3. What are the types of Lan cable- Cat5 and Cat5e 100m 100 mb to 1000 mb- Cat6 and Cat6e 100m 1000 mb = 1 GB to 10 Gb5. Different between Bits and Bytes:A bit (short for "binary digit") is the smallest unit of measurement used to quantify computer data. It contains a single binary value of 0 or 1.A byte is a unit of measurement used to measure data. One byte contains eight binary bits, or a series of eight zeros and ones. Therefore, each byte can be used to represent 2^8 or 256 different values.5. Measurement of speed network Megabyte/second = Mb/sRadius : Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) is a networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) management for users who connect and use a network service.DNS:Short for Domain Name System (or Service or Server), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses.

For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4.DHCP:Short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.Default workgroup name for a computer running Windows XP professional?The default workgroup after installation is MSHOME in Windows XP Home, but WORKGROUP in Windows XP Pro (and newer releases such as Vista).SSL =Secure Socket LayerThe difference between desktop support and helpdesk are the following:
