In a physical star topology, what is the role of the central hub?

• It acts as a backup power source.

• It acts as the focal point for communication within the network.

• It stores all the data for the network.

• It provides internet access to all devices.

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

• Only the device connected to the failed hub is affected.

• The entire network is affected.

• The network switches to a backup hub.

• The network continues to function normally.

How are devices connected in a physical star topology?

• In a linear arrangement.

• In a circular arrangement.

• In a non-linear arrangement.

• In a hierarchical arrangement.

What is one of the common uses of a physical star topology?

• Wide Area Networks (WANs)

• Local Area Networks (LANs)

• Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs)

• Personal Area Networks (PANs)

In a logical bus topology, how are all devices connected?

• In a ring formation

• To a single cable

• In a star formation

• Wirelessly

What happens to data packets in a logical bus topology?

• They are sent to a central hub

• They are broadcast to all clients on the network

• They are sent to a specific device

• They are stored in a buffer

What is the impact if the network cable fails in a logical bus topology?

• Only the failed segment is affected

• The entire network is impacted

• The network switches to a backup cable

• Only the server is affected

What is the purpose of terminators in a logical bus topology?

• To amplify the signal

• To prevent data reflections

• To connect additional devices

• To provide power to the network

What is one of the advantages of a logical bus topology?

• It is the most secure topology

• It is the easiest to set up when devices need to be connected linearly

• It provides the fastest data transfer rates

• It requires the least amount of cabling

Which of the following is a characteristic of a logical bus topology?

• Each device is directly connected to a central hub.

• Terminators are placed at both ends of the cable.

• The hub forwards data to the intended recipient.

• Requires more cabling compared to bus topology.
