Ultra Basic Networking Questions :-

1. What is networking?
A computer network is a set of computers sharing resources located on or provided by network nodes. The computers use
common communication protocols over digital interconnections to communicate with each other.
2. What is a node?
a node is either a redistribution point or a communication endpoint. The definition of a node depends on the network and
protocol layer referred to. A physical network node is an electronic device that is attached to a network, and is capable of
creating, receiving, or transmitting information over a communication channel.
3. What is IP?
Internet Proctol is a 32 bit Address. IP stands for "Internet Protocol," which is the set of rules governing the format of data
sent via the internet or local network. In essence, IP addresses are the identifier that allows information to be sent
between devices on a network: they contain location information and make devices accessible for communication.
4. What is DNS?
DNS, or the Domain Name System, translates human readable domain names (for example, www.amazon.com) to
machine readable IP addresses.
5. What is DHCP?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks
for automatically assigning IP addresses and other communication parameters to devices connected to the network using
a client–server architecture.
6. What is DORA?
Used in DHCP
D - Discover
H - Host
R - Request
A - Acknowledgement.

7. What is Firewall?
A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an
organization's previously established security policies.
8. What are OSI layers?
1.Application
2.presentation
3.Session
4.Transport
5.Network
6.Datalink
7.Physical
9. What is the TCP/IP model?
Internet protocol suite, commonly known as TCP/IP, is the set of communications protocols used in the Internet and similar computer
networks. The current foundational protocols in the suite are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP).
10. What is TCP?
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is an important network protocol that lets two hosts connect and exchange data
streams. TCP guarantees the delivery of data and packets in the same order as they were sent.
11. What is UDP?
User Datagram Protocol is one of the core members of the Internet protocol suite. With UDP, computer applications can
send messages, in this case referred to as datagrams, to other hosts on an Internet Protocol network.
12. What is the LAN?
a local area network is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence,
school, laboratory, university campus or office building.
13. What is topology?
Network topology is the arrangement of the elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a communication network. Network topology
can be used to define or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including command
and control radio networks, industrial field buses and computer networks.
14. What is the RJ45?
Registered Jack-45 is an eight-pin connector that is a standardized interface which often connects a computer to a local area network
(LAN). Registered jack specifications are related to the wiring patterns of the jacks, rather than their physical characteristics.
15. What is the color code for ethernet crimping?

16. What are the Ethernet Wiring types?

1.Straight through cable
2.Cross over cable
3.Roll over cable
4.Loop back cable
17. What is wifi?
Wifi is a radio device used in LAN to connect devices wirelessly.
18. Mention some networking components?
Router
Switch
Repeater
Bridge
Firewall
Hub
Lan cable
Modem
19. What are the types of networks?
a. Local Area Network (LAN)
b. Personal Area Network (PAN)
c. Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
d. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
e. Wide Area Network (WAN)
f. Storage-Area Network (SAN)
g. Virtual Private Network (VPN)
20. What is NAS?
Network-attached storage (NAS) is a file-level (as opposed to block-level storage) computer data storage server
connected to a computer network providing data access to a heterogeneous group of clients. NAS is specialized for
serving files either by its hardware, software, or configuration.
21. What is the collision domain?
A collision domain is a network segment connected by a shared medium or through repeaters where simultaneous data
transmissions collide with one another.
22. What is FTP?
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard communication protocol used for the transfer of computer files from a server to
a client on a computer network. FTP is built on a client–server model architecture using separate control and data
connections between the client and the server.
23. What is MAC?
Media Access Control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for
use as a network address in communications within a network segment
