Exploring Network Topologies Quiz

If the main cable on a bus fails what happens?

• Nothing

• Some of the computers will still work

• The whole network fails

• One computer fails

Which of the following is a characteristic of a star topology?

• All devices are connected to a single central cable.

• All devices are connected to a central hub or switch.

• Each device is connected to two other devices, forming a circular pathway.

• Every device is connected to every other device.

In a ring topology, what happens if one device fails?

• The entire network fails.

• Only the failed device is affected.

• The network continues to function without any issues.

• The network automatically reconfigures itself.

Which topology is most likely to be used in a small office with limited budget?

• Mesh topology

• Star topology

• Bus topology

• Ring topology

What is a major advantage of a mesh topology?

• It is the cheapest topology to implement.

• It provides high redundancy and reliability.

• It requires the least amount of cabling.

• It is the easiest to set up and maintain.

In a bus topology, what is the main function of the terminators?

• To connect devices to the network.

• To amplify the signal along the cable.

• To prevent signal reflection at the ends of the cable.

• To provide power to the network devices.

Which topology is most suitable for a network that requires high fault tolerance?

• Star topology

• Ring topology

• Bus topology

• Mesh topology

What is a disadvantage of using a star topology?

• It is difficult to add new devices.

• It requires a lot of cabling.

• If the central hub fails, the entire network goes down.

• It is not scalable.

In a ring topology, data travels in which direction?

• Both directions simultaneously

• Clockwise only

• Anti-clockwise only

• Either clockwise or anti-clockwise, but not both

Which topology is often used in wireless networks?

• Star topology

• Ring topology

• Bus topology

• Mesh topology
