Network Topology Quiz

Which of the following best describes the concept of network topology?

• The physical layout of devices in a network

• The type of cables used in a network

• The speed of data transmission

• The security measures implemented

Which network topology provides multiple paths for data to travel, making it the most fault-tolerant?

• Bus

• Star

• Ring

• Mesh

What is the primary disadvantage of a physical bus topology?

• It is expensive to implement

• A single point of failure can disrupt the entire network

• It requires multiple cables for each device

• It cannot be used for small networks

In which topology does a single break in the cable cause the entire network to fail?

• Star

• Bus

• Mesh

• Hybrid

Which network topology is most suitable for large organizations requiring high redundancy and fault tolerance?

• Star

• Bus

• Mesh

• Ring

What happens when the main cable in a bus network fails?

• Only one device is affected

• The entire network fails

• The network continues to function normally

• Data transmission speeds increase

Which of the following is a major advantage of a bus topology?

• It is highly scalable

• It requires fewer cables and is cost-effective

• It has no limitations on the number of connected devices

• It is immune to network failures

In a bus network, data is transmitted in which manner?

• Directly to the intended recipient

• Simultaneously to all devices

• Through a centralized switch

• By creating direct connections between nodes

Why is a bus topology not commonly used in modern networks?

• It has high installation costs

• It is difficult to configure

• It lacks scalability and fault tolerance

• It requires specialized hardware

What is the primary method of data transmission in a ring topology?

• Data travels in a straight line

• Data is sent in packets to a central hub

• Data travels in a circular manner, passing through each node

• Data is broadcast to all devices simultaneously
