IT-5 Network Topology Worksheet

In a school project, Aiden, Grace, and Maya are working on a network setup. What is a key feature of Mesh Topology?

• Devices are connected wirelessly

• Every device is connected to a central hub

• Every device is connected to every other device

• Devices form a closed loop

What does Mesh Topology provide in terms of network characteristics?

• Low redundancy

• High reliability

• Simple installation

• Inexpensive management

What is an advantage of Mesh Topology?

• Low redundancy

• High cost

• Robust and fault-tolerant

• Simple installation

Hannah is setting up a network for her new office. She is considering different network topologies and is curious about the disadvantages of each. What is a disadvantage of Mesh Topology?

• Simple installation

• Low redundancy

• Limited connections

• High cost due to numerous connections

How does data travel in Ring Topology?

• In a circular fashion, passing through each device until it reaches its destination.

• In a straight line from source to destination.

• In a star pattern connecting to a central hub.

• In a random manner without a specific path.

In a school project, Anika and her classmates are setting up a network for their computer lab. They decide to use a Ring Topology. What is an advantage of this topology?

• Low redundancy

• High cost

• Equal access to resources for all devices

• Easy management

In a school project, Evelyn and her classmates set up a network using Ring Topology. What is a disadvantage of this setup?

• Easy installation

• High redundancy

• Failure of one device can disrupt the entire network

• Low cost

In a school's computer lab, what is each computer directly connected to?

• Devices forming a closed loop

• Mesh network

• Central hub or switch

• Bus communication line

Maya has set up a Star Topology network in her home. What happens if one device fails in this setup?

• Entire network is affected

• Other devices are unaffected

• Complex installation

• Low redundancy

Avery is setting up a network for her small business. She decides to use a Star Topology. What is an advantage of this choice?

• Entire network is affected

• Easy to install and manage

• Complex installation

• Low redundancy
