| Describe a LAN | Lan (local area network) is a network linked together by cables |
| Describe a WAN | Wan(wireless are network) is a network linked together by WiFi. |
| What are the advantages of a computer network? | The advantages of a computer is you get to share information between computers and licences are likely to be cheaper than buying several standalone licences. |
| What are the disadvantages of a computer network? | There are no disadvantages |
| What devices are needed to produce a LAN? | Network Adaptor. A computer needs a network adaptor to connect to a network. ... Network Medium. Wired networks need cable. ... Cable Connectors. ... Power Supply. ... Hub/Switch/Router. ... |
| What is the purpose of a NIC? | It has to converts the data signals from the nodes into data signals that can be transferred across the network. |
| What is the purpose of a Router? | A router is needed to connect to the internet to use LAN. Routers work by sending data between networks |
| What is the purpose of a Hub? | A device that connects nodes together. Its not intelligent, data is sent to all nodes across the whole of the network. |
| What is the purpose of a Switch? | A device that connects nodes together. An intelligent device that can sends data to the nodes that the data is intended for. This reduces network traffic because making the network run faster. |
| What is the purpose of a WAP? | In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP), or more generally just access point (AP), is a networking hardware device that allows a Wi-Fi device to connect to a wired network. |
| What is the difference between a Hub and a Switch? | A hub is not intelligent but a switch is. |
| what is the internet | a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, |
| what is the world wide web | an information system on the Internet which allows documents to be connected to other documents |

| What are the three different network topologies? | Star ring bus |
| What are the advantages / disadvantages of a Star topology? | Advantages • Fastest performance • Easy to install and to expand with extra nodes • A failure in the minor cables will only affect one node Disadvantages • Uses the most cable which makes it more expensive • An extra hub or switch further increases the cost |
| What are the advantages / disadvantages of a Ring topology? | Advantages • One-way system so not affected by heavy traffic Disadvantages • Cable failure anywhere will affect the whole network • Need to ‘break’ the ring in order to add a new node All nodes must be switched on |
| What are the advantages / disadvantages of a Bus topology? | Advantages • The simplest and cheapest to install and extend • Failure of one node does not affect the rest of the bus network Disadvantages • If the main bus cable fails then the whole network will fail • Performance of the network slows down rapidly with more nodes or heavy network traffic |
| List examples of data that need to be kept secure | 1)making regular backups of files (backup copies should be stored in fireproof safes or in another building) 2)protecting yourself against viruses by running anti-virus software. 3)using a system of passwords so that access to data is restricted |
| What is HTTPS and what is it used for? | Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure |
| What is encryption? | The process of converting information or data into a code, especially to prevent unauthorized access. |
