to wear an ESD strap because it equalizes the electrical potentials between you and the device
