Communication Part 2 Questions

What is a thick client?

• A device that only works when connected to a server

• A device that can only process data when connected to the internet

• A device or software that can work online or offline

• A device that relies heavily on access to a server

Which of the following is an example of a thick client?

• A game like Monster Hunter World

• A cash register

• A web browser

• A device that relies on a server for constant access to files

What is a characteristic of a thin client?

• It can work offline without being connected to a server

• It relies heavily on access to a server for constant access to files

• It can process data without being connected to the internet

• It is a device that can work independently without a server

Which network topology uses a single central cable to which all computers and devices are connected?

• Star

• Bus

• Mesh

• Hybrid

What is a disadvantage of a bus network?

• Data collisions are greatly reduced

• It is more secure than other network topologies

• If the main cable goes out the whole network goes down

• It is easy to expand the size of the network

What is a characteristic of a star network?

• If the central node fails, the whole network goes down

• It is suited for situations with a small number of devices with light traffic

• It is considered to be part of the peer-to-peer model

• It is more secure since security methods can be applied to the central node

What is a benefit of a mesh network?

• It requires a large amount of cabling

• It is not suited for evolving networks

• It is difficult and complex to set up and maintain

• It is easy to identify where faults on the network have occurred

What is a characteristic of a hybrid network?

• It is not suited for the creation of larger networks

• It is less complex than other network topologies

• It is a mixture of two or more different topologies

• It is easy to install, configure, and maintain

What is a benefit of a public cloud?

• It is expensive to pay for download/upload of data

• It is difficult to access files if there is no internet or unstable connection

• It offers almost unlimited storage capabilities

• Files on the cloud can only be accessed from the same computer

What is a drawback of a private cloud?

• It is specifically for a company and the only one using the servers

• It offers a higher level of control and security

• It is difficult to customize the cloud to meet a business's needs

• It poses a risk of losing all back up data if the cloud goes down
