Q. In virtual circuit network each packet contains

  • (A) full source and destination address
  • (B) a short vc number
  • (C) only source address
  • (D) only destination address
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) a short vc number

Explanation: a short vc number also called as vcid (virtual circuit identifier) is a type of identifier which is used to distinguish between several virtual circuits in a connection oriented circuit switched network. each virtual circuit is used to transfer data over a larger packet switched network.

Q. A subset of a network that includes all the routers but contains no loops is called

  • (A) spanning tree
  • (B) spider structure
  • (C) spider tree
  • (D) special tree
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) spanning tree

Explanation: spanning tree protocol (stp) is a network protocol that creates a loop free logical topology for ethernet networks. it is a layer 2 protocol that runs on bridges and switches. the main purpose of stp is to ensure that you do not create loops when you have redundant paths in your network.

Q. Which of the following is an example of physical layer vulnerability?

  • (A) mac address spoofing
  • (B) route spoofing
  • (C) weak or non-existent authentication
  • (D) keystroke & other input logging
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) keystroke & other input logging

Explanation: keystroke & other input logging is an example of physical layer vulnerability. other such physical layer vulnerabilities are unauthorized network access, damage or destruction of data & hardware and keystroke & other input logging.

Q. Which of the following is an example of data-link layer vulnerability?

  • (A) physical theft of data
  • (B) vlan circumvention
  • (C) route spoofing
  • (D) weak or non-existent authentication
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) vlan circumvention

Explanation: vlan circumvention is an example of data-link layer vulnerability. mac address spoofing, as well as switches, may be forced for flooding traffic to all vlan ports are some other examples of data-link layer vulnerability.

Q. The portion of physical layer that interfaces with the media access control sublayer is called

  • (A) physical signalling sublayer
  • (B) physical data sublayer
  • (C) physical address sublayer
  • (D) physical transport sublayer
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) physical signalling sublayer

Explanation: the portion of physical layer that interfaces with the medium access control sublayer is physical signaling sublayer. the main function of this layer is character encoding, reception, decoding and performs optional isolation functions. it

Q. In asynchronous serial communication the physical layer provides

  • (A) start and stop signalling
  • (B) flow control
  • (C) both start & stop signalling and flow control
  • (D) only start signalling
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) both start & stop signalling and flow control

Explanation: in asynchronous serial communication, the communication is not synchronized by clock signal. instead of a start and stop signaling and flow control method is followed. unlike asynchronous serial communication, in synchronous serial communication a clock signal is used for communication, so the start and stop method is not really required.

Q. Which sublayer of the data link layer performs data link functions that depend upon the type of medium?

  • (A) logical link control sublayer
  • (B) media access control sublayer
  • (C) network interface control sublayer
  • (D) error control sublayer
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) media access control sublayer

Explanation: media access control (mac) deals with transmission of data packets to and from the network-interface card, and also to and from another remotely shared channel.

Q. When 2 or more bits in a data unit has been changed during the transmission, the error is called

  • (A) random error
  • (B) burst error
  • (C) inverted error
  • (D) double error
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) burst error

Explanation: when a single bit error occurs in a data, it is called single bit error. when more than a single bit of data is corrupted or has error, it is called burst error. if a single bit error occurs, the bit can be simply repaired by inverting it, but in case of a burst error, the sender has to send the frame again.

Q. Automatic repeat request error management mechanism is provided by

  • (A) logical link control sublayer
  • (B) media access control sublayer
  • (C) network interface control sublayer
  • (D) application access control sublayer
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) logical link control sublayer

Explanation: the logical link control is a sublayer of data link layer whose main function is to manage traffic, flow and error control. the automatic repeat request error management mechanism is provided by the llc when an error is found in the received frame at the receiver’s end to inform the sender to re-send the frame.

Q. When collection of various computers seems a single coherent system to its client, then it is called

  • (A) computer network
  • (B) distributed system
  • (C) networking system
  • (D) mail system
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) distributed system

Explanation: a computer network is defined as a collection of interconnected computers which uses a single technology for connection.
