Which topology connects all devices to a single backbone?

• Star Topology
• Bus Topology
• Ring Topology
• Mesh Topology

What device directs data packets between networks?

• Switch
• Firewall
• Router
• Hub

In which topology is there no single point of failure?

• Star Topology
• Bus Topology
• Ring Topology
• Mesh Topology

How does a star topology primarily manage data flow?

• Devices directly communicate with each other
• Data travels through a central hub or switch
• Data follows multiple paths to each device

Which device should you use to segment a network into smaller parts?

• Router
• Switch
• Firewall
• Repeater

What cabling choice is best for high-speed, long-distance data transfer?

• Twisted-pair cables
• Coaxial cables
• Fiber optic cables
• Copper cables

Why might a bus topology lead to performance issues?

• Data must pass through every device
• The central hub may become overwhelmed
• A single cable handles all network traffic
• Devices compete for bandwidth in a ring

How does a firewall enhance network security?

• Directing data packets to appropriate devices
• Controlling access based on security rules
• Ensuring that data follows the fastest path
• Connecting multiple network segments together

Which network architecture is more scalable for growing businesses?

• Client-server model with centralized management
• Peer-to-peer model with equal device status
• Star topology with limited node connections
• Ring topology with unidirectional data flow

What is a significant disadvantage of a star topology?

• Limited data throughput on a single cable
• Complexity in installation and troubleshooting
• Dependence on the central node's functionality
• Inability to add more devices easily
