Lecture 2 - Networking

................... refer to the way in which computers in a network are linked together.

• Network topologies.

• Communication networks

Communication network is defined as a set of devices (nodes) connected by communication links and is used to transfer information between users located at various geographical points.

• True

• False

Each node in the network is connected to the next node forming a closed loop, in .................

• Bus topology

• Ring topology

• Tree topology

• Star topology

..................... is one of the most common network setups where each of the devices and computers on a network connect to a central hub

• Ring topology

• Tree topology

• Star topology

• Bus topology

All nodes are connected to a common transmission medium with two endpoints, in .....................

• Bus topology

• Tree topology

• Star topology

• Ring topology

................... consists of groups of star-configured workstations connected to a linear bus backbone cable.

• Tree topology

• Ring topology

• Hybrid topology

• Star topology

in star topology, entire network shuts down if there is a break in the main cable.

• True

• False

in bus topology, entire network shuts down if there is a break in the main cable.

• True

• False

in star topology, any failure at the central site or hub can cause the entire network to go down.

• True

• False

in star topology, it is easy to detect faults and to remove parts.

• True

• False
