Question 4
Move the security options from the list on the left to its characteristic on the right. You may use each security option once, more than once, or not at all.
Note: You will receive partial credit for each correct answer.
Note: You will receive partial credit for each correct answer.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
The correct matching of the security options to their characteristics is as follows:
* WPA2-Enterprise: Uses a RADIUS server for authentication
* WEP: Uses a minimum of 40 bits for encryption
* WPA2-Personal: Uses AES and a pre-shared key for authentication
Here's why each security option matches the characteristic:
* WPA2-Enterpriseuses a RADIUS server for authentication, which provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management for users who connect and use a network service.
* WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)is an outdated security protocol that uses a minimum of 40 bits for encryption (and up to 104 bits), which is relatively weak by today's standards.
* WPA2-Personal(Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 - Personal) uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for encryption and a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication, which is shared among users to access the network.
These security options are essential for protecting wireless networks from unauthorized access and ensuring data privacy.
Question 5
Move each network type from the list on the left to the correct example on the right.
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
* Two home office computers are connected to a switch by Ethernet cables.
* Network Type: LAN (Local Area Network)
* Explanation: A LAN connects devices within a limited area such as a home, office, or building, using Ethernet cables or Wi-Fi.
* Three government buildings in the same city connect to a cable company over coaxial cables.
* Network Type: MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
* Explanation: A MAN connects networks across a city or campus, often using fiber optic or coaxial cables.
* A cell phone connects to a Bluetooth headset.
* Network Type: PAN (Personal Area Network)
* Explanation: A PAN connects devices within a personal workspace, typically using wireless technologies like Bluetooth.
* A financial institution connects its branches through a telecommunications service provider.
* Network Type: WAN (Wide Area Network)
* Explanation: A WAN connects multiple LANs over long distances, often using leased lines or satellite links provided by telecommunications companies.
* LAN (Local Area Network): Used for connecting devices within a small geographical area such as a single building or home.
* MAN (Metropolitan Area Network): Covers a larger geographical area than a LAN, typically a city or campus.
* PAN (Personal Area Network): Connects devices within the range of an individual person, such as connecting a phone to a Bluetooth headset.
* WAN (Wide Area Network): Spans large geographical areas, connecting multiple LANs across cities, countries, or continents.
