Zorluk: OrtaNetwork Types and Topologies

A network technician is documenting network topology characteristics and cable termination requirements for a company upgrade. Match each network topology classification to the physical or logical behavior that accurately defines its operation.

  • Physical StarAll endpoints attach independently to a central switch, isolating individual cable failures to a single node.
  • Physical BusEndpoints connect along a shared linear coaxial trunk cable that requires terminating resistors at both ends to prevent signal reflection.
  • Physical Full MeshEvery node maintains a dedicated point-to-point link to every other node, requiring n(n1)2\frac{n(n-1)}{2} physical connections for nn nodes.
  • Logical RingData tokens are transmitted sequentially from node to node in a continuous loop pattern, independent of physical cable layout.

Cevap

Physical Star matches endpoints connecting independently to a central switch; Physical Bus matches endpoints connecting along a shared linear trunk cable requiring terminating resistors; Physical Full Mesh matches every node maintaining a dedicated point-to-point link to every other node using n(n1)2\frac{n(n-1)}{2} connections; Logical Ring matches data tokens transmitting sequentially from node to node in a continuous loop pattern.
Each physical topology defines specific media routing and node connection mechanisms. A Physical Star isolates faults at a central switch. A Physical Bus relies on a shared backbone media requiring terminators at both ends to prevent signal reflection. A Physical Full Mesh establishes dedicated point-to-point links between all nodes calculated by n(n1)2\frac{n(n-1)}{2}. A Logical Ring defines how data tokens circulate sequentially between nodes regardless of physical wire arrangement.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Physical Star characteristics.
Identified that devices run dedicated links to a central central device (switch/hub), isolating single line faults.
Star topology uses point-to-point connections from each endpoint to a central device.
2
Analyze Physical Bus characteristics.
Identified reliance on a shared backbone cable requiring terminators at both ends to stop signal reflections.
Bus topologies use a single main cable segment where improper termination collapses the entire collision domain.
3
Analyze Physical Full Mesh link requirements.
Calculated total connections as n(n1)2\frac{n(n-1)}{2}, confirming direct redundant links between all nodes.
Full mesh topology requires every node to have a dedicated connection to every other node in the network.
4
Distinguish logical ring behavior from physical layout.
Matched sequential data token transmission in a loop pattern regardless of physical cable routing.
Logical topology describes signal pathways and token movement rather than physical cable layout.
