Question #1
Which IP address range indicates a Class A network identity under traditional routing rules?
A. 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
B. 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
C. 1.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255
D. 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Class A IP addresses utilize the first octet range from 1 to 126 (excluding 127 which is reserved for loopback diagnostics).

Question #2
Which device uses a bridge layer to segment a local network into independent collision domains for each physical port while maintaining a single shared broadcast domain?
A. Layer 1 Hub
B. Analog Modem
C. Layer 2 Switch
D. Layer 3 Router

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A switch separates each port into its own dedicated collision domain, preventing collisions while passing broadcast traffic to all ports.

Question #3
What happens if a single computer loses power or its connection cable breaks in a standard unidirectional Ring Network configuration?
A. The network splits into two fully operational sub-rings.
B. Data frames loop back through the gateway interface.
C. The entire network communication path is broken, stopping traffic across the ring.
D. The remaining devices shift to a bus topology configuration automatically.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Because data travels sequentially from node to node around a ring topology, any break in the link disrupts the circuit and stops all network traffic.
