Network Topologies & Types Quiz Flashcards
Which of the following answers refer to the characteristic features of bus topology? (Select 3 answers)
Each network node connects to exactly two other nodes
The main network cable becomes a single point of failure
Data is passed through each intermediate node until the receiver node is reached
All network nodes connect to a single central cable (a.k.a. backbone or trunk)
Each node becomes a network’s single point of failure
A terminator at each end of the main network cable prevents collisions caused by signal bounce

Which of the following statements apply to Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networking? (Select 3 answers)
In P2P networks, a network node can only request resources
Centralized network type
Less stable and secure than client-server networking model
Decentralized network type
In P2P networks, each node can at the same time serve and request resources
More stable and secure than client-server networking model
Less stable and secure than client-server networking model

A type of network connecting computers within a small geographical area such as a building or group of buildings is called:
PAN
LAN
MAN
WAN
LAN
A local area network (LAN) is a collection of devices connected together in one physical location, such as a building, office, or home. A LAN can be small or large, ranging from a home network with one user to an enterprise network with thousands of users and devices in an office or school.
A type of network that interconnects multiple LANs within a limited geographical area is known as:
BAN
CAN
SAN
RAN
CAN
A campus area network (CAN) is a computer network that spans a limited geographic area. CANs interconnect multiple local area networks (LAN) within an educational or corporate campus.
Which of the following answers refers to a solution that simplifies large network infrastructure management through the use of software?
mGRE
SDWAN
MPLS
EIGRP
SDWAN
SD-WAN stands for software-defined wide area network. It’s a virtualized service that uses software-defined networking (SDN) technologies to connect local area networks (LANs) across large distances. SD-WAN allows users in remote and branch offices to access corporate resources, services, and applications
