Quiz-Network Topology

What is the difference between logical topology and physical topology?

• Logical topology is how devices are actually interconnected, while physical topology is how they appear connected to the user.

• Logical topology is how devices are connected to a server, while physical topology is how they are connected to a switch.

• Logical topology is how devices are connected to the internet, while physical topology is how they are connected to each other.

• Logical topology is how devices appear connected to the user, while physical topology is how they are actually interconnected with wires and cables.

Which type of topology uses a common backbone to connect all devices?

• Ring topology

• Star topology

• Tree topology

• Bus topology

In which direction do all messages travel in a ring topology?

• Counterclockwise

What is a full mesh network?

• A network where devices are connected in a straight line

• A network where devices are connected in a circular manner

• A network where every device connects to every other device

Why is topology important in network design theory?

• It helps in understanding the difference between a printer and a scanner

• It helps in understanding the difference between a laptop and a desktop

• It helps in understanding important networking concepts like hubs, broadcasts, and routes

• It helps in understanding the difference between a modem and a router
