Click on the MOST correct answer


1	What happens when a device is disconnected from the middle of a BUS network?
		The hub will propagate error messages to the rest of the network
		All devices on the network will fail
		The Server will stop responding to that device
		Data will not be able to get to devices on the other side of this device
		If a bridge is on the network, only that segment will be effected

2	Why is there a limit to the number of MAUs that can be connected together in a standard Token-ring network?
		Too many MAUs would exceed the cable limits imposed by the Token Ring specification
		Too many MAUs would create to large of a collision domain for communications to take place
		Too many MAUs require more electricity than the devices can support
		Too many devices connected through MAUs requires more time to get control of the token that communications becomes unacceptable
		There is no limit to the number of MAUs a token ring network can support

3	How many devices can communicate simultaneously within a Token-ring LAN?
		One for each MAU on the LAN
		One
		Two
		As many devices as the administrator defines within the NOS
		Between 1 and 5 if the ring speed is 16mbp/s

12	What are the two methods switching hubs use to transport data between devices?
		Routing
		Forwarding
		Cut-through
		Active
		Store-and-forward

13	What happens when a device is disconnected from the middle of a BUS network?
		The hub will propagate error messages to the rest of the network
		All devices on the network will fail
		The Server will stop responding to that device
		Data will not be able to get to devices on the other side of this device
		If a bridge is on the network, only that segment will be effected

14	What are some advantages of a Client/Server network over a Peer-to-Peer network?
		Performance is better on a Peer-to-Peer
		Security is better on a Client/Server
		Performance is better on a Client/Server
		Security is better on a Peer-to-Peer
		Client/Server is easier to administrate
