100
What is a LAN?
(Heal or critical!)
A Local Area Network, which connects computers within a single geographic area using Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
100
Name a device that routes data between networks.
A router.
100
What is 1000BASE-T?
Gigabit Ethernet over copper twisted pair cabling.
100
What is Wi-Fi’s IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) standard number?
IEEE 802.11.
100
Which network type covers an entire city?
(Heal or critical!)
A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN).
200
Define WAN.
A Wide Area Network, connecting multiple locations over a large geographic area using leased lines from ISPs.
200
What is a switch and what does it use to forward data?
(Heal or Critical!)
A device that connects devices in a LAN and forwards data based on MAC addresses.
200
Name one advantage of fiber optic cabling.
Immune to electromagnetic interference or high speeds over long distances.
200
What area network would bluetooth headphones belong to?
(Heal or Critical!)
PAN
200
What is the function of a patch panel?
Organizes and connects incoming and outgoing LAN cables.
300
What is a MAN?
A Metropolitan Area Network, covering a city or municipality.
300
What is an access point?
(Navigator will let you locate all NPCs, Heals, or Criticals!)
A device that enables wireless devices to connect to a wired network using Wi-Fi.
300
What is the main difference between single-mode and multi-mode fiber?
(Happy merchant will improve the shop or trade items at 2-for-1!)
Single-mode supports long distances with less signal loss; multi-mode is for shorter distances and has more dispersion.
300
What is the difference between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?
(Portomancer appears! Will give you a shield on correct!)
Wi-Fi connects devices over a local network with higher speeds; Bluetooth connects devices over short distances with lower speeds.
300
Name two key benefits of fiber optic cabling.
(Loot roll!)
High speeds and immunity to interference.
400
Explain a SAN
A dedicated high-speed network that connects servers to storage devices, using block-level data transfer.
400
Explain a firewall’s function.
It monitors and filters network traffic based on security rules.
400
Name a standard connector type for copper cabling.
(Loot roll!)
RJ-45.
400
Name one IoT standard other than Bluetooth
(Loot roll!)
Zigbee, Thread, or Z-Wave.
400
Which devices typically have MAC addresses?
Network interface cards (NICs) in computers, phones, switches, and routers.
500
What is a PAN?
A Personal Area Network, connecting devices like smartwatches and earbuds via Bluetooth.
500
What is the difference between a SOHO router and an enterprise setup?
A SOHO router combines multiple functions (routing, switching, Wi-Fi, firewall) in one device, while an enterprise setup uses separate devices for each function to support more users and reliability.
500
What is the difference between Cat5e and Cat6?
Cat5e supports 1 Gbps, while Cat6 supports up to 10 Gbps with better shielding.
500
What is this and how does it connect devices to the network?
By bridging wireless devices to the wired network using Wi-Fi signals.
500
What is the purpose of a datacenter?
To house servers and provide secure, high-speed, reliable services for businesses.
