This is from the Greek word Topos meaning place

Answer 1

Topology

Question 2

This is the arrangement of elements of communication network

Answer 2

Topology

Question 3

This is either physical or logical structure of a network

Answer 3

Topology

Question 4

This is the schematic description of the arrangement of network elements

Answer 4

Topology

Question 5

This is the standard term that network professionals use when they refer to the network’s basic design

Answer 5

Topology

Question 6

This refers to the arrangement or physical layout of the computers, cables and other components in the network

Answer 6

Physical Topology

Question 7

This is the path that signals actually take around the network

Answer 7

Logical Topology

Question 8

This describes the flow of data through the network

Answer 8

Logical Topology

Question 9

What are the Standard Topology

Answer 9

• Bus Topology
• Star Topology
• Ring Topology
• Mesh Topology

Question 10

What are the variations in network topologies

Answer 10

• Tree Topology / Star-Bus
• Star Ring Topology
• Hybrid Topology

Question 11

This talks about all devices are connected to a central cable called the bust, truck, or backbone

Answer 11

Bus Topology

Question 12

In Bus Topology, this is often times referred to as _________, because all nodes are connected in a straight line

Answer 12

Linear Bus

Question 13

This talks about when one computer sends data, in the form of electronic signals, it will be sent to all the computers in the network. But only the computer that matches the destination address encoded in the signal accepts the information. All other computer disregard the message

Answer 13

Bus Topology

Question 14

This is a component attached to each end of the cable to absorb free signals.

Answer 14

Terminator

Question 15

This talks about all network devices are connected into a single concentrating device called hub

Answer 15

Star Topology

Question 16

This device makes it possible for a computer to have indirect connection to all other computer within the network

Answer 16

Hub

Question 17

This talks about all computer are connected to one another in a closed loop.

Answer 17

Ring Topology

Question 18

This is when a computer sends data along the cable, the message flows around the ring in one direction only.

Answer 18

Ring Topology

Question 19

When it comes to this topology, there is no need for terminators because there is no end to the ring.

Answer 19

Ring Topology

Question 20

This is one of the methods used to transmit data in the ring topology

Answer 20

Token Passing

Question 21

This is a special series of bits that is generated and is passed along the network until a computer that has a need to transmit data makes use of this.

Answer 21

Token

Question 22

This requires complex, redundant links between each device in the network.

Answer 22

Mesh Topology

Question 23

This can be employed either in full or in partial

Answer 23

Mesh Topology

Question 24

This combines the characteristics of both the star and bus topologies

Answer 24

Tree Topology/ Star - Bus Topology

Question 25

This uses several star topology networks connected through a single backbone.

Answer 25

Tree Topology

Question 26

Its network expansion and combining several independent networks were made possible through this topology

Answer 26

Tree Topology

Question 27

This incorporates both star and ring networks

Answer 27

Star-Ring Topology

Question 28

This is the other term for Star-Ring Topology

Answer 28

Star Wired Ring

Question 29

This combines multiple different topologies and the resulting topology doesn’t fall into basic topology definitions.

Answer 29

Hybrid Topology

Question 30

This employs the combined characteristics of the topologies you are going to connect.

Answer 30

Hybrid Topology
