What is a mesh network topology?
A mesh network topology is a type of network architecture where each device in the network is connected to every other device.
A mesh network topology is a type of network architecture where devices are connected in a star-like pattern.
A mesh network topology is a type of network architecture where devices are connected in a linear chain.
A mesh network topology is a type of network architecture where each device in the network is connected to only one other device.
What are the disadvantages of using a mesh network topology?
Limited coverage area, difficulty in troubleshooting, lack of flexibility
Limited scalability, increased latency, vulnerability to security breaches
Dependency on a central node, potential interference from other devices, limited bandwidth
High cost, complex implementation and management, potential performance issues
What is a star network topology?
A star network topology is a type of network configuration where all devices are connected to a central hub or switch.
A star network topology is a type of network configuration where all devices are connected to multiple central hubs or switches.
A star network topology is a type of network configuration where all devices are connected to each other in a circular manner.
A star network topology is a type of network configuration where all devices are connected to a linear chain of hubs or switches.
What are the disadvantages of using a star network topology?
Limited network speed, difficult troubleshooting, and complex network management.
A single point of failure, high cost of implementation, and limited scalability.
What is the main difference between a mesh network and a star network?
The main difference is the way devices are connected.
The main difference is the cost of setting up the network.
The main difference is the speed of data transmission.
The main difference is the number of devices connected.
Which network topology provides better reliability: mesh or star?
star
bus
mesh
ring
Which network topology is easier to set up: mesh or star?
ring
star
bus
mesh
Which network topology is more commonly used in home networks: mesh or star?
bus
ring
star
mesh
Match the following
Star Network
Mesh Network
Bus Network
Which is not a disadvantage of a start network?
The whole network fails if the switch fails, as no node can communicate.
A wired version of this network topology requires plenty of cable - in a large network this can be expensive.
Bottlenecking can occur if too much traffic passes through the central switch, making the network slow.
Having many connections means that a lot of maintenance is required.
