Only a Mesh will allow every node to continue to work on a network if one cable does down. In a Star topology, however, only the computer the cable was connected to would lose contact with the network.

Network topology will allow all devices to continue to communicate with each other should a network cable fail?
Yes...depending on the type of topology.

Which topology is common these days Justify your answer with five reasons?
One of the most popular topologies for Ethernet LANs is the star and extended star topology. It is easy to setup, it's relatively cheap, and it creates more redundancy than the Bus Topology. The Star Topology works by connecting each node to a central device. This central connection allows us to have a fully functioning network even when other devices fail. The only real threat to this topology is that if the central device goes down, so does the entire network. The Extended Star Topology is a bit more advanced. Instead of connecting all devices to a central unit, we have sub-central devices added to the mix. This allows more functionality for organization and subnetting- yet also creates more points of failure. In many cases it is impractical to use a Star Topology since networks can span an entire building. In this case, the Extended Star Topology is all but necessary to prevent degraded signals. Whereas the Star Topology is better suited for small networks, the Extended Star Topology is generally better for the larger ones.

Which topology are all devices connected to one another in a closed loop?
An old topology called Token Ring
What is the definition of networking topology?
Topology refers to the physical method of wiring the devices to each other, what kind of connection devices are used, etc.
What is the differences between star topology and bus topology?
A star topology has a central hub with other devices each connected to the hub but not to each other - for one device to communicate to another, they have to use the hub. With a bus topology all the devices are connected to the same bus - there is no hub. Each topology has advantages and disadvantages; the speed of a star network is limited by the hub; a telephone exchange is an example of a star network and there is a built-in limit to the number of devices that can be connected and there's no way to increase it other than to replace the hub with a bigger one. However, the devices (telephones in our example) can be dumb - all the intelligence is in the hub; it manages the calls and importantly, for commercial exchanges, calculates the bills. For bus networks, devices have to be smarter but can do much more as they can grab the whole bus.
What is the difference between technology and topology?
Topology is the actual layout of the network, for instance, where the routers and other devices are located. That would be the networks topology.
What is the arrangement of computer on the network?
The arrangement of computers on a network is called topology. It describes how the individual computers are connected to each other and to the network.examples of topology are Star topology, ring topology, mesh topology, bus topology.
At a minimum a network topology diagram will include which components?
Connections between devices Devices
Deine the topology and explain the advantage and disadantage of bus star and ring topology?
Topology is the structure that describes how devices in a Network are connected.Bus Topology: Directly connects all devices to network i.e utilises a single Physical medium for Data transmission between devices.Star Topology: Connects all devices in network through a Central Network connecting device such as Hubs & Switches.Advantage of Bus Topology is that less connecting cable is used.Advantage of Star Topology is that Network can function in case one or more devices fail.Disadvantage of Bus Topology is that whole Network goes down if one device fails.Disadvantage of Star Topology is that it requires physical connecting medium from Central device to the connecting device i.e more expensive.
What topology connects each devices to a neighboring device?
Ring
