Network Topology

What is the main characteristic of a star topology?

• All devices connect to a central hub
• Devices connect in a loop
• Each device connects to every other device
• No central connection

In which topology does each device connect to every other device directly?

• Ring
• Mesh
• Star
• Bus

Which topology is easiest to install and manage?

• Bus
• Star
• Mesh
• Hybrid

What is a disadvantage of a bus topology?

• Scalability issues
• High installation cost
• Complex management
• Easy to troubleshoot

In a ring topology, what happens if one device fails?

• The network continues to function
• Only that device is affected
• The whole network goes down
• Data flows in both directions

Which topology typically requires more cable than others?

• Star
• Bus
• Mesh
• Ring

What topology uses a central cable (the bus) to which all nodes connect?

• Star
• Ring
• Bus
• Mesh

Which topology is the most robust and provides the highest fault tolerance?

• Mesh
• Star
• Bus
• Ring

What type of topology is characterized by nodes arranged in a closed loop?

• Bus
• Star
• Ring
• Tree

In which topology does data travel in one direction only?

• Star
• Ring
• Mesh
• Bus
