Question 1

The network arrangement comprising nodes and connecting lines via sender and receiver is referred to as _

Answer 1

Network Topology

Question 2

The various types of network topologies are:

Answer 2

• Point to Point Topology is a type of topology that works on the functionality of the sender and receiver
• Mesh Topology every device is connected to another device via a particular channel.
• Star Topology all the devices are connected to a single hub through a cable. This hub is the central node and all other nodes are connected to the central node
• Bus topology is a network type in which every computer and network device is connected to a single cable known as the back cable.

Question 3

_ is a type of topology that works on the functionality of the sender and receiver

Answer 3

Point to Point Topology

Question 4

Every device is connected to another device via a particular channel.

Answer 4

Mesh Topology

Question 5

All the devices are connected to a single hub through a cable. This hub is the central node and all other nodes are connected to the central node

Answer 5

Star Topology

Question 6

_ is a network type in which every computer and network device is connected to a single cable known as the back cable.

Answer 6

Bus topology

1. It is the easiest network topology for linearly connecting peripherals or computers.
2. It works very efficiently well when there is a small network.
3. The length of cable required is less than a star topology.
4. It is easy to connect or remove devices in this network without affecting any other device.
5. Very cost-effective as compared to other network topologies i.e. mesh and star
6. It is easy to understand topology.
7. Easy to expand by joining the two cables together.

Question 7

It forms a ring connecting devices with exactly two neighboring devices.

Answer 7

Ring Topology

Token passing: It is a network access method in which a token is passed from one node to another node.
Token: It is a frame that circulates the network.

Question 8

It is a network access method in which a token is passed from one node to another node.

Answer 8

Token passing

Question 9

It is a frame that circulates the network.

Answer 9

Token

Question 10

This topology has a hierarchical flow of data.

Answer 10

Tree Topology

Question 11

This topology is the variation of the Star topology.

Answer 11

Tree Topology

Question 12

This topological technology combines all the various types of topologies. It is used when the nodes are free to take any form.

Answer 12

Hybrid Topology
