FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Back
star
Answer explanation
The star physical topology is common in smaller networks. It is easy to troubleshoot, and connection issues are limited to the cable and host affected. Bus and ring topologies are harder to troubleshoot. Extended star topologies are more suitable for larger, more complex networks.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Which media access method requires that an end device send a notification across the media before sending data?
Back
CSMA/CA
Answer explanation
Using CSMA/CA as the media access control method, a device will examine the network media. If there is no carrier, the device sends a notification and, if no other device uses the media, it begins to send its data. This method differs from CSMA/CD, where a device will send data once it senses that the media is free, without sending a notification.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Which WAN topology is most suitable for an enterprise with four branches where the headquarters needs full connectivity to all branches, but the branches do not need to be connected directly to each other?
Back
hub and spoke
Answer explanation
A point-to-point topology only connects two nodes. A bus is a legacy topology for LANs. Mesh and full mesh topologies have more connectivity than needed (all or most of the branches will be connected to each other). A hub and spoke design will connect the headquarters to all of its branches, as desired.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is a characteristic of CSMA/CA that differs from CSMA/CD?
Back
An end device sends a notification across the media before it sends a data frame.
Answer explanation
Both CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA are contention-based access control methods. With CSMA/CD, each end device monitors the media for the presence of a data signal. If the media is free, the device transmits data. With CSMA/CA, each end device also examines the media for the presence of a data signal. If the media is free, the device sends a notification across the media of its intent to use it. The device then sends data. With this method, CSMA/CA avoids possible collisions but does not completely stop them.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Which statement correctly describes the operation of CSMA/CD? Options: The end device waits until it receives a token then transmits the data. The end device waits until there is no carrier signal, transmits a token, then transmits the data. The end device waits until there are no data signals then transmits the data while listening for collisions. The end device waits until there are no data signals, sends a notification that it is going to use the media, then transmits the data.
Back
The end device waits until there are no data signals then transmits the data while listening for collisions.
Answer explanation
Nodes using carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) wait until the media is not being used before sending data. They will then listen for signals from other nodes that may indicate that a collision has occurred. If a node is using collision avoidance (CSMA/CA), it will notify the other nodes of its intent to transmit data to prevent a collision. Controlled access techniques, such as token passing, do not experience collisions.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Which topology type describes the process that hosts use to access and communicate on a network?
Back
logical
Answer explanation
A physical topology defines the way in which computers, printers, and other devices are connected to a network. A star topology is a type of physical topology and has a central connection point, which is a device such as a hub, switch, or router. A bus topology is another type of physical topology where each computer connects to a common cable.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How does a device use CSMA/CA technology to avoid collisions?
Back
It sends a notification before transmitting when the media is free.
Answer explanation
In CSMA/CA, the device examines the media for the presence of a data signal. If the media is free, the device sends a notification across the media of its intent to use it. The device then sends the data. This method is used by 802.11 wireless networking technologies.
