ITEC45_Q

Question 1

is the arrangement with which
computer systems or network devices are connected
to each other.

Answer 1

Network topology

Question 2

Topologies may define both physical and logical
aspect of the network. ( true/false )

Answer 2

true

Question 3

Both logical and physical topologies could be same or
different in a same network. ( true/false )

Answer 3

true

Question 4

contains
exactly two hosts such as computer, switches,
routers, or servers connected back to back using a
single piece of cable. Often, the receiving end of
one host is connected to sending end of the other
and vice versa.

Answer 4

Point to Point

Question 5

all devices
share single communication line or cable.

Answer 5

Bus topology

Question 6

All hosts in Star topology are
connected to a central device, known as ____ ______, using a point-to-point connection.

Answer 6

hub device

Question 7

All hosts in Star topology are
connected to a central device, known as hub
device, using a point-to-point connection. That is,
there exists a point to point connection between
hosts and hub.

Answer 7

Star topology

Question 8

each host machine
connects to exactly two other machines, creating a
circular network structure. When one host tries to
communicate or send message to a host which is
not adjacent to it, the data travels through all
intermediate hosts.

Answer 8

Ring topology

Question 9

In this type of topology, a host is
connected to one or multiple hosts. This topology
has hosts in point-to-point connection with every
other host or may also have hosts which are in
point-to-point connection with few hosts only.

Answer 9

Mesh topology

Question 10

All hosts have a point-to-point connection to
every other host in the network. Thus for every new host
n(n-1)/2 connections are required. It provides the most
reliable network structure among all network topologies.

Answer 10

Full mesh

Question 11

Not all hosts have point-to-point connection
to every other host. Hosts connect to each other in some
arbitrarily fashion. This topology exists where we need to
provide reliability to some hosts out of all

Answer 11

Partially mesh

Question 12

this is the most common form of
network topology in use presently. This topology
imitates as extended Star topology and inherits
properties of Bus topology.

Answer 12

Tree topology

Question 13

This topology connects all the hosts in
a linear fashion. Similar to Ring topology, all hosts
are connected to two hosts only, except the end
hosts. Means, if the end hosts in daisy chain are
connected then it represents Ring topology.

Answer 13

Daisy Chain

Question 14

A network structure whose
design contains more than one topology is said to
be hybrid topology. Hybrid topology inherits merits
and demerits of all the incorporating topologies

Answer 14

Hybrid topology

Question 15

Answer 15

Network topology
Point to Point
Bus topology
Star topology
Ring topology
mesh topology
Tree topology
Daisy chain
Hybrid topology
