Quiz on Topologies and Ethernet Standards

What does network topology define?

• The speed of data transmission

• The software applications in use

• The structure of the network

• The type of devices used

Which topology connects all devices to a central cable?

• Star Topology

• Ring Topology

• Bus Topology

• Mesh Topology

What is a disadvantage of Ring Topology?

• A break in the ring can disable the entire network

• Fault isolation is simplified

• Easy to install and reconfigure

• Each device has a point-to-point connection

In Star Topology, how do nodes communicate?

• Using a bus cable

• Directly with each other

• Through a central hub

• In a closed loop

What is a key advantage of Mesh Topology?

• Robustness against link failure

• Easy installation

• Requires less cabling

• Unidirectional traffic

What does the '100' in '100BaseT' signify?

• The number of devices supported

• The type of cabling used

• The maximum distance of transmission

• The standard data transmission speed in Mbps

Which topology allows for more devices to be attached to a single hub?

• Bus Topology

• Ring Topology

• Star Topology

• Tree/Hierarchical Topology

What is a disadvantage of Mesh Topology?

• Easy fault identification

• Requires a large amount of cabling

• High robustness

• Dedicated links for each connection

Which organization defines Ethernet standards?

• W3C

• IETF

• IEEE

• ISO

What does 'Base' in '100BaseT' refer to?

• The distance of transmission

• The type of transmission technology

• The type of cabling used

• The maximum number of devices
