What else can I help you with?
Which physical topology does switching use?
A star topology.
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.
Why is the star topology the best topology?
Scalability and reliabillty of star topology makes it the best, easy to remove or add a device.
What type of device is usually found at the center of an extended star topology?
both hubs and switch can act as a center of a star topology
Which topology provides each device with a point to point connection to every other device in the network?
star topology
Why is the star the best topology?
Scalability and reliabillty of star topology makes it the best, easy to remove or add a device.
Which topology uses a central device for point-to-point connections to other devices?
A star topology; a network topology in which endpoints on a network are connected to a common central device by point-to-point links.
What physical topology operates around a central network device for networks?
The physical topology that operates around a central network device is known as a star topology. In this configuration, all network devices are connected to a central hub, switch, or router, which facilitates communication between them. This design enhances reliability, as the failure of one connection does not affect the entire network, though the central device's failure can lead to network disruption. Star topology is commonly used in home and office networks due to its simplicity and ease of management.
What is the star network with an additional networking device connected to the main networking device?
hierarchical (extended) star topology
What is the most commonly used physical topology?
The most commonly used physical network topology is the star topology. This design features a central device, such as a switch or hub, to which all other devices are connected. It is widely used in modern Ethernet networks due to its simplicity and ease of troubleshooting.
What physical topology is most widely used?
In a LAN, the star topology is very common.
Which physical topology uses a central device with drop cables extended in all directions?
It sounds to me like you're describing a star network.
