What is a local area network (LAN)?

• A network that connects devices in a small geographical area, such as a home or office

• A network that connects devices over a large geographical area, such as a city or country

• A network that connects devices using wireless technology, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth

• A network that connects devices using storage devices, such as hard disks or flash drives

What is the difference between peer-to-peer and client/server network architectures?

• In peer-to-peer, all devices have equal roles and responsibilities, while in client/server, some devices have specific roles and responsibilities.

• In peer-to-peer, all devices communicate directly with each other, while in client/server, some devices communicate through a central device.

• In peer-to-peer, all devices share resources and services, while in client/server, some devices provide resources and services to others.

• All of the above

What is the benefit of using thin clients in a network?

• They reduce the workload on the server.

• They increase the performance of the network.

• They lower the maintenance and upgrade costs.

• They enhance the user experience and satisfaction.

What is virtualisation in the context of networking?

• It is the process of creating virtual versions of physical devices or resources on a network.

• It is the process of creating virtual networks within or across physical networks.

• It is the process of creating virtual applications or services on a network.

• All of the above

What is cloud computing in the context of networking?

• It is the delivery of computing resources and services over the internet on demand.

• It is the storage of data and files on remote servers accessible over the internet.

• It is the use of software applications that run on web browsers instead of local devices.

• All of the above

What is BYOD in the context of networking?

• It is the policy that allows employees to use their own personal devices to access the corporate network and data.
