Network Topology Quiz2

Which characteristic is true for ring topology?

• Each device is connected to a central hub.

• Data travels in one direction around the ring.

• It is the most cost-effective topology.

• It can easily handle a large number of devices.

What is one advantage of using star topology in a network?

• It is easy to add new devices without disrupting the network.

• It requires less cable than other topologies.

• All devices are connected in a single line.

• It is the most cost-effective topology.

In a bus topology, what happens if the main cable fails?

• Only one device will be affected.

• The entire network will go down.

• The network will continue to function normally.

• Only the devices at the ends will be affected.

If you were to propose an alternative solution to improve the reliability of a bus topology, what would it be?

• Use a star topology instead.

• Increase the length of the bus cable.

• Connect all devices directly to each other.

• Use a ring topology.

What is a key disadvantage of ring topology?

• It is difficult to troubleshoot.

• It requires more cable than star topology.

• It is less reliable than bus topology.

• It allows for easy addition of devices.

If you were to design a network for a small office, which topology would you choose for its advantages?

• Bus topology for its simplicity.

• Ring topology for its speed.

• Star topology for its reliability and ease of adding devices.

• Mesh topology for its redundancy.

What is a characteristic of star topology that makes it preferable for many networks?

• It requires less maintenance than other topologies.

• It allows for easy isolation of devices.

• It is the cheapest option available.

• It connects all devices in a single line.

Which of the following is a disadvantage of bus topology?

• It is easy to set up and requires less cable.

• A failure in the main cable can bring down the entire network.

• It allows for easy addition of new devices.

• It provides high performance for large networks.

How does star topology enhance network reliability?

• By connecting all devices in a single line.

• By allowing each device to communicate directly with the central hub.

• By using a single cable for all connections.

• By ensuring that all devices are dependent on each other.

Which of the following best describes the data transmission method in a bus topology?

• Data is sent in both directions simultaneously.

• Data is sent in one direction only.

• Data is sent to all devices at once.

• Data is sent from device to device until it reaches the destination.
