A computer attached to a given network can only communicate with
other computers attached to the same network. Is this a problem with
multiple networks?
► True
► False
The chief problem with multiple networks is obvious:
A computer attached to a given network can only communicate with other computers attached to the same network

Each network in the organization formed an island
Question No: 24( M a r k s: 1 ) http://vuzs.net
In the 1970s large organizations began to acquire multiple
