Star
b)
Mesh
5.

6.
Which of the following is NOT an advantage of a star network topology?
a)
There is no central node to fail
b)
Simple to add or remove a node as it has no effect on any other node
c)
Good security - no workstation can interact with another without going through the server first
d)

a)
True
b)
False
11.
Which of the following is a disadvantage of a mesh network topology?
