Question (2):
What is the difference between a Domain (Client - Server) and a Workgroup (peer peer)?


Workgroup or Peer-to-peer networks (P2P): When two or more computers are
connected together to share resources without the use of a central server is termed as a
peer-to-peer network. All computers are peers and no computer has control over
another computer. It is generally used in small companies as they are not expensive.
Domain or Server-based networks: In this type of network, a central server is
located to store the data, applications, etc of the clients. Network admin uses one or
more computer as a server and provide all accesses, security permission to all other
computers in a network
46. Refer to the exhibit. The PC is connected to the console port of the switch. All the
other connections are made through FastEthernet links. Which types of UTP cables can
be used to connect the devices?




1 – rollover, 2 – crossover, 3 – straight-through
1 – rollover, 2 – straight-through, 3 – crossover
1 – crossover, 2 – straight-through, 3 – rollover
1 – crossover, 2 – rollover, 3 – straight-through
Explanation: A straight-through cable is commonly used to interconnect a host to a switch
and a switch to a router. A crossover cable is used to interconnect similar devices together
like switch to a switch, a host to a host, or a router to a router. If a switch has the MDIX
capability, a crossover could be used to connect the switch to the router; however, that option
is not available. A rollover cable is used to connect to a router or switch console port.
