Q. Which device simply forwards data without filtering?
  • (A) Hub
  • (B) Switch
  • (C) Router
  • (D) Firewall
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) Hub

Explanation: A hub broadcasts data to all devices without filtering. Switches filter using MAC addresses, routers filter by IP, and firewalls control traffic based on rules.

Q. Which protocol is used to securely transfer files?
  • (A) FTP
  • (B) TFTP
  • (C) SFTP
  • (D) SMTP
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) SFTP

Explanation: SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) provides encrypted file transfers. FTP and TFTP are insecure. SMTP is for email.

Q. Which IP version uses 128-bit addressing?
  • (A) IPv4
  • (B) IPv6
  • (C) IPX
  • (D) ARP
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) IPv6

Explanation: IPv6 uses 128-bit addressing, providing a much larger address space than IPv4 (32-bit). IPX and ARP are different protocols.

Q. Which layer of OSI ensures data encryption?
  • (A) Session Layer
  • (B) Transport Layer
  • (C) Presentation Layer
  • (D) Application Layer
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) Presentation Layer

Explanation: The Presentation Layer is responsible for data encryption, compression, and translation. Transport handles reliability, Session manages connections.

Q. Which protocol assigns IP addresses automatically?
  • (A) DNS
  • (B) DHCP
  • (C) ICMP
  • (D) SNMP
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) DHCP

Explanation: DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses. DNS resolves domain names, ICMP is for errors, SNMP manages devices.

Q. Which cable is immune to electromagnetic interference?
  • (A) Coaxial cable
  • (B) Twisted pair cable
  • (C) Fiber optic cable
  • (D) Ethernet Cat5 cable
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) Fiber optic cable

Explanation: Fiber optic cables use light instead of electrical signals, making them immune to EMI. Coaxial and twisted pair can be affected.

Q. Which protocol is used to transfer web pages?
  • (A) FTP
  • (B) HTTP
  • (C) SMTP
  • (D) IMAP
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) HTTP

Explanation: HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is used to transfer web pages. FTP is for files, SMTP for sending email, IMAP for retrieving email.

Q. Which address is used by switches to forward frames?
  • (A) IP Address
  • (B) MAC Address
  • (C) Port Number
  • (D) Subnet Mask
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) MAC Address

Explanation: Switches operate at Layer 2 and use MAC addresses to forward frames. IP addresses are Layer 3, ports are Transport Layer.

Q. Which layer is responsible for physical transmission of data?
  • (A) Data Link Layer
  • (B) Network Layer
  • (C) Transport Layer
  • (D) Physical Layer
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) Physical Layer

Explanation: The Physical Layer transmits raw bits over the physical medium like cables and wireless. Other layers handle logical addressing and data management.
