What are some characteristics of the star topology?

Most popular physical LAN topology used today. The Ethernet switch is in the center of the star and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables run from the switch ports to the client and back. It uses more cables than the other topologies because each device requires its own wiring to the central device. If one of the cables breaks it only affects the device its connected to not the entire group.

Which of the following LAN topologies requires the most cabling?

A) Bus B) Ring C) Star D) WLAN

Which of all the Network Topologies is the least fault tolerant and why?

A bus network requires only a single cable per segment. If any device in the segment fails, then the whole segment crashes.

What are the characteristics of a Full- Mesh topology?

Offers the highest level of redundancy. Each site is directly connected to every other site so an optimal route exists between any two sites. It is also highly fault resistant. It is difficult and expensive to scale, because to add a new site requires a WAN link to every other site.

Which of the following topologies offers the highest level of redundancy?

A) Full Mesh B) Hub & Spoke C) BUS D) Partial Mesh

How to calculate the number of required WAN connections for a Full-Mesh topology?

Example: If you have 5 remote sites W= number of WAN links N = number of sites W=n * (n-1) / 2 w = 5 * (5-1) / 2 (4 / 2) w = 5 * 2 w = 10 Ans: 10 WAN links are required 5 there & 5

back

How many WAN links are required to create a full mesh of connections between 5 remote sites? A) 5 B) 10 C) 15 D) 20

How does the Hub and Spoke topology differ from the Full-Mesh topology?

Costs are reduced because each site is connected to a central hub, not to each other so a small amount of links are needed. It’s also more scalable because to add another site only requires a connection to the hub. It also lacks redundancy because every site goes through the central Hub so it becomes a single point of failure. If the hub is down so is the network.

Identify two advantages of a hub-and-spoke WAN topology as compared to a Full-Mesh WAN topology? (Pick 2)

A) Lower Cost B) Optimal Routes C) More scalable D) More redundancy

What are the characteristics of a Peer-to- peer network?

Used for small or home based businesses, less than 10 PC’s. It allows all interconnected devices to share resources like files, and printers. Inexpensive network to run, limited scalability.

Which type of network is based on clients sharing resources with one another?

A) Client-server B) Client- peer C) Peer-to-peer D) Peer-to-server

Which of the following is an advantage of a peer–to-peer network, as compared with a client-server network?

A) More scalable B) Less expensive C) Better performance D) Simplified administration

What is a Server?

A server, serves up resources to a network. These resources might include e-mail access, (as provided by an e-mail server) web pages (as provided by a web server) or files (available on a file server)

What is a Hub?

It is a device that interconnects network components, such as clients, and servers. Hubs vary in their number of available ports. Hubs can be interconnected to a point. Too many hubs chained together will result in network errors. A hub does not perform any inspection of the traffic it passes. It receives traffic through a port that’s connected to a network cable then it repeats that traffic out of all the other ports.
