Lesson 10: Topologies

What is a key characteristic of a bus topology?

• Each device is connected to a central hub.

• All devices share a single communication line.

• Every device is connected to every other device.

• It is the most expensive topology to implement.

Which of the following is an advantage of mesh topology?

• It is easy to set up and maintain.

• It requires less cabling than other topologies.

• It provides high redundancy and reliability.

• It is the most cost-effective topology.

What is a disadvantage of star topology?

• It is difficult to troubleshoot.

• Failure of the central hub can bring down the entire network.

• It requires more cabling than a bus topology.

• It is not scalable.

How does a bus topology compare to a star topology in terms of cabling?

• Bus topology requires more cabling.

• Star topology requires more cabling.

• Both require the same amount of cabling.

• Neither requires cabling.
