210 Computer Networks Questions And Answers

184⟩ What is ost file?

In Microsoft Office Outlook 2003, a new offline folder file format is introduced that offers greater storage capacity for items and folders and supports multilingual Unicode data. An offline file folder is used to keep a local copy of your Exchange Server mailbox on your computer. The items in your .ost file are synchronized with the server when a connection is available.Steps for offline file folder:-1. On the File menu, click Work Offline. 2. Select or clear the Prompt me at startup so I may choose to work offline or online check box, and then click OK. If you clear the check box, Outlook will automatically start offline if a connection to the server is not available.3. Click Yes to copy the data from the server to your new Offline Folder file (.ost).

185⟩ Explain what is Printer driver replication and mapping?

Printer driver replication means if you have a network printer and if you want to share it among other Citrix servers, then we can replicate that driver to be used by all the Citrix servers or for few selected Citrix servers, however that driver should be installed in the Citrix server from which we are replicating the driver.

Printer mapping relates to mapping the driver software for specific domain users only, these can be dont by right clicking on the driver or by the printer option on the left plane of Citrix presentation server console.

186⟩ Do you know what is difference between baseband and broadband transmission?

Baseband Signalling:

1)Uses digital signalling

2)No frequency-division multiplexing

3)Bi-directional transmission

4)Signal travels over short distances

Broadband Signalling:

1)Uses analog signalling

2)Unidirectional transmission

3)Frequency-division multiplexing is possible

4)Signal can travel over long distances before being attenuated

187⟩ What is port address in Computer Networks?

A port number is a way to identify a specific process to which an Internet or other network message is to be forwarded when it arrives at a server. For the Transmission Control Protocol and the User Datagram Protocol, a port number is a 16-bit integer that is put in the header appended to a message unit. This port number is passed logically between client and server transport layers and physically between the transport layer and the Internet Protocol layer and forwarded on.

188⟩ What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of DHCP?

Advantages All the IP configuration information gets automatically configured for your client machine by the DHCP server. If you move your client machine to a different subnet, the client will send out its discover message at boot time and work as usual. However, when you first boot up there you will not be able to get back the IP address you had at your previous location regardless of how little time has passed. Disadvantage Your machine name does not change when you get a new IP address. The DNS (Domain Name System) name is associated with your IP address and therefore does change. This only presents a problem if other clients try to access your machine by its DNS name.

189⟩ What is the difference between physical address and logical address?

Logical address of yhe any nic card is ip address of the sysytem.in any copmany lan or wan environment for machine to mechine communication each and every mechine required one nomber.thats why ina peoples desizned and interduces one good technologie is ip addressing system.phisical address of any copmany nic card is also known as a mac address {media accec controler address} mac address mediater bitween cable and mechine. it means mac address main function is transfer the data cable laguage to mechine language anad mechine language to cable language.its a 48 bit address

190⟩ What is the default subnet mask for IPV6?

There are 3 address types in v6 - Unicast, anycast, and multicast. Unicast addresses identify a single network device, anycast and multicast addresses identify a group of network devices. IPv6 addresses are 128 bit, compared to the 32 bit addresses of v4 and look like this example - 2001:0db8:85a3:08d3:1319:8a2e: 0370:7348Ipv6 does not use subnetting.

191⟩ Explain in detail about the working of SWITCH in Networking?

Switch is a data link layer device that connect multiple LAN segments to form

a single network segment. In switch when we transmit the data first it examine

the data packets for source and destination, then the switch forward the data

packet to the appropriate destination.

Switch minimize the possibility of collision of data packets by reducing

collision domains.

Collision domain are the network segment between two network devices, when

the two devices transmit a data at a time then collision will occur. In such

case both the device stop working. Then it starts to work for a specific period

of time and retransmit the data.

Switches reduces the collision using micro-segmentation.

192⟩ What is Active Directory in Computer Networks?

Active Directory is a directory service. The term directory service refers to two things — a directory where information about users and resources is stored and a service or services that let you access and manipulate those resources. Active Directory is a way to manage all elements of your network, including computers, groups, users, domains, security policies, and any type of user-defined objects. It melds several NT services and tools that have functioned separately so far — User Manager for Domains, Server Manager, Domain Name Server — and provides additional functions beyond these services and tools. Active Directory is built around Domain Name System (DNS) and lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) — DNS because it is the standard on the Internet and is familiar, LDAP because most vendors support it. Active Directory clients use DNS and LDAP to locate and access any type of resource on the network. Because these are platform-independent protocols, Unix, Macintosh, and other clients can access resources in the same fashion as Windows clients.

195⟩ What is the size of ping to death packet?

A ping is normally 64 bytes in size.Many computers can not handle larger than the maximum ip packet size, which is 65,535bytes. Sending a ping of this size can crash the target computer.

196⟩ What is the difference between simplex and duplex?

simplex- one way transmission.only transmission will takes place here.

duplex- two way transmission.

Both transmission and reception takes place.

2 types of duplex:

1)Half duplex

2)Full duplex

Half duplex:-

both transmission and reception takes place,bt nt at d same time.single channel is used .

Full duplex:-

both txn and recep...takes place simultaneously using 2 different channels. one for txn and other 4 reception.

197⟩ Explain what is the routed protocols & routing protocols?

A routing protocol is used by router to dynamically find all the networks in the internetwork and to ensure that all routers have the same routing table. Basically routing protocol determines the path of a packet through an internetwork. (eg. RIP, RIPv2, EIGRP and OSPF).A routed protocol can be used to send user data through the established enterprise, when routers know about all networks. Routed protocols are assigned to an interface and determine the method of packet delivery. (eg. IP, IPv6)

198⟩ What you will do, if you computer boots to the black screen?

1) Check cable between computer and monitor, as well as power to monitor.

2) Boot into safemode - Check status of driver, and run diagnostic on video card. - if no video try putting in a new video card and restart with step 2

3) Restore to previous bootable configuration

4) Re-install OS

199⟩ Explain about Scan Disk? How scan disk fixes errors?

Scandisk is Windows' general-purpose hard drive diagnostic utility. It will find and fix any data errors present on the drive. A "standard" scan checks for any data errors on the drive. A "thorough" scan checks for any data errors on the drive and tests the hard drive for any physical errors. Defrag is Windows' utility for organizing the data structure on the hard drive. Through normal use, the data present on the hard drive becomes scattered across the data area.
