E.Short Answer Questions.:
Pg. 16
1.Ans:
The term network topology refers to the way in which the nodes(computer or
other devices that need to communicate)of a network are linked together.
2.LAN:
a.Local Area Netwok.
b.It connects computers and devices located close to one another,such as
many computers in one building.
c.Example:computers connected in an office.
WAN:
a. Wide Area Netwok.
b. It connects LAN and MAN together.
c. Example:Internet and ATM facility.
3.Ans:
It helps by improving online ticket booking,real –time train tracking schedules
and passenger information.
E.Long Answer Questions.:
Pg. 16
1.Ans:
a.star topology
Advantages:
It has minimal line cost.
It any of the local computers fails,the remaining portion of the network
remains unaffected.
Disadvantages:
The system entirely depends on the central switch.If it fails,the entire
network goes down.
b.mesh topology
Advantages:
Failure of one node does not affect the rest of the network.
Communication is very fast between any two nodes.
Changes in the network are done easily without interrupting other
nodes.
Disadvantages:
It is the most expensive network as ther are many redundant
connections.
Maintenance of this network is very difficult.
2.Ans:
Your computer is a workstation on the network.It is connected to the
other computers and devices by a communication channel,such as
cable.
A file file server is a computer that distributes or serves application
programs and data files to the workstation.
Printer is usually attached to the file server.It is referred to as a
nretwork printer.
3.Ans:
In a computer laboratory,information sharing works through a LAN
where all computers are connected,allowing students to sharefiles,printers
and resources securely within the group.
4.Ans:
There are many ways to transfer photos from a mobile phone to a computer
without using the internet. The easiest and fastest method is using a USB
cable. However, if you don’t have a cable, you can also use Bluetooth, a
memory card, or a pen drive with an OTG cable. All these methods are safe
and do not require any internet connection.
