Network Topology 1.2
| You have a small network that uses a hub to connect multiple devices. What physical topology is used? | Star |
| Which topology connects all devices to a trunk cable | Bus |
| You want to implement a fault tolerant topology as you interconnect routers on your WAN. Which topology would meet your needs? | Mesh |
| Which topology connects each device to a neighboring device? | Ring |
| Which topology provides redundancy for a failed link? | Mesh |
| You have a network that uses a logical ring topology. How do messages travel through the network? | Messages travel from one device to the next until they reach the destination device. |
| You have an ad-hock wireless network that doesn't employ a wireless access point. Every wireless network card can communicate with any other wireless network card on the network. What type of topology has been implemented in this type of network? | Mesh |
| What device is used to create a physical star topology? | Switch |
| You have a network that uses a logical bus topology. How do messages travel through the network? | Messages are broadcast to all devices connected to the network. |
| Which topology connects each network device to a central hub? | Star |
| In which topology does each device on the network act as a repeater, sending the signal to the next device? | Ring |
What is Topology?
Network topologies describe the methods in which all the elements of a network are mapped. The topology term refers to both the physical and logical layout of a network.
