QUESTION 1
If one of the links to a computer on a physical star topology is served, what will be the result?
A. The entire network will stop working.
B. The affected link and the adjacent network links will stop working.
C. Only the affected link will stop working.
D. Only the adjacent links will stop working.
Answer: C

Explanation/Reference:
In the star topology each computer is connected to a central point by a
separate cable or wireless connection. Thus each computer has a
dedicated link to the network central device and a break in the link
between a particular computer and the central network device will affect
only that computer.

QUESTION 2
When one connection to a host fails in a full mesh network, which of the following is true?
A. All hosts can communicate
B. No hosts can communicate
C. Half of the host will lose communication
D. Only the two hosts between the failed connection will lose communication
Answer: A

Explanation/Reference:
In a full mesh network, each node has a connection to at two other
nodes. Thus, should one connection fail, it will have no effect on
communication as all nodes will be connected to at least one other node.

QUESTION 3
Which of the following network topologies uses the most cable?
A. Star
B. Ring
C. Bus
D. Mesh
Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
In the mesh topology, each node is connected to at least three other
nodes. This requires more cabling than in the ring or bus topology, in
which each node is connected to only two other nodes, or the star
topology, in which each node is connected to a central hub or switch.
Incorrect Answers:
A: In the star topology, each node is connected to a central hub or
switch. This requires less cabling than in the mesh topology, in which
each node is connected to at least three other nodes.
B: In the ring
topology consists of a closed loop in which each node is connected to
the node ahead of it and the node behind it in the loop. This requires
less cabling than in the mesh topology, in which each node is connected
to at least three other nodes.
C: The bus topology is similar to the
ring topology, except that the cable does not form a complete loop, but
is terminated at each end. Each node, except the nodes at the end
points, is connected to the node ahead of it and the node behind it
along the cable. This requires less cabling than in the mesh topology,
in which each node is connected to at least three other nodes.

QUESTION 4
Which of the following network topologies uses the least cable?
A. Star
B. Ring
C. Bus
D. Mesh
Answer: C
Explanation/Reference:
The bus topology consists of a single cable that connects the network
nodes. Both ends of the cable are terminated just after the last node.
Each node, except the nodes at the end points, is connected to the node
ahead of it and the node behind it along the cable. This requires least
amount of cabling.
Incorrect Answers:
A: In the star topology,
each node is connected to a central hub or switch. This requires more
cabling than in the bus topology, in which the nodes are connected on a
single trunk cable that is terminated just after the last nodes at
either end.
B: In the ring topology consists of a closed loop in
which each node is connected to the node ahead of it and the node behind
it in the loop. This requires more cabling than in the bus topology, in
which the nodes are connected on a single trunk cable that is
terminated just after the last nodes at either end and does not need to
connect the ends together to form a loop.
C: In the mesh topology, each node is connected to at least three other nodes. This
requires
more cabling than in the ring or bus topology, in which each node is
connected to only two other nodes, or the star topology, in which each
node is connected to a central hub or switch.
