Network Topology | MCQs

Explanation

Mesh topology is a type of networking where all nodes cooperate to distribute data amongst each other.

Explanation

 UAN is not a type of Computer Network.

UAN stands for Universal Area Network

Explanation

Network topology in which you connect each node to the network along a single piece of network cable is called bus topology.

Explanation

A passive topology means that devices on the network simply listen for signals and do not actively amplify or forward the signal along the network.

The Bus topology is a classic example of this.

Where data is transmitted directly on the shared cable without any intermediary device actively boosting the signal

Explanation

CSMA/CD is used in BUS topology to manage how devices share the communication line and avoid data collisions.

It listens before sending data and stops transmission if a collision is detected — ensuring efficient use of the medium.

Explanation

• In a Star Network Topology, each network node (computer, printer, etc.) is connected to a central device called a hub or switch.
• This central device acts as a connection point for all the nodes, and data transmission occurs through it. 
• This topology is called a star topology because the connections resemble a star, with the hub at the center and the nodes at the points.

Explanation

• A network that is used for sharing data, software, and hardware among several users owning microcomputers is called LAN
• ***
• LAN stands for local area network 
• ***
• LAN consists of a series of computers linked together to form a network in a circumscribed location.
• The computers in a LAN connection to each other via TCP/IP ethernet or Wi-Fi.
  
  

Explanation

Topology refers to the physical or logical arrangement of network devices and how they are interconnected.
