Quiz on Topologies and Ethernet Standards

What does network topology define?

• The software applications in use

• The type of devices used

• The structure of the network

• The speed of data transmission

Which topology connects all devices to a central cable?

• Mesh Topology

• Star Topology

• Ring Topology

• Bus Topology

What is a disadvantage of Ring Topology?

• Unidirectional traffic

• High energy efficiency

• Robustness against link failure

• Easy to install

In which topology does each host connect to all other hosts?

• Star Topology

• Bus Topology

• Tree Topology

• Mesh Topology

What does the '100' in '100BaseT' signify?

• The type of cabling used

• The standard data transmission speed in Mbps

• The maximum distance of transmission

Which topology allows for easy fault identification and isolation?

• Mesh Topology

• Star Topology

• Bus Topology

• Ring Topology

What is a key advantage of Mesh Topology?
