A network connects devices so they can share data and resources. It is not a single computer, storage device, or browser.
题目 2
What is an IP address?
An IP address identifies a device on a network at the network layer. MAC addresses are hardware addresses, and passwords or cables are different.
题目 3
What is a MAC address?
A MAC address is the physical address assigned to a network interface. IP addresses are logical, and DNS or firewall rules are different.
题目 4
What does a subnet mask do?
A subnet mask separates the network and host portions of an address. Encryption, DNS resolution, and MAC assignment are separate functions.
题目 5
What is DNS used for?
DNS translates names like example.com into IP addresses. DHCP assigns addresses, firewalls filter, and encryption protects data.
题目 6
What is DHCP used for?
DHCP assigns IP configuration to clients automatically. DNS resolves names, routers forward packets, and encryption protects data.
题目 7
What is TCP?
TCP provides reliable, ordered delivery with connections. UDP is connectionless, routing protocols forward packets, and wireless standards define radio links.
题目 8
What is UDP?
UDP sends datagrams without establishing a connection, which reduces overhead. TCP is reliable, and DNS servers or switches are devices.
题目 9
What is a router?
Routers forward packets between networks using IP addresses. Switches connect LAN devices, and cables or printers are not routers.
题目 10
What is a switch?
Switches forward frames between devices on a LAN. Routers connect networks, modems convert signals, and firewalls filter traffic.
题目 11
What is a firewall?
Firewalls permit or block traffic according to rules. Access points provide Wi-Fi, switches connect LAN devices, and DNS servers resolve names.
题目 12
What is bandwidth?
Bandwidth measures how much data a link can carry. Latency measures delay, device count is scale, and encryption strength is security.
题目 13
What is Ethernet?
Ethernet is a wired LAN technology that transmits frames. Wi-Fi is wireless, OSPF is routing, and DNS resolves names.
题目 14
What is Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi is a wireless LAN technology using radio waves. Ethernet is wired, and routing or VPN are different.
题目 15
What is a VLAN?
A VLAN creates separate broadcast domains on a switch. It is not a cable, firewall rule, or DNS zone.
题目 16
What is a VPN?
A VPN encrypts traffic through a tunnel. VLANs segment traffic, access points provide Wi-Fi, and cables are physical.
题目 17
What is a load balancer?
Load balancers spread requests across servers for availability. Firewalls block, DNS resolves, and switches connect.
题目 18
What is a proxy server?
A proxy acts on behalf of clients for web or other traffic. It is not a router, tester, or printer.
题目 19
What is a hub?
Hubs broadcast to all connected ports, while switches filter by MAC. Routers connect networks and firewalls filter traffic.
题目 20
What is an access point?
An access point bridges wireless clients to the wired network. Routers forward between networks, and switches or firewalls are different.
题目 21
What is Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
PoE supplies power through Ethernet cabling to devices such as access points. It is not wireless power, firewall, or routing.
题目 22
What is fiber optic cable?
Fiber optic cables send light pulses, offering high speed and low interference. Copper uses electricity, and antennas are wireless.
题目 23
What is a patch panel?
Patch panels organize and terminate cabling. They do not filter, resolve names, or balance load.
题目 24
What is a gateway?
A gateway translates between different protocols or networks. It is not a port, cable, or DNS record.
题目 25
What is SNMP used for?
SNMP lets administrators collect metrics from network devices. DNS resolves names, DHCP assigns addresses, and encryption protects data.
题目 26
What is Syslog used for?
Syslog centralizes log messages from devices. Bandwidth monitors measure traffic, ping tests connectivity, and DHCP assigns addresses.
题目 27
What is an SLA?
An SLA defines agreed service expectations such as uptime and response time. It is not cabling, firewalls, or routing.
题目 28
What is uptime?
Uptime measures availability. Downtime is offline time, boot time is startup, and response time is latency.
题目 29
What is a performance baseline?
Baselines record normal performance so anomalies can be detected. Policies, backups, and cable tests are different.
题目 30
What is change management?
Change management plans, reviews, and documents changes to reduce risk. It is not backup, firewall, or monitoring alone.
题目 31
What is an incident in network operations?
Incidents are unplanned disruptions. Maintenance, backups, and account creation are planned operations.
题目 32
What is a runbook?
Runbooks contain repeatable operational steps. Logs, DNS zones, and ports are not procedures.
题目 33
What is a backup?
Backups protect data so it can be restored. Firewalls, routing tables, and cables are not backups.
题目 34
What is a disaster recovery plan?
Disaster recovery plans restore services after major outages. Monitoring, patching, and VLANs are separate.
题目 35
What is a patch?
Patches fix bugs and security vulnerabilities. Cables, firewall rules, and ports are not patches.
题目 36
Which of the following are network monitoring tools? Select all that apply.
SNMP, Syslog, and Ping help monitor and test networks. A spreadsheet is not a network monitoring tool.
