CIT 212 - Networking 2 (Advanced Networking)
Course Work 1.0
*Answer the following questions base or may not be based on the video lecture, if do so do
some research with regards
to the subject matter and questionnaire. Self explanatory. Individual work.
*No fancy fonts and borders.
*Submit in minimal PDF format.
Q1. What is a Computer Network, why the need for a Computer Network?
- A Computer Network provides data sharing services such as user communication, file
sharing, and hardware sharing. Without computer networks, users will not be able to
utilize the services provided by a network.
Q2. Why the need to connect the devices in a network? What network applications are
commonly if not widely being used or abused? Give at least 5 with definitions and functions.
- Devices are connected through the means of a network, connecting these devices
allows them to share data. The data can be one of the following: a print job for a printer,
sending an email, or streaming a video, this can also be used for sharing internet
connection. Most network activity these days goes around using email programs,
groupware, Telnet, and FTP.
Q3. What are network medias, give at least 5 with definitions and functions. e.g. Hub
- There are various types of cable in which Physical Transmission Media works.
Twisted-pair cable is used for telephone communications and most modern ethernet
networks, Coax-cabling that is typically used for cable TV, Fiber Optic cable which
contains strands of glass fibers inside an insulated casing that is designed for
long-distance, high-performance data networking, and telecommunications.
There is also Wireless Transmission Media that was made more convenient than
installing cables. In addition, some businesses use wireless transmission media in
locations where it is impossible to install cables. Types of wireless transmission media
used in communications include: infrared, broadcast radio, cellular radio, microwaves,
and communications satellites.
Q4. What is the difference between a HUB and a SWITCH HUB? A hub to a patch panel? A
wireless router to a wireless access point? Define and explain.

CIT 212 - Networking 2 (Advanced Networking) Course Work 1. *Answer the following questions base or may not be based on the video lecture, if do so do some research with regards to the subject matter and questionnaire. Self explanatory. Individual work. *No fancy fonts and borders. *Submit in minimal PDF format. Q1. What is a Computer Network, why the need for a Computer Network?

  • A Computer Network provides data sharing services such as user communication, file sharing, and hardware sharing. Without computer networks, users will not be able to utilize the services provided by a network. Q2. Why the need to connect the devices in a network? What network applications are commonly if not widely being used or abused? Give at least 5 with definitions and functions.
  • Devices are connected through the means of a network, connecting these devices allows them to share data. The data can be one of the following: a print job for a printer, sending an email, or streaming a video, this can also be used for sharing internet connection. Most network activity these days goes around using email programs, groupware, Telnet, and FTP. Q3. What are network medias, give at least 5 with definitions and functions. e.g. Hub
  • There are various types of cable in which Physical Transmission Media works. Twisted-pair cable is used for telephone communications and most modern ethernet networks, Coax-cabling that is typically used for cable TV, Fiber Optic cable which contains strands of glass fibers inside an insulated casing that is designed for long-distance, high-performance data networking, and telecommunications. There is also Wireless Transmission Media that was made more convenient than installing cables. In addition, some businesses use wireless transmission media in locations where it is impossible to install cables. Types of wireless transmission media used in communications include: infrared, broadcast radio, cellular radio, microwaves, and communications satellites. Q4. What is the difference between a HUB and a SWITCH HUB? A hub to a patch panel? A wireless router to a wireless access point? Define and explain.
  • A Hub is a networking device that allows you to connect multiple PCs to a single network, whereas a Switch connects various devices together on a single computer network. A patch panel is a piece of plastic/metal that holds a bundle of cables and makes it easier to connect patch cables to a switch. A switch/hub is a computer device that transmits electrical signals from one piece of cable to another based on the OSI model. Sometimes these cables go through a patch panel to make the connections look pretty.The router acts as a hub that sets up a local area network and manages all of the devices and communication in it. An access point, on the other hand, is a sub-device within the local area network that provides another location for devices to connect from and enables more devices to be on the network. Q5. What is a SOHO network and an Enterprise network? Differentiate the two, what are the compositions of the networks being questioned, functions, and applications.
  • SOHO (Small office/Home office) networks have a very small number of users as opposed to Enterprise networks. SOHO networks are often limited in coverage and they usually cover only one location. SOHO networks are small LANs (Local Area Networks). Typically, SOHO networks consist of less than 10 computers. Network service servers like DNS server, email server, web server etc. are typically configured outside SOHO network. A SOHO network can be a small wired Ethernet LAN or made of both wired and wireless computers.Enterprise networks are located in multiple locations in different continents. These offices of Enterprise networks, in different geographical locations are connected together by different types of Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity solutions. There may be travelling employees and work from home employees who need access to Enterprise networks. The key purpose of an enterprise network is to eliminate isolated users and workgroups. All systems should be able to communicate and provide and retrieve information. Additionally, physical systems and devices should be able to maintain and provide satisfactory performance, reliability and security.
