What are the advantages anddisadvantages of token ring topology?
Advantage: No packet collisions Disadvantage: Single point of failure
which logical topology is best for a classroom environment?
A star topology is best for a classroom environment. This topology is easy to set up and manage, and it allows for easy expansion of the network. Additionally, it is less susceptible to network outages due to a single point of failure.
What physical network topology is described as a single link between two nodes?
Point-to-point
Which topology has only one central point of failure is easy to troubleshoot and is most commonly implemented in newer networks?
A star topology.A star topology.A star topology.A star topology.
Why might a wireless mesh topology be superior to a base station topology for communications in a natural disaster?
-Failure during a single device won’t break the network. -There is no traffic problem as there is a dedicated point to point links for every computer. -Fault identification is straightforward. -This topology provides multiple paths to succeed in the destination and tons of redundancy. -It provides high privacy and security. -Data transmission is more consistent because failure doesn’t disrupt its processes. -Adding new devices won’t disrupt data transmissions. -This topology has robust features to beat any situation. -A mesh doesn’t have a centralized authority.
Why would you use a hybrid topology?
Reliable because a hybrid topology can diagnose and isolate faults efficiently. A network fault (such as a faulty node or a break in a network cable) will not affect the performance of the rest of the network. A hybrid network quickly scans all nodes and hardware points to detect where a fault lies, isolates it, and carries out further diagnostic tests. The rest of the network remains fully functional while this fault isolation and diagnosis is carried out. Flexible because I combine various configurations to bring about most optimal conditions to suit network traffic, processing loads and data latency. Hybrid networks can be expanded easily to add new systems and nodes. Each concentration point (or the point which a network connection is made) is designed to hold extra lobes. Additional network hardware peripherals can be attached to these lobes in order to increase capacity.A hybrid topology is able to tap into the strengths of other topologies and ignore their weaknesses. This results in a complex network that is more efficient and effective than individual topologies. It combines the optimal features of its combined topologies. For instance, a star-wired ring topology combines the features of a star topology with those of a ring topology. This hybrid topology combines the fault tolerance capability of the star topology with the data reliability of the ring topology. A star-wired bus topology combines the features of a star topology with a linear bus topology. It combines the network extension features of the bus topology with the simplicity and fault tolerance of the star topology.
what advantage does the mesh topology have over the star and bus topo log?
Mesh topology is reliable and robust as failure of one link doesn't affect other links and the communication between other devices on the network. 3. Mesh topology is secure because there is a point to point link thus unauthorized access is not possible.
What Contains a single site acting as the central connection point for several other points?
Star Topology WAN
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 drawback does a single firewall configuration have this is corrected by a two firewall configuration?
Single point of failure
Which topology provides each device with a point to point connection to every other device in the network?
star topology
What is network Star?
Star Topology is the most common type of network topology that is used in homes and offices. In the Star Topology there is a central connection point called the hub which is a computer hub or sometimes just a switch. In a Star Network the best advantage is when there is a failure in cable then only one computer might get affected and not the entire network.
