What is port switching and segment switching?
PORT SWITCHING:- A Machine is directly Connected to the Switch's port..,so that you can run parallel full speed between machines....its an expensive solution since the unit price of switch per port is high!
SEGMENT SWITCHING:- A Whole segment is connected to the port of the switch..here you can either connect the workstation directly on the switches port or use segments to connect...Its is more effective switching compared to Port Switching!
Is a simple Application layer protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers on a network?
NTP(Network Time Protocol)
What operating systems supports peer-to-peer networking?
Almost all modern day operating systems support peer to peer networking, and are usually the standard network protocol after a new installation.
10.0.0.0 what is the subnet mask of this IP address?
255.0.0.0 There is only one subnet allowed with this.

A peer to peer network that shares resources without a server is known as a?
A host in a peer to peer network can offer resources to other hosts or devices in the network without being a server. If you share a printer, or a folder across the network you are sharing information or resources with other devices; in each case neither system is a server.
The ability to do this is built in to most desktop client operating systems.
What is the difference between class a and class b address in network?
A class C network has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and can have 254 IP addresses, for example from 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255 A class B network has a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 and can have 255 X 254 IP addresses, for example from 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.255.255
What is the reason peer to peer networks are generally installed at home?
d.)The expense of a server is difficult to justify for most home networks.
PING
Do all home networks require each computer on the network to have its own network adapter?
No. Each computer's Operating System should have that built in.
All transport layer protocols are concerned with reliability?
I'm gonna say they most definitely are NOT all concerned with reliability. UDP is a transport layer protocol that provides connectionless, unreliable data delivery services.
What is the Types of network architectures?
- A design. The term architecture can refer to either hardware or software, or to a combination of hardware and software. The architecture of a system always defines its broad outlines, and may define precise mechanisms as well.
- An open architecture allows the system to be connected easily to devices and programs made by other manufacturers. Open architectures use off-the-shelf components and conform to approved standards. A system with a closed architecture, on the other hand, is one whose design is proprietary, making it difficult to connect the system to other systems.
Which information is found in both the TCP and UDP header imformation?
The host and destination ports.
Which tool can you use to verify that a network port on a computer is good?
A network multimeter will test cables, ports and network adapters and a loopback plug can work on ports provided by a computer, wall jack, patch panel, switch, router, or a other device that is turned on. Pg 505 A+ Guide to Hardware, 6th edition.

Max distance of Ethernet cat5 and cat5e?
About 324 feet. You can push that limit, but expect performance and collision issues with transmission speeds.
In which way is a modem and a network similar?
A network card is a small circuit board inside the computer, which allows the computer to communicate with others that are on the network. A modem is a communication device that uses the already-existing telephone network to facilitate computer communication.
What are computer requirements link in a network?
Should have a LAN Card installed & configured properly on the Computer to connect it to network.
How do you remove a static route from a routing table?
Assuming you have a Cisco router, you add a static route with the command ip route.... Therefore, you delete it with the command no ip route....

Can you help me sign into my yahoo account?
Yes . All you do is go to www.yahoo.com then click sign in on the top right side of your computer screen.From there all you do is type in your e-mail user ID *EXAMPLE*(johnsmith@yahoo.com you would type in john smith as your user ID.)Then the box below you would type in your password.Which would be in dots to keep it secretive. Make sure you don't forget to capitailize any letters in your password that is supposed to be. You press ''Sign In'' Then it will go back to the orginal yahoo screen. From there you simpily press ''Mail'' *it will be under you name* It then should take you to your e-mail!
What is the maximum bandwidth of LAN?
LAN Bandwidth is the bandwidth (Maximum speed) of the Local Area Network
How do you connect three routers in packet tracer?
To connect multiple routers in PacketTracer 5.2, first select the "routers" section in the bottom left hand corner. From there, you can drag two routers from the pane to the right onto the working area (the large white space on your screen). Once both routers are on the screen, click "connections" (the lightning bolt) in the lower left, and click on "Automatically choose connection type" (the first one) OR "Copper crossover" (the fourth one). You will get a cursor that looks somewhat like a taser gun. Click once on each router, and you will see a cable created between them with a red dot on either end. You can now configure and power on both routers, and they will be able to communicate.
Be sure when configuring both routers that you go into the Interface section and check that at least one FastEthernet port is set as "ON", so that the routers can communicate.
Difference between token ring and Ethernet bus?
Token bus is as far as I know the theory that token ring's transmission is based on.
Both physical layers of networking, can be said that they were two competing set of networking technology, both initial members of IEEE 802.x networking family.
Token ring is based on passing packets along a track from one station to another like a passenger in a train, for fail-safe redundancy there were 2 duplicate tracks can be thought as one clockwise one counter-clockwise in a ringed/circular arrangement.
Ethernet is rather about shooting packets from source to destination. If there is another packet being shot a collision is this, the packets are lost and shooters agree to re-shoot at a random time hopefully and likely so avoid the collision again, but if it happens again do it again and again...
