Network Topology Quiz

What is the main purpose of a network topology?

• To monitor network security.

• To define the arrangement of devices in a network.

• To calculate network speeds.

• To manage user accounts.

Which of the following is a feature of a star topology?

• Devices are connected in a ring.

• All devices connect to a central hub or switch.

• Each device is connected to all other devices.

• Data flows in only one direction.

In a bus topology, data is transmitted:

• To all devices on the network.

• Directly between two devices.

• Only to a central device.

• Through a wireless signal.

Which topology provides the highest fault tolerance?

• Bus topology

• Star topology

• Ring topology

• Mesh topology

Which topology connects all devices to a central hub, making it easier to add or remove devices?

• Bus topology

• Star topology

• Ring topology

• Tree topology

What is a key disadvantage of using a ring topology?

• High cabling costs.

• If one device fails, the entire network goes down.

• Difficult to manage.

• Data collisions are common.

Which topology combines multiple types of network topologies?

• Ring topology

• Star topology

• Hybrid topology

• Mesh topology

What does a physical topology describe?

• The data transfer rates in a network.

• The actual layout of devices and cables in a network.

• The type of network protocols used.

• The performance of network devices.

In a mesh topology, how are devices connected?

• In a circular fashion.

• Through a central hub.

• Each device is connected to every other device.

• In a straight line.

Which of the following topologies is most suitable for a large organization that requires fault tolerance and scalability?

• Bus topology

• Ring topology

• Mesh topology

• Star topology
