Which network topology connects all devices to a single central hub, but does not directly connect any devices to each other?

• Bus topology

• Star topology

• Ring topology

• Mesh topology

In a ring topology, how is data transmitted between devices?

• Data is sent in a straight line from one device to the next until it reaches its destination

• Data is broadcast to all devices simultaneously

• Data travels in a circular direction, either clockwise or counter clockwise, from one device to the next

• Data is transmitted through a central hub

Why might a bus topology be less reliable in a large network compared to other topologies?

• It requires more cabling than other topologies

• A failure in the main cable can disrupt the entire network

• It is more expensive to implement

• It provides better data security

What is the primary advantage of using a mesh topology in a network?

• It requires the least amount of cabling

• It offers high redundancy, as each device is connected to every other device

• It is the simplest to install and configure

• It uses a central hub to control traffic

Which topology is most likely to be used in a high-reliability environment where network downtime is not acceptable?

• Bus topology

• Mesh topology

• Star topology

• Ring topology
