Would the Wired Home WH8NDH Network Distribution Hub work for a small business?
Yes, it would work for a small business because it provides an interface between a router or switch, and the individual drop locations of a local area network.
What would happen if the network administrator moved the network cable of Host A from interface Fa01 to Fa03 on switch SW1?
the port is disabled
Why would a network administrator choose to unbind a protocol on a server?
Typically if a protocol is no longer in use on a network then it would be unbound from the interface, both on servers and on clients.
What method should be used when applying IPv4 addresses to router interfaces on a network?
When applying IPv4 addresses to router interfaces on a network, you would manually configure predictable addresses. For example, the lowest or highest address of the local subnet, on each particular router interface.
What hardware does each PC need in order to be physically connected to the switch?
I guess you are talking about a network switch. You would need a NIC, Network Interface Card, and a cable.
What is a hop in a network?
A "hop" has to do with network routing. If you are on a particular IP network, for example 192.168.1.0, and you need to get to 192.168.4.0, data must travel through a router. A router provides interfaces to join at least two distinct networks. If your data travels through only one router to get to a different network, that network is considered to be one "hop" away. Data moving through additional networks to get to the destination network increase the hop count by one for each router. Thus, in the above example, if the first router had an interface attached to the 192.168.1.0 network, and another interface attached to 192.168.2.0; and then if the next router had an interface on 192.168.2.0 and one on 192.168.3.0; and then if the next router had an interface on 192.168.3.0 and one on 192.168.4.0; then the data would travel through --one, two, three-- routers to get to the destination network. In this case, network 192.168.4.0 would be three hops away from 192.168.1.0.
What happens when your PC does not have a modem?
It either can't communicate on line, or you would have to use a NIC (Network Interface Card) to do so.
A enables your computer to connect to other computers or to the Internet?
To connect a computer to other computers (i.e. to a network) you need a network adapter, also called a Network Interface Card. This adapter should be suitable for a network which you want to connect to. Wireless adapters are for wireless networks, wired adapters are for wired networks.A network connection.if its file sharing a local network over your lan, or if its a game, social networking site on the internet its the internet.A network card connnects to a router (wireless or LAN) the the router connects to other computers or a modem (intranet-telephone interface)
How would you obtain the MAC address from a machine?
It depends on the machine. However, the MAC address is usually found in the network interface properties.
What is a computer network located within a limited geographical area?
Typically that would be a LAN (local area network)
What would be an appropriate to the question how many computers are your local area network?
22
If many users encountered a problem would you suspect problems with their local computers or other devices on the network?
You should suspect problems with the local network if the users are having similar problems, but they are located in different places. The network would be common to them and therefore the source of their problem.
