Star and Mesh

What is the main device used in a star topology?

• Switch

• Router

• Modem

• Hub

Why is a star topology considered fault-tolerant?

• Because it uses multiple central devices

• Because a break in one connection doesn't affect others

• Because it has backup power supplies

• Because it uses wireless connections

Where is a mesh topology more commonly used?

• In small home networks

• In Local Area Networks (LANs)

• In Wide Area Networks (WANs)

• In personal devices

What is the benefit of a mesh topology in WANs?

• It requires less maintenance

• It reduces the number of devices needed

• It provides redundancy and ensures connectivity

• It is cheaper to implement

How many connections are needed for a full mesh with 4 devices?

• 6

• 4

• 10

• 8
