While

A Router is a device that transmits & receives information from network in a controlled manner.i.e a router has a ability to route information to specific devices connected in the network ,it does so with the help of a routing table which contains all the information about the systems connected to the network. A router sometimes works as a Firewallalso,it controls traffic,rejects unwanted packets.But, its actually not a Firewall device

Why crossover configuration of unshielded twisted-pair UTP for Ethernet cable is needed in connecting 2 PCs through Ethernet interface?

It is needed because you need to reverse the signals of a transmit line to a receive signal line. This is what network connectivity devices do, such as hubs, switches, etc. If you aren't using a connection device then the cable has to do that job.

Under what circumstance would it be appropriate to use private IP address?

The usual reason to use private IP addresses is when you have to share a single public IP address (or a few public IP addresses) among a larger number of computers. Nowadays, this situation is quite common - it is no longer possible to assign a public IP (version 4) address to each and every computer; IP addresses are starting to get scarce. In the scenario mentioned above, private IP addresses according to RFC 1918 are used in combination with NAT (network address translation).

Why is it advisable that a network administrator use SSH instead of Telnet when managing switches?

All commands sent over Telnet are transmitted in plain text. An intruder on the network could potentially capture ethernet frames as they move across the media. The captured frames could reveal the network configuration including passwords.

SSH (Secure Shell) encrypts all data sent between the client and server.

In a peer to peer network only the central host computer supplies the resources the other computers request resources from this host?

No - a peer to peer network means that every device (even a standalone server) has the same authority in the network. Each device can choose to share resources with other devices in the network.

In such a network there really isn't a 'central host' computer, unless you put a file or print or database service on a server that the other devices might want access to.

Why host have been assigned the same network ip address?

You will need to log into your router/modem, and make sure that you have DHCP enabled. This allows the router to assign each machine/mac address it's own IP address, so they do not conflict.
