Questions & answers :
1. Mr. Hemant has set up his office with 50 computers. He wants to connect
computers and peripheral devices within his office building with wires.
Which type of network will you suggest him to use?
Answer: He should use LAN to connect computers and peripheral devices.
2. Which type of network architecture is the most suitable, when a few number
of computers, having similar power and capacity are to be networked together?
Answer: Peer-to-Peer
3. Arpita wants to attach her computer to a network so that it can participate in
network communication. Which card will you suggest her to use?

interconnecting mobile phone using short-range wireless connection. Which
technology would be the most suitable for her?

friends.
1. What is Networking? Give some common relevant examples.

Answer: Networking is a computer network that can be defined as a group of
computers and other peripheral devices that are linked together for the purpose of
sharing data and hardware resources.
Example: If one of the computer in a network has a printer attached to it, then all
the computers in that network can access the printer and use it to print the
documents, where Computer A and B in a network can give print command to the
printer attached with Computer C.
2. List some advantages of Networking.
Answer: Advantages of Networking:
• Data can be shared on a central computer.
• It reduces the cost of hardware as hardware resources can be shared.
• Updating of data is done at a single point.
• It reduces the need of hard copies as soft copies can be shared.
3. Differentiate between LAN and WAN.
Answer:
• LAN (Local Area Network)
• → In LAN, two or more computers and peripheral devices are connected
within a small area, such as room, office building or acampus.
• → In LAN, computer terminals are physically connected with wires. The data
transmission speed is fast as compared to WAN.
• Since, LAN is operated in small area, it can be controlled and administered by
a single person or an organisation.
WAN (Wide Area Network)
• This kind of network connects two or more computers located at far-away
place. They are linked by communication facilities, like telecommunication
or satellite signals.
• The most common example of WAN type network is telecom system. The
usage of WAN is limited to very large organisations and government
agencies.→
• The main characteristics of WAN is that it requires public
telecommunication media to transfer data.
4. What do you understand by network security?
Answer: Network Security means protecting data and resources from any
unauthorised access. It is the most important aspect in computer networking.
Since many users are accessing the same data, so we must ensure its proper
security. There are two general levels of network security:
• Login Security
• Rights Security
5. Explain Client-Server network.
Answer: It is a network, where several computers called clients or workstations
are connected to the main computer called the server. A server is a computer
that provides services to clients and controls access to hardware, software and
other resources. Clients are the computers, which request services, like data
retrieval, storage, etc., from the server.

Answer: a) Network
5. is a device that connects wireless communication devices to form a wireless
network.
a) WAN b) Wi-Fi c) WAP
Answer: c) WAP
Define the following :
1. WAP: WAP (Wireless Access Point) is a device that connects wireless
communication devices to form a wireless network.4
2. Bluetooth: Bluetooth is a wireless technology that is used to interconnect
mobile phones, computers, printers, etc. using short- range wireless connection.
3. Server: A server is a computer that provides services to clients and controls
access to hardware, software and other resources.
4. Node: Each computer in a network is called a node.
