What is the main characteristic of a ring network topology?

Computers are connected in a ring shape.

Computers are connected in a star shape.

Computers are connected in a bus shape.

Computers are connected in a tree shape.

What is the significance of the ring shape in a ring network topology?

It ensures that none of the computers is more important than the others.

It ensures that one computer is more important than the others.

It ensures that data travels faster.

It ensures that the network is more secure.

What is one advantage of a ring network?

The data flows around the network in one direction so it is fast.

There is a reliance on a central computer.

It is difficult to add new users.

What is one disadvantage of a ring network?

If one computer in the ring stops working, the whole network stops.

The data flows in multiple directions.

There is no reliance on a central computer.

Why might a ring network slow down?

Because there are a lot of users on the network.

Because the data flows in multiple directions.

Because there is a reliance on a central computer.

Because it is expensive to expand.

Which of the following is NOT an advantage of a ring network?

If one computer in the ring stops working, the whole network stops.

The data flows around the network in one direction so it is fast.

There is no reliance on a central computer.

What is the Bus (or line) Network topology?

B) A network where computers are connected like bus stops on a main road.

A) A network where computers are connected in a circular fashion.

C) A network where computers are connected in a hierarchical structure.

D) A network where computers are connected randomly.

In a Bus Network topology, how are the computers connected?

C) Like bus stops on a main road.

B) In a hierarchical structure.

In a Bus Network topology, which computer is the most important?

D) None of the computers is more important than the others.

What is one advantage of the Bus (Line) Network?

More computers can be added without disruption.

It is expensive as it uses a lot of cable.

The network will be fast with a lot of users.

Failure of the central cable will not affect the network.

What is one disadvantage of the Bus (Line) Network?

The network will be slow with a lot of users.

It is cheap as it uses the least amount of cable.

More computers can be added without disruption.

What happens if the central cable fails in a Bus (Line) Network?

The network will continue to work.

The network will become faster.

Why is the Bus (Line) Network considered cheap?

It uses the least amount of cable.

It uses the most amount of cable.

It requires expensive hardware.

Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the Bus (Line) Network?

The network will be slow with a lot of users.

It is cheap as it uses the least amount of cable.

More computers can be added without disruption.

In a star network topology, how are computers connected?

Like a star to a central computer

What is one advantage of a star network?

If a cable fails, it will only affect one workstation.

It is less expensive as it uses the least cabling.

Failure of the central computer will stop the network from working.

What is one disadvantage of a star network?

It is more expensive as it uses the most cabling.

It is less expensive as it uses the least cabling.

More computers can be added without disruption.

It is less reliable than other network topologies.

What happens if the central computer in a star network fails?

Only one workstation is affected.

The network continues to work without any issues.

Which of the following is true about adding more computers to a star network?

More computers can be added without disruption.

It causes disruption to the network.

It is not possible to add more computers.

It makes the network less secure.
