5.3 U het die taak gekry om 'n LAN-subnet op te stel. Ongelukkig, as gevolg van sekere logistieke
probleme, het een van die toestelle wat aan hierdie subnet gekoppel moet word, 'n statiese IP-adres
wat nie verander kan word nie. Hierdie IP-adres is 188.12.18.11. Die netwerk moet genoeg adresse
hê vir 845 toestelle. Hierdie netwerk is nuut genoeg sodat al die toestelle klaslose adresse kan hê.
Oorweeg hierdie inligting en bepaal die volgende:

 Subnet masker;
 Netwerkadres;
 Uitsaaiadres;
 Kleinste toesteladres; en
 Grootste toesteladres.

You have been assigned the task to set up a LAN subnet. Unfortunately, due to certain logistical
problems, one of the devices that has to be connected to this subnet has a static IP address that
cannot be changed. This IP address is 188.12.18.11. The network has to have enough addresses for
845 devices. This network is new enough that all of the devices can have classless addresses.
Considering this information, determine the:

 Subnet mask;
 Network address;
 Broadcast address;
 Smallest device address; and
 Largest device address. (5)

Network address: . . .

Broadcast address: . . .

Smallest device address: . . .

Largest device address: . . .

5.4 Dit is 'n geruime tyd sedert die opstel van die subnet, en een van die netwerktoestelle het gebreek.
Die enigste plaasvervanger-toestel is te oud vir klaslose adressering. Al die toestelle in die subnet
moet dus nou klasvolle adresse gebruik. Bepaal 'n klasvolle subnetmasker en klasvolle IP-adresse
vir die netwerk wat die adres 188.12.18.11 bevat. Die netwerk benodig nou adresse vir slegs 713
toestelle.

It has been some time since the subnet has been set up, and one of the network devices has failed.
The only substitute device is too old for classless addressing. All of the devices in the subnet therefore
now have to use classful addresses. Determine a classful subnet mask and classful IP addresses
for the network that contains the address 188.12.18.11. The network now needs addresses for only
713 devices. (5)

Vraag 6: Die transportlaag / Question 6: The Transport Layer [10]

Beskou die volgende scenario:

U het onlangs by die sagteware-ontwikkelingspan van 'n indie speletjieontwikkelingsmaatskappy aangesluit.

U is toegewys aan 'n projek wat die ontwikkeling van 'n pasgemaakte speletjienjin vir 'n intydse strategie-
speletjie bevat. U is toegewys aan die span wat die netwerkkomponent vir die speletjienjin moet ontwikkel.

CMPG315: Paper No./Vraestel Nr. 1 | Exam 1st opp | /Full-time/UODL/ 11/16

Consider the following scenario:

You have recently joined the software development team of an indie game development company. You
have been assigned to a project that features the development of a custom gaming engine for a real-time
strategy game. You have been assigned to the team that has to develop the network component for the
game engine.

6.1 U span oorweeg dit om een van twee transportprotokolle te gebruik, maar dit lyk asof daar verwarring
is. Vergelyk hierdie twee protokolle met mekaar met behulp van 'n tabel.

Your team is considering using one of two transport protocols, but there seems to be some confusion
surrounding them. Compare these two protocols with one another using a table. (8)

6.2 Die span moet 'n transportprotokol kies om te gebruik. Stel 'n geskikte protokol voor om in hierdie
situasie te gebruik en motiveer u antwoord.

The team has to select a transport protocol to use. Propose a suitable protocol to use in this situation
and motivate your answer. (2)

Vraag 7: Die toepassingslaag / Question 7: The Application Layer [21]

7.1 Gebruik 'n diagram om die proses te beskryf wat gebruik word om 'n webblad te besoek. Dui aan
watter transportprotokolle by elke stap gebruik word. Neem aan dat die toestel pas aan die netwerk
gekoppel is en nog nie 'n IP-adres het nie.

Use a diagram to describe the process used to visit a web page. Indicate which transport protocols are
used at each step. Assume that the device has just been connected to the network, and does not yet
have an IP address. (8)

CMPG315: Paper No./Vraestel Nr. 1 | Exam 1st opp | /Full-time/UODL/ 13/16

Beskou die volgende scenario:

U is genader om 'n maatskappy se e-posdiens op te stel. Die maatskappy hanteer vertroulike inligting en het
daarop aangedring dat hulle hul eie e-posbediener moet hê.

Consider the following scenario:

You have been approached to set up a company’s email service. The company deals with confidential
information and has insisted that they have their own email server.

7.2 Vergelyk vier e-posprotokolle met behulp van 'n tabel.

Compare four email protocols using a table. (8)

7.3 Maak 'n voorstel rakende die e-posprotokol wat die maatskappy moet gebruik (1). Motiveer u
antwoord (2) en steun u motivering deur 'n scenario te gebruik om te beskryf hoe die stelsel sou werk
(2). Toon duidelik aan hoe die onderneming se behoeftes in hierdie scenario hanteer sal word.

Make a suggestion regarding the email protocol the company should use (1). Motivate your answer (2)
and substantiate your motivation by using a scenario to describe how the system would work (2).
Clearly indicate how the company’s needs will be addressed in this scenario. (5)
