Network Topologies

What is a network

• A stand alone computer

• Two or more interconnected computers

• A computer without a server

Which one is a BUS topology

• 
• 
• 

Which one is a RING topology

• 
• 
• 

Which one is a STAR topology

• 
• 
• 

A star topology will cause a network failure if...

• If the hub/switch fails

• If one of the many of the computers fail

• If the printer fails

In a star network

• Each device is connected to a switch or hub
• Each device connects to each other
• Each device is connected in a line
• Each device is connected to a terminal

What term describes the physical layout of a network?

• Topology
• topping
• topiology
• toppology

What is a mesh topology

• looks like a star

• all devices are interconnected

• Use this when making fences

What happens if any connection is broken within the ring topology?

• data will change routes and go the other wa

• It skips the broken device

• The whole network is affected and problems occur

• Nothing happens

What are the 3 main network topologies?

• BUS, RING, & STAR

• BUS, STAR, & LAN

• LAN, MAN, & WAN

• MESH is the only one we need
