Congestion, Signal Strength, Node Availability

Signal Strength, Distance, Cost

What happens if one node fails or becomes unavailable in a mesh network?

The network dynamically reroutes data through alternative paths

The network switches to a backup node

Why do nodes act as routers on a mesh network?

In a star network, how are nodes connected to the central device?

Through a point-to-point connection

What type of connection does each node have to the central switch in a star network?

Direct connection to every other node

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a switch in a star network?

Directly connects nodes to each other

Why do star networks use switches as the central hub?

Switches are specifically designed to handle the communication between devices in a network

Switches are cheaper than routers

Switches are faster than other devices

What is one advantage of using a star network topology?

It’s easy to install because they just needed to be connected to a central switch.

It requires more cabling and hardware.

It’s limited because cables have a maximum length.

Data must pass through the central switch, causing delay.

What is one disadvantage of using a star network topology?

If the switch fails then the entire network is not accessible.

Faults can be isolated which makes it easier to troubleshoot.

It’s easy to add and remove devices to and from the network.

It’s easier to manage because the switch is in a centralized location.

Which of the following is a benefit of a star network topology in terms of performance?

Better performance as each device has a dedicated link to the switch.

Data must pass through the central switch, causing delay.

It’s limited because cables have a maximum length.

They require more cabling and hardware that adds to the costs.

Why is a star network topology considered more reliable?

If one device fails, the rest of the network remains unaffected.

It’s limited because cables have a maximum length.

Data must pass through the central switch, causing delay.

They require more cabling and hardware that adds to the costs.

What is a disadvantage of a star network topology as the network grows?

As the network grows, it can become more difficult to manage and troubleshoot.

It’s easier to manage because the switch is in a centralized location.

It’s easy to add and remove devices to and from the network.

Better performance as each device has a dedicated link to the switch.

Which of the following is an advantage of a ring network topology?

Data travels in a single direction, so there are no collisions or packet loss.

Data travels in multiple directions, causing collisions.

It is difficult to identify the exact location of an issue.

Ring networks have limited scalability.

What happens if one link in a ring network breaks?

Data can still travel in the opposite direction around the ring.

It is impossible to add new devices.

Which of the following is a disadvantage of a ring network topology?

Limited scalability as the network can become congested.

Better performance than bus networks.

Why might ring networks be considered expensive to implement and maintain?

They require specialized hardware such as network interface cards and repeaters.

They are easy to install and expand.

They offer better performance than bus networks.

Data travels in a single direction.

Which of the following is an advantage of using a bus network topology?

A bus network is relatively inexpensive to install and maintain.

The scalability of a bus network is limited.

The bus cable is a single point of failure.

Identifying issues in a bus network can be challenging.

What is a disadvantage of using a bus network topology?

The network can become congested as more devices are added.

It is easy to understand and implement.

It provides high-speed communication between devices.

Adding new devices is straightforward.

Why is a bus network considered to have a single point of failure?

Because all devices are connected to a single cable.

Because it is easy to install and maintain.

Because it provides high-speed communication.

Which of the following is a security concern in a bus network topology?

Easy for an attacker to tap into the network and intercept data.

Difficulty in adding new devices.

High-speed communication between devices.

What makes identifying issues in a bus network challenging?

The single point of failure in the bus cable.

The ease of adding new devices.
