Quiz: Network Topologies, Protocols, and Architectures

Which of the following is a key advantage of star topology?

• • Difficult to add devices

• • Single point of failure

• • Easy to add devices

Which topology is known for its high redundancy due to multiple paths between devices?

• • Ring Topology

• • Bus Topology

• • Mesh Topology

• • Tree Topology

What is a disadvantage of ring topology?

• • Too many redundant paths
