Star and mesh topologies

Question 1

What is bus topology

Answer 1

-All devices connected to one main wire
-If the cable breaks, all devices loose connection

Question 2

Ring Topology

Answer 2

-All devices connected to each other
-If one part of the cable breaks, all devices loose connection

Question 3

What is Star network Topology

Answer 3

-most popular type of network
-central switch
-All devices connected to the switch
-Switch is intelligent and makes sure data only goes where it needs to
-If a single cable breaks, only that device is affected
-If the switch breaks, all devices are affected

Question 4

What is full mesh network topology

Answer 4

-Every device is connected to each other
-If any cable breaks data can be sent via another route
-More hardware required which adds to costs

Question 5

what is Partial mesh network topology

Answer 5

-Multiple devices are connected however not every device is connected to every other device
-Reduces the amount of hardware which reduces costs

Question 6

What is a topology

Answer 6

The arrangement of all the things needed to build a network
