Network Topologies Quiz

What is a bus topology?

• A network setup where all devices are connected to multiple cables

• A network setup where all devices are connected wirelessly

• A network setup where all devices are connected to a central server

• A network setup where all devices are connected to a single cable

Explain the advantages of using a bus topology.

• Difficult troubleshooting process

• More cable length required

• Advantages of using a bus topology include easy installation, less cable length, easy troubleshooting, and addition of new devices.

• Difficult installation process

What are the limitations of a bus topology?

• Limited cable length, no potential for network congestion, and multiple points of failure

• Unlimited cable length, potential for network congestion, and multiple points of failure

• Unlimited cable length, no potential for network congestion, and multiple points of failure

• Limited cable length, potential for network congestion, and single point of failure

What is a star topology?

• A network topology where each network device is connected to multiple central hubs

• A network topology where each network device is connected to a mainframe computer

• A network topology where each network device is connected to a central hub or switch.

• A network topology where each network device is connected to each other in a daisy chain

Describe the key features of a star topology.

• No central connection point, all nodes are connected in a linear manner

• All nodes connected to a central server located in a different country

• Central hub or switch with each node connected directly to it

• All nodes connected to each other in a circular manner

What are the disadvantages of using a star topology?

• Limited scalability and dependency on the central hub for operation.

• Easy to troubleshoot and low maintenance.

• Unlimited scalability and independence from the central hub for operation.

• High security and fast data transfer.

What is a ring topology?

• A type of network where each device is connected to every other device

• A type of network topology where each device is connected to exactly two other devices, forming a single continuous pathway for data to travel.

• A type of network where all devices are connected to a central hub

• A type of jewelry worn on the finger

How does data travel in a ring topology?

• Data travels in a circular path from one device to the next and back to the original device.

• Data travels in a straight line from one device to the next

• Data travels in a star-shaped path from one device to the next

• Data travels in a random pattern between devices

What is a mesh topology?

• A network topology in which each node is connected to only one other node.

• A network topology in which each node is connected to every other node.

• A network topology in which nodes are not connected to each other.

• A network topology in which nodes are connected in a circular manner.
