  • What is Network Topology? Explain the different types of Network Topology with suitable diagrams. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Bus, Ring, Star, Tree, Mesh, and Hybrid Topology.
  • What is a Networking Device? Explain the functions and OSI layers of Hub, Repeater, Bridge, Switch, Router, Modem, Gateway, and Brouter.
  • What is a Repeater? Explain Signal Attenuation and describe how a repeater helps extend the communication distance.
  • What is a Firewall? Explain its purpose and discuss the major types of firewalls, including Packet Filtering, Stateful Inspection, Circuit-Level Gateway, Application Layer, Proxy, NGFW, WAF, UTM, and Host-Based Firewall.
  • Differentiate between a Traditional Firewall and a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) based on packet inspection, application awareness, threat detection, OSI layers, IPS, cost, and performance.
  • What is a Gateway? Explain its functions and discuss how a gateway enables communication between networks using different protocols or architectures.
  • What is an Access Point (AP)? Explain how an access point connects wireless devices to a wired LAN. Mention its functions, advantages, and common applications.
  • A large organization needs a network that is reliable, scalable, and fault-tolerant. Which network topology and networking devices would you recommend? Justify your answer based on cost, redundancy, performance, and network management.
