In a star topology, what happens if the central hub/switch fails?
Only the computer connected to the hub will fail.
The entire network will be unaffected.
Only one section of the network will fail.
The entire network will fail.
Which of the following is a characteristic of bus topology?
Uses a central hub

Expensive to install
Highly scalable
In mesh topology, how are the devices connected?
Devices are connected to a central hub.

Which statement is true about bus topology?
It requires a lot of cabling.
It is difficult to troubleshoot.
It is not affected by high traffic.
It can be easily extended by joining cable segments.
What is a disadvantage of mesh topology?
It is easy to install.
It requires more cabling than other topologies.
It has low fault tolerance.
It cannot handle high amounts of traffic.
In star topology, how are the peripheral nodes connected?
In a ring
Directly to each other
Through a central hub or switch
Along a single backbone cable
What is a common issue in a bus topology when the network gets larger?
Signal reflection at the terminators
The central hub becomes a bottleneck.
The network becomes more secure.
It becomes easier to manage.
