Q

Which of the following is NOT a Network LAN Topology?

  1. Bus.
  2. Tree.
  3. Branch.
  4. Mesh
A
  1. Branch.

________________________________________

The LAN Topologies include:

  • Bus* - Linear, single cable. If one station has a problem all other on the same cable are impacted.
  • Ring* - All computers are connected by a one-direction, closed loop. When one station has a problem all other on the same ring can be impacted.
  • Star* - All computers are connected to a central device–which is the single point of failure.
  • Tree* - A type of bus topology that does not have one linear cable but branches of cables.
  • Mesh -* Servers are interconnected to each other to provide redundancy and high availability. There is no single point of failure.

There is no such thing as a Branch topology.

Q

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of Fiber Optic cabling?

  1. It is the easiest cable to work with due to its ability to be run over longer distances without attenuation.
  2. It is more expensive that coaxial cable or twisted-pair.
  3. It is resistant to eavesdropping and interferance.
  4. Data travels as light over a glass or plastic medium.
A

___________________________________________

Although Fiber optic cabling can be run over longer distances without attenuation (loss of signal over distance) it is harder to work with than either Coaxial cable or Twisted-Pair.
