Try a few questions
- Practice question 1
A network's scalability refers to its ability to accommodate
- A.no additional devices of any kind, ever
- B.a complete shutdown once its original capacity is reached
- C.a permanent, fixed number of users with no possible change
- D.growth, such as additional users or devices, over time
Show the answer
D. growth, such as additional users or devices, over time
Scalability specifically describes how well a network can grow to handle more users or devices over time.
- Practice question 2
Network cabling standards help ensure consistent performance and compatibility across
- A.a single, isolated installation only, with no broader relevance
- B.installations using only a single specific cable brand
- C.no installations at all, since standards have no practical effect
- D.different network installations
Show the answer
D. different network installations
Cabling standards support consistency and compatibility across many different network installations.
- Practice question 3
A star network topology connects all devices to a central hub or switch, through which
- A.no data communication is possible at all
- B.only a single device can ever communicate
- C.all data communication passes
- D.communication bypasses the central hub entirely
Show the answer
C. all data communication passes
In a star topology, the central hub or switch manages and routes all communication between connected devices.
