What is the central device in a star topology called?
- Node
- Router
- Hub
- Switch
Which of the following best describes a star topology?
- All devices are connected in a circular loop.
- Devices are connected in a linear chain.
- All devices are connected to a central hub.
- Devices are connected in a mesh-like pattern.
In a star topology, if one device fails, what happens to the rest of the network?
- The entire network becomes inaccessible.
- All devices in the network also fail.
- The network continues to function, unaffected by the failure of a single device.
- The network experiences significant performance issues.
Which type of cable is commonly used to connect devices in a star topology?
- Coaxial cable
- Fiber optic cable
- Ethernet cable
- USB cable
What is the main advantage of a star topology? (select two answers)
- Easy to add or remove devices without affecting other devices.
- High-speed data transmission.
- Lower cost compared to other topologies.
- Allows for decentralized control of the network.
Which device commonly manages the flow of data in a star topology?
- Modem
- Router
- Switch
- Server
What is the potential drawback of a star topology?
- Limited scalability.
- Complex wiring requirements.
- Heavy reliance on the central hub.
- Slower data transfer rates.
How does a star topology handle network congestion?
- It automatically reroutes data to avoid congestion.
- It slows down the data transmission for all devices.
- It can isolate congestion to specific devices while other devices remain unaffected.
- It requires manual intervention to resolve congestion issues.
Can a star topology support wireless connections?
- No, only wired connections are supported.
- Yes, all devices must have a wired connection.
- Yes, wireless connections can be used in addition to wired connections.
- Yes, but wireless connections are limited to a single device.
Which network topology is commonly used in home and small office environments?
- Bus topology
- Ring topology
- Star topology
- Mesh topology
