Ring and Bus

What is a key feature of data transmission in a ring topology?

• Data is transmitted using a token passed from device to device.

• Data is sent directly to the destination device only.

• Data is sent in packets to all devices simultaneously.

• Data is broadcasted to all devices at once.

Why do FDDI networks use two rings?

• To increase the speed of data transmission.

• To reduce the cost of network setup.

• To provide a backup in case one ring fails.

• To allow more devices to connect to the network.

In a bus topology, what is the purpose of terminators?

• To amplify the signal strength.

• To prevent data from bouncing back along the cable.

• To convert data into a different format.

• To connect additional devices to the network.

What happens if there is a break in the bus topology?

• Data is rerouted through a different path.

• The entire network goes down.

• Only the devices near the break are affected.

• The network continues to function normally.

What is a disadvantage of adding or removing a device in a bus topology?

• It causes temporary network downtime.

• It requires reconfiguring the entire network.

• It increases the network's data transmission speed.

• It has no impact on the network's performance.
