TRUE/FALSE

1. It is easier to grow a legacy 10Base2 traditional bus network than a legacy 10BaseT star-based network.

ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 500

2. Once a network has been set up, you don’t need to analyze the LAN topology and resources anymore.

ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 501

3. When installing cable, do not leave much extra at the endpoints, or it can get tangled and cause network errors.

ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 505

4. Structured wiring requires that intelligence is built into the chassis hubs or switches.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 506

5. Jamming can be used in either full- or half-duplex mode.

ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 510

6. Modern networks employ both switches and hubs.

ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 511

7. An RFP, if it is necessary, comes after an RFI.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 511

8. Interspersing hosts and servers throughout the network typically makes centralized management of hosts and servers more difficult.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 520

9. WAN vendor equipment ranges from banks of dial-up modems to a combination of channel banks and router interfaces.

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 531

MODIFIED TRUE/FALSE

1. When you upgrade a network, obtain benchmarks of current network use and consider the traffic from specific devices. _________________________

2. The elevated cable is the vertical cable that goes between floors in a building. _________________________

ANS: F, riser

PTS: 1 REF: 502

3. When installing a network, install 802.11 wireless options in areas where cable is too expensive to install or where the installation obstacles are too great. _________________________

ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 505

4. A(n) top-down network is a design theme where the network is centralized at strategic points. _________________________

ANS: F, structured
