Zorluk: KolayNetwork Topologies and Types

A network technician is setting up a office layout where eight client computers connect directly to a central network switch via individual Ethernet cables. If one cable breaks, only the device connected to that specific cable loses network access. Which physical network topology is implemented in this scenario?

  1. Star topologyCevap
  2. B
    Bus topology
  3. C
    Ring topology
  4. D
    Mesh topology

Cevap

Star topology
In a physical star topology, all network endpoints connect directly to a central network hub or switch. This arrangement isolates link failures so that a broken cable affects only the connected workstation.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the physical cabling configuration described in the scenario.
Each workstation connects directly to a central network switch via individual point-to-point links.
Centralized node connection is the defining physical characteristic of a star topology.
2
Evaluate the impact of a single link failure.
A single damaged cable affects only the host attached to it, leaving all other devices connected to the switch unaffected.
Star topologies isolate point-to-point cable faults to individual endpoints.
