https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=protocol-tcpip-addressing
Answer:
The Internet Protocol (IP) addressing scheme provides a unique

identification system for devices connected to the network, allowing them to
communicate and exchange data with each other as a fundamental
component of the internet and computer networks. The IP addressing
scheme architecture is based on two main versions: IPv4 (Internet Protocol
version 4) and IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6).
A.3 Discuss Network topology ? Why is network topology important ? What’s the

A.5 Briefly discuss Open System Interconnection (OSI) layers of networking

(150-200 Words)
Learning resources:
Answer:
Physical Layer (Layer 1):The Physical Layer deals with the physical
connection and transmission of data over the network medium.

Physical Layer.
Network Layer (Layer 3):The Network Layer is responsible for routing data
packets between different networks to reach their destination.
Transport Layer (Layer 4):The Transport Layer ensures reliable and end-to-

Network

end data delivery between two hosts on the network.
Session Layer (Layer 5):The Session Layer establishes, maintains, and

terminates communication sessions between applications on different
devices.
Presentation Layer (Layer 6):The Presentation Layer is responsible for data

format translation, encryption, and compression.
Application Layer (Layer 7):The Application Layer is the topmost layer and
interacts directly with end-user applications.
A.6 How does transmission control protocol works ? Briefly discuss the layers of
TCP/IP models (100-150 Words)
Learning resources:
https://www.fortinet.com/resources/cyberglossary/tcpip#:~:text=What%20is

A8. What is the purpose of WAN connection? How does a WAN works? (100 - 150
Words)
Learning resources:
https://aws.amazon.com/what is/wan/#:~:text=A%20wide%2Darea%20network
%20(WAN,area%2C%20or%20even%20the%20world.
Answer:
The purpose of a (WAN) connection is to interconnect devices from multiple

locations over long distances. WANs are either point-to-point, with a direct
connection between two sites, or packet-switched, with data transmitted in
packets over shared circuits. Point-to-point WAN service can use either analog
dial-up lines or modems to connect the computer to the phone line. Local
telephone companies and long-distance carriers are both point-to-point WAN
service providers.Packet-switched network services are typically chosen by
organizations with low data volumes or multiple sites for which multiple
dedicated lines would be prohibitively expensive.
A9. Research and list some hardware and software tools that can be used to
troubleshoot network issues.
Learning resources:
https://aws.amazon.com/what is/wan/#:~:text=A%20wide%2Darea%20network
%20(WAN,area%2C%20or%20even%20the%20world.
Answer:
Some common hardware tools used for network troubleshooting are network
cable tester, loopback plug, ethernet cable crimper, network tap (test access
point), multimeter, wireless signal analyser. To troubleshoot network issues
effectively, network administrators and IT professionals use a combination of
software tools such as network protocol analyzer, ip scanner, port scanner,
command-line network diagnostics, ping, traceroute.
A10.Briefly discuss commandline, GUI, Operating System (OS) (80-100 words)

Learning resources:
Learning resources: lecture notes on Moodle.

Network

Answer:
Command Line is a text-based method of interacting with a computer's

operating system. Users input commands in the form of text strings, in
which operating system responds.
GUI is a visual way of interacting with a computer system through icons,
buttons, windows, and menus.
An Operating System is a software that manages computer hardware and
provides essential services for computer programs.It handles tasks like
memory management, process scheduling, file system management, and
device drivers.
