Network Topologies Quiz

What is a topology in the context of network structures?

• A. A mathematical concept used to describe shapes and spaces

• B. The physical layout of a network's hardware and media

• C. A type of computer virus that affects network connections

• D. The study of geographical terrains and landscapes

What does network topology refer to in computer networks?

• The physical location of the network's hardware

• The layout or arrangement of devices (nodes) connected in a computer network

• The speed at which the network operates

• The type of cables used in the network

• Bus

• Ring

• Star

• Mesh

In which topology do devices connect with exactly two neighbouring devices to form a closed loop?

• Bus

• Ring

• Star

• Mesh

What does the bus network topology get its name from?

• The shape of a bus

• A bus journey

• The terminators used in the network

• The data flow direction

What are the terminators in a bus network topology?

• Devices that connect to the network

• The main cable

• The start and end points of the network

• The nodes that connect to the network

How does data travel in a bus network topology?

• Only from start to end

• Only from end to start

• In one direction only

• Both ways in the network

What are nodes in a bus network topology?

• The main cable that connects the network

• The terminators at the ends of the network

• Devices that connect to the network

• The data packets traveling through the network

What happens to the network speed as more nodes are connected in a bus network topology?

• The network speed increases.

• The network speed remains the same.

• The network speed decreases.

• The network speed fluctuates unpredictably.
