An IT technician is deploying a local network for a small office using a physical star topology where all workstation nodes connect to a central Ethernet switch. Which of the following statements correctly describe the fundamental characteristics of this topology? (Select TWO.)
- A failure of the central switch breaks network communication for all connected devices on that segment.Cevap
- Adding or disconnecting an individual host cable does not disrupt traffic between the other active hosts.Cevap
- CEvery host on the network connects directly to every other host using dedicated point-to-point physical links.
- DAll hosts share a single continuous coaxial cable trunk terminated at both physical ends.
Cevap
A physical star topology is characterized by a central device acting as a single point of failure for the segment, and individual point-to-point cable runs that allow adding or removing nodes without disrupting remaining network traffic.
A star topology connects each host directly to a central node (such as a switch). Consequently, failure of that central node halts all traffic on the segment, while individual cable connections can be connected or disconnected without disrupting other hosts.
