TRUE OR FALSE- In the Ethernet designation 100Base-T, the letter “T” stands for “time.”
- In a “star topology” network design, all points in the network connect to, and only to, a single central point.
- The Internet protocol that allows nodes to temporarily acquire an IP address is called “SNMP,” or simple network management protocol.
- A local area network (LAN) is defined as a network within a single room or building.
- “DAN” is the acronym for a digital audio network.
ANSWERS
1. FALSE. The letter indicates the type of cabling or transmission method. In this example, the specification is for Ethernet at a speed of 100 Mb/s over unshielded twisted pair, and the “T” indicates “twisted.” The word “base” indicates “baseband.”
2. TRUE. The central point may be a network hub or switch.
3. FALSE. It's DHCP, or dynamic host control protocol. DHCP greatly simplifies the administration of large networks, and networks that nodes such as laptops frequently join and depart from.
4. FALSE. A LAN is usually intended to define a communications infrastructure designed to use dedicated wiring over a limited distance — typically a diameter of less than 5 km — to connect a large number of intercommunicating nodes.
5. FALSE. Currently, there's no acronym for “digital audio network,” nor any generally accepted standards for digital audio networking.
