Network Topologies

What is a network topology?

• A network topology is a type of tropical fruit

• A network topology is the study of ocean currents

• A network topology is a type of mathematical equation

• A network topology is the layout pattern of interconnections between devices in a network.

What are the different types of network topologies?

• bus, star, ring, mesh, and hybrid

• square, triangle, circle, hexagon

• linear, diagonal, curved, zigzag

• north, south, east, west

Explain the bus network topology.

• All the nodes are connected to a single wireless router

• All the nodes are connected to a central hub

• All the nodes are connected in a circular manner

• All the nodes are connected to a single cable

Describe the ring network topology.

• Each node is connected to all other nodes in the network.

• Each node is connected to exactly two other nodes, forming a circular pathway for data to travel.

• There is a central node that all other nodes are connected to.

• Data can only travel in one direction around the network.

What is a star network topology?

• A type of network topology where each node is connected to a central hub.

• A type of network topology where the nodes are arranged in a circular fashion

• A type of network topology where there is no central hub

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

Explain the mesh network topology.

• Each node is connected to every other node in the network.

• Nodes are connected in a circular fashion, with each node connected to the next and the last node connected to the first.

• Each node is only connected to one other node in the network.

• The network consists of a single central node with all other nodes connected to it.

What are the advantages of a bus network topology?

• Easy and inexpensive expansion of the network

• High security risk

• Difficult and expensive expansion of the network

• Limited scalability

What are the disadvantages of a ring network topology?

• Low scalability, no single point of failure, and no potential for network congestion.

• High scalability, no single point of failure, and no potential for network congestion.

• High scalability, multiple points of failure, and no potential for network congestion.

• Limited scalability, a single point of failure, and potential for network congestion.

What are the advantages of a star network topology?

• Centralized management, easy troubleshooting, and high performance

• No management, no troubleshooting, and average performance

• Decentralized management, difficult troubleshooting, and low performance

• Limited management, moderate troubleshooting, and average performance

What are the disadvantages of a mesh network topology?

• A disadvantage of a mesh network topology is the limited scalability.

• One disadvantage of a mesh network topology is the slow data transmission speed.

• One disadvantage of a mesh network topology is the high cost of implementation and maintenance.

• The disadvantage of a mesh network topology is the low level of security it provides.
