Computer Networks: Tree & Ring

What is the definition of a network node?

• A device or point in a network where data can be created, received, or transmitted.

• A type of network topology.

• A method for connecting computers.

• A software used for network management.

Which of the following best describes a network topology?

• The arrangement of different elements (links, nodes, etc.) in a computer network.

• The speed of a network connection.

• The security protocol used in a network.

• The software installed on network devices.

Which of the following is NOT a network topology?

• Tree

• Ring

• Network node

• Bus

Describe the difference between Ring and Tree network topologies.

• Ring topology connects devices in a circular fashion, while Tree topology organizes devices in a hierarchical structure.

• Ring topology uses a central hub, while Tree topology connects devices in a circle.

• Ring topology is only used for wireless networks, while Tree topology is used for wired networks.

• Ring topology is faster than Tree topology in all cases.

Which of the following best links everyday use of networking with prior knowledge?

• Using social media to connect with friends

• Reading a book alone

• Writing notes on paper

• Watching TV without internet

Which of the following is an example of a network topology?

• Bus

• Router

• Switch

• Firewall

Which of the following best describes a ring topology?

• Each node is connected to exactly two other nodes, forming a circular pathway for signals.

• All nodes are connected to a central node.

• Nodes are connected in a hierarchical manner.

• Nodes are randomly connected.

Which network topology would be best for organizing computers in a hierarchical manner?

• Tree topology

• Ring topology

• Bus topology

• Star topology

A student wants to add a new device to a ring topology network. What should they expect during this process?

• The network will temporarily shut down.

• The network will automatically adjust without interruption.

• The network will become faster.

• The network will lose all data.

Which of the following is an advantage of tree topology?

• Easy to manage and maintain

• Requires less cabling

• No impact if central node fails

• No hierarchy in troubleshooting
