Networking Interview Questions and Answers
Question - 61 : - What are the five major technologies that can be used to create Client/Server applications?
Answer - 61 : - Database Servers
TP Monitors
Groupware
Distributed Objects
Intranets.
Question - 62 : - What is Client/Server?
Answer - 62 : - Clients and Servers are separate logical entities that work together over a network to accomplish a task. Many systems with very different architectures that are connected together are also called Client/Server.
Question - 63 : - What are the services provided by the Operating System?
Answer - 63 : - Extended services - These are add-on modular software components that are layered on top of base service.
Question - 64 : - What is ACID property?
Answer - 64 : - ACID is a term coined by Andrew Reuter in 1983, which stands for Atomicity, Consistence, Isolation and Durability.
Question - 65 : - What are Stored procedures?
Answer - 65 : - A stored procedure i s named collection of SQL statements and procedural logic that is compiled, verified and stored in a server database. It is typically treated like any other database object. Stored procedures accept input parameters so that a single procedure can be used over the network by multiple clients using different input data. A single remote message triggers the execution of a collection of stored SQL statements. The results is a reduction of network traffic and better performance.
Question - 66 : - What is passive topology?
Answer - 66 : - When the computers on the network simply listen and receive the signal, they are referred to as passive because they don’t amplify the signal in any way.
Example for passive topology - linear bus.
Question - 67 : - What is virtual channel?
Answer - 67 : - Virtual channel is normally a connection from one source to one destination, although multicast connections are also permitted. The other name for virtual channel is virtual circuit.
Question - 68 : - Difference between the communication and transmission?
Answer - 68 : - Transmission is a physical movement of information and concern issues like bit polarity, synchronization, clock etc.
Communication means the meaning full exchange of information between two communication media.
Question - 69 : - What is the difference between TFTP and FTP application layer protocols?
Answer - 69 : - The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) allows a local host to obtain files from a remote host but does not provide reliability or security. It uses the fundamental packet delivery services offered by UDP.
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the standard mechanism provided by TCP / IP for copying a file from one host to another. It uses the services offered by TCP and so is reliable and secure. It establishes two connections (virtual circuits) between the hosts, one for data transfer and another for control information.
Question - 70 : - What are the advantages and disadvantages of the three types of routing tables?
Answer - 70 : - The three types of routing tables are fixed, dynamic, and fixed central. The fixed table must be manually modified every time there is a change. A dynamic table changes its information based on network traffic, reducing the amount of manual maintenance. A fixed central table lets a manager modify only one table, which is then read by other devices. The fixed central table reduces the need to update each machine's table, as with the fixed table. Usually a dynamic table causes the fewest problems for a network administrator, although the table's contents can change without the administrator being aware of the change.
