  • Q5
    How does the format of IPv6 addresses differ from that of IPv4 addresses?
    IPv6 addresses are represented using hexadecimal numbers and colons, while IPv4 addresses use decimal numbers separated by dots.
    IPv4 addresses contain more sections than IPv6 addresses.
    IPv6 addresses only use binary numbers.
    IPv4 addresses are longer in character count than IPv6 addresses.

  • Q6
    What distinguishes a static IP address from a dynamic IP address?
    A static IP address is only used for local networks, while a dynamic IP is used for the internet.
    A static IP address remains constant, while a dynamic IP address can change periodically.
    A static IP address is slower than a dynamic IP address.
    Both static and dynamic IP addresses are permanently assigned and never change.

  • Q7
    Which of the following best describes the process of converting an IPv4 address to an IPv6 address?
    It simply involves appending additional numbers to the IPv4 address.
    It is unnecessary since both formats serve the same purpose.
    It requires changing the address from hexadecimal to decimal format.
    It involves transitioning from a 32-bit address format to a 128-bit format.

    To secure data transmission.
    To uniquely identify a device on a network.
    To convert signals into data.
    To provide a physical connection between devices.

  • Q9
    What role do routers play in networking?
    Routers only serve as wireless access points.
    Routers connect devices within a local area network.
    Routers forward data packets between different networks.
    Routers increase the speed of data transmission within a network.

  • Q10
    Which of the following statements accurately describes a MAC address?
    A MAC address is a temporary address assigned to devices by a DHCP server.
    A MAC address is the same as an IP address.
    A MAC address is used only for internet communications.
    A MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communications on a physical network.

  • Q11
    What is the purpose of a MAC address in networking?
    To encrypt data being sent over the network.
    To assign a dynamic IP address to a device.
    To establish a connection between a computer and the internet.
    To uniquely identify a network interface card (NIC) on a local network.

  • Q12
    Which statement correctly describes the difference between IPv4 and IPv6 addressing formats?
    IPv4 uses 128 bits for its addresses, while IPv6 uses 32 bits.
    Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses use the same format for representing host and network portions.
    IPv4 addresses are in decimal format, while IPv6 addresses are in hexadecimal format.
    IPv4 addresses are always dynamic, whereas IPv6 addresses are always static.

  • Q13
    How does a router differ from a switch in a computer network?
    A router operates only on the physical layer, while a switch operates on the network layer.
    A switch assigns IP addresses, while a router uses MAC addresses exclusively.
    A switch routes data between different networks, whereas a router only connects devices locally.
    A router connects different networks, while a switch connects devices within the same network.
