What is a network topology?

• The layout of how a network communicates with different devices

• A device used to connect computers

• A protocol for wireless communication

• A type of software used in networks

What is the most common wired topology?

• Bus topology

• Ring topology

• Star topology

• Mesh topology

What happens in a star topology if the central hub or switch fails?

• Only one computer will be affected

• The network speed will double

• All computers connected to that central point will be affected

• There will be no effect on the network

What is a disadvantage of a ring topology?

• It cannot be used for wireless communication

• It requires a central hub or switch

• If one computer goes down, all data flow is disrupted

• It is expensive to install

What is required at both ends of a bus topology to keep it operational?

• Terminators

• A switch

• A router

• A firewall

What is a major advantage of mesh topology?

• It is easy to troubleshoot

• It does not require any cabling

• It creates a high redundancy level

• It is the cheapest topology to implement

What topology does the internet use to ensure redundancy?

• Star topology

• Mesh topology

• Bus topology

• Ring topology

What is the difference between infrastructure and ad hoc wireless topologies?

• Ad hoc can only connect two devices, while infrastructure can connect many

• Infrastructure requires a central hub, while ad hoc uses a decentralized approach

• Infrastructure uses cables, while ad hoc does not

• Ad hoc networks are more expensive to set up

What is a characteristic of a wireless mesh topology?

• It cannot handle failures well

• It requires extra cabling

• Wireless access points communicate with each other to spread the internet connection

• It is mainly used for small area networks

What happens if a terminator is loose or missing in a bus topology?

• The network automatically repairs itself

• Data flow is disrupted due to signal reflection

• All devices on the network will lose power

• The network becomes faster
