Networking Question Answers

Q.1 Answer the following:

a) Define the term network topology.

Network topology refers to the physical or logical layout of interconnected devices in a computer network. Examples

include star, ring, bus, mesh, and hybrid topologies.

b) List IEEE 802X standards for network.

- IEEE 802.1 - Network management

- IEEE 802.2 - Logical Link Control (LLC)

- IEEE 802.3 - Ethernet (Wired LAN)

- IEEE 802.5 - Token Ring

- IEEE 802.11 - Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi)

- IEEE 802.15 - Bluetooth

- IEEE 802.16 - WiMAX

c) Classify mobile generations.

1G - Analog voice

2G - Digital voice (GSM, CDMA)

3G - Mobile data and video calling

4G - High-speed internet and HD video

5G - Ultra-fast internet, IoT, low latency

d) State types of Multiplexing.

- Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)

- Time Division Multiplexing (TDM)

- Code Division Multiplexing (CDM)

- Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)

e) Write difference between repeater and router.

Repeater:

- Regenerates signal

- Works at Physical Layer

- No IP address

Router:

- Forwards data between networks


- Works at Network Layer

- Has IP address

f) List different types of network connecting devices.

- Hub

- Switch

- Router

- Bridge

- Repeater

- Gateway

- Modem

g) State functions of Network layer.

- Logical addressing (IP address)

- Routing of packets

- Packet forwarding

- Fragmentation and reassembly

Q.2 Attempt any five of the following:

a) Draw and explain architecture of 802.11 Wireless LAN.

802.11 wireless LAN architecture includes:

- Access Point (AP): Acts as central transmitter and receiver

- Stations (Clients): Laptops, phones, etc.

- Distribution System (DS): Connects APs

- SSID & BSSID: Identifiers for network & access point

b) Compare IPv4 and IPv6.

IPv4:

- 32-bit address

- Decimal format

- 20-byte header

IPv6:

- 128-bit address

- Hexadecimal format

- 40-byte header

- Built-in security
c) Draw and explain layered architecture of OSI reference model.

OSI Layers (Top to Bottom):

1. Application

2. Presentation

3. Session

4. Transport

5. Network

6. Data Link

7. Physical

d) Explain with neat sketch working of router and switch.

Router:

- Connects multiple networks

- Uses IP address

Switch:

- Connects devices in same network

- Uses MAC address

e) Differentiate between router and switch.

Router:

- Network Layer

- IP address

- Slower

Switch:

- Data Link Layer

- MAC address

- Faster

f) Design network layout for organization with five departments.

One central switch connected to 5 department switches (HR, Admin, IT, Sales, Accounts) and router for internet.

g) Explain process of DHCP configuration.

1. DHCP Discover: Client broadcasts request

2. DHCP Offer: Server sends offer

3. DHCP Request: Client accepts

4. DHCP Acknowledgment: Server assigns IP
