Network Topology

In a bus network, how are all devices connected?

• To a central switch or server
• Directly or indirectly to one another
• In a ring
• To a backbone cable

What is a pro of a ring network?

• If a device fails, the rest of the network is unaffected
• Data collisions are less likely
• Data can be sent along multiple routes
• It uses less cabling

What is a pro of a bus network?

• Data can be sent along multiple routes
• Data collisions are less likely
• It uses less cabling
• If a device fails, the rest of the network is unaffected

Which network topology is characterized by all devices being connected to a central switch or server?

• Mesh network
• Bus network
• Star network
• Ring network

In a ring network, how are all devices connected?

• Directly or indirectly to one another
• In a ring
• To a central switch or server
• To a backbone cable

Which of the following is a mesh network?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Which of the following is a Star network?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Which network topology is characterized by all devices being connected to a backbone cable?

• Bus network
• Star network
• Mesh network
• Ring network

What is a pro of a star network?

• If a device fails, the rest of the network is unaffected
• Data collisions are less likely
• Data can be sent along multiple routes
• It is cheap

What is a con of a bus network?

• Data can be sent along multiple routes
• It uses less cabling
• If a device fails, the rest of the network is unaffected
• Data collisions can slow the network down
