Network Topology Quiz

What is network topology?

• The type of cables used in a network

• The speed of data transmission in a network

• The software used to manage network traffic

• The physical arrangement of connections between computers

Which network topology has no central point of communication?

• Star Network

• Mesh Network

• Bus Network

• Ring Network

What is a disadvantage of a ring network?

• One down computer can halt all communication

• It is very fast

• It is the most commonly used topology

• It requires more cables than a bus network

In a bus network, how are computers connected?

• In a star formation

• In a sequential line

• In a mesh formation

• In a circular formation

What is a key advantage of a star network?

• It is the cheapest to set up

• It requires fewer cables than a bus network

• One down computer does not affect the entire network

• It is the fastest network topology

What type of device is used in a star network to manage traffic?

• Switch or hub

• Router

• Modem

• Repeater

Which network topology is seldom used today?

• Mesh Network

• Star Network

• Ring Network

• Bus Network

What happens if one computer goes down in a bus network?

• All communication is halted

• Only that computer is affected

• The entire network crashes

• It improves network speed

In a mesh network, what is each node responsible for?

• Managing network traffic

• Connecting to the internet

• Providing wireless connections

• Sending and receiving transmissions

What is the main characteristic of a mesh network?

• Circular arrangement

• Centralized management

• Direct communication between nodes

• Sequential connections
