In which of the following layers of OSI model does the X.25 protocol operate?

  1. Physical layer

  2. Data link layer

  3. Network layer

  4. All of these


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The X.25 protocol operate on all the three, i.e. physical, data link and network layers of OSI model.

On which layer does bridge operates?

  1. Data Link Layer

  2. Application Layer

  3. Network Layer

  4. Session Layer


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Data link layer provides a raw transmission facility on a reliable link.It is responsible for moving frames from one node to the next.The following are the responsibilities of data link layer:framing,error control,access control,flow  control and physical addressing. It delivers data on the data link layer by hop-to-hop and a bridge operates on this layer between two adjacent nodes, so this is the correct answer.

Which layer has node-to-node delivery of the data unit is the responsibility?

  1. Physical layer

  2. Data link layer

  3. Transport layer

  4. Network layer


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 Data link layer provides a raw transmission facility on a reliable link.It is responsible for moving frames from one node to the next.The following are the responsibilities of data link layer:framing,error control,access control,flow control and physical addressing. It delivers data on the data link layer by hop-to-hop(node-to-node) and a bridge operates on this layer between two adjacent nodes.it provides node to node delivery of data,so it is the correct answer.

Which layer is the layer closest to the transmission medium?

  1. Physical Layer

  2. Data Link Layer

  3. Network Layer

  4. Transport Layer


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This layer is responsible for movement of individual of bits from one node to the next.Physical layer deals with the mechanical and electrical specifications of the interface and transmission medium.The following are the functions of the 

physical layer:Representation of bits,line configuration,physical topology,physical characteristics of interfaces and medium.this is closest to the transmission medium,so this is the correct answer.

Which form information transforms before execution of transmittion?

  1. Periodic Signals

  2. Electromagnetic signals

  3. Non-periodic signals

  4. Low-frequency sine waves


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

the physical layer moves data in the form of electromagnetic signals across a transmission medium.whether you are collecting numerical statistics from computer,causing a bell to ring at a distant control center,sending animated pictures from a work station, you are working with transmission of data across network connections. this is the correct answer.

Which type of transmission is done between telecommunication?

  1. Half Duplex

  2. Simplex

  3. Full Duplex

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Full Duplex is communication in both directions, at a same time, like in the case of telecommunication, the user and the sender, comminicate with each other at a same time.

Which of the following statements is true?

  1. File transfer is an example of the standard at presentation layer.

  2. For constant signal and noise strength, an increase in data transmission rate increases the error rate.

  3. Asynchronous transmission is far more efficient than synchronous transmission.

  4. The 10BASE5 cabling is popularly known as thin ethernet.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Increase in data transmission rate leads to a higher number of packets, being transmitted at the same time.

Which layer in the OSI model does the duty of 'Encryption and Decryption'?

  1. Transport layer

  2. Application layer

  3. Presentation layer

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Presentation layer does the duty of encryption and decryption.

Which of the following layers is responsible for token management service?

  1. Session layer

  2. Application layer

  3. Presentation layer

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Session layer is responsible for token management service. Tokens are used to identify the side, that may perform the critical operation.

Which of the following devices is operated at the physical layer?

  1. Bridge

  2. Router

  3. Repeater

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Repeater is a device used to regenerate the electric signal, in order to extend the LAN segment beyond its physical limits. It works on the physical layer because of signals.

How can we measure the traffic in telephone network?

  1. DPCM

  2. PSTN

  3. Relative congestion

  4. Erlangs


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Usually traffic is measured in telephone network by erlangs. Erlangs is a measure of transmission, of the telephone network.

The layer SUBNET comprises of

  1. layers 1 and 3

  2. layers 1 and 2

  3. All layers

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above answers are incorrect because subnet usually comprises the Network layer. The Network Layer is known as the communication subnet layer, which controls operations of subnets by determining how packets are to be distributed /routed between the networks (subnets).

The UDP and INTERNET protocol suites are related to

  1. layer 4

  2. layer 2

  3. layer 3

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Layer -4 is a transport layer in which UDP (user datagram protocol ) and IP (internet protocol ) are present. There are five classes of standards for transport layer, which differ in degree of error recovery. 

Which of the following methods is used to indentify the cable breaks?

  1. TDR

  2. Terrestrial link

  3. TDM

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

TDR stands for Time Domain Reflectometry. It is a method for detecting fault and breaks in the cable. TDR measures the time it takes for signal, to travel down the cable and reflect back.

What is the diffrerence between the frame format of CSMA/CD and Ethernet protocol?

  1. FCS

  2. Error control

  3. PAD

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All the above answers are incorrect because frame format of CSMA/CD and Ethernet protocol, differ in size of preamble and address blocks.

Which of the following statements is true?

  1. Signalling bit rate and baud rate are always equal.

  2. Bandwidth limitation causes signal shape distortion.

  3. White noise is a natural noise.

  4. Dynamic allocation of time slot on demand takes place on synchronous one.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Limited bandwidth limits the data rate, and leads to distortion, in the signal shape.

Which of the following layers has the duty for routing data packets from source to destination?

  1. Application layer

  2. Data link layer

  3. Transport layer

  4. Network layer


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Network layer has duty for routing data packets from source to destination.

_____________ is also called as fast bridge.

  1. Switch

  2. Gateway

  3. Repeater

  4. Router


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Switch is also called as fast Bridge. The common forwarding approaches include Cut through, Collision free and Fully buffered.

Which layer addresses are recognized by bridge?

  1. Data link layer

  2. Physical layer

  3. Layer 2

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Bridges are network devices which work on first two layers of OSI model with filtering and forwading capabilities.
