DRAG DROP -
Match the networking topologies to their corresponding characteristics.
To answer, drag the appropriate topology from the column on the left to its characteristic on the right. Each topology may be used once, more than once, or not at all. Each correct match is worth one point.
Select and Place:
* Star
In star topology, every node (computer workstation or any other peripheral) is connected to a central node called a hub or switch.
* Ring
Each device present in Ring Topology is incorporated with a REPEATER.
* Mesh
Fully connected mesh topology:
A fully connected network is a communication network in which each of the nodes is connected to each other.
* Star
In star topology, every node (computer workstation or any other peripheral) is connected to a central node called a hub or switch.
* mesh (full)
The major disadvantage is that the number of connections grows quadratically with the number of nodes,as per the formula: c=n(n-1)/2
* Ring
Ring Topology: In this type of Topology, data is passed from one node to another in a series. Here each device has dedicated Point-to-Point connection, with only two devices present on either side of it.
Second-to-last should be Ring.
The statement should probably read "The number of connections on each computer equals the total number of computers minus one." If you count the number of connections on any given computer there are 5 with the example drawing showing 6 computers. So basically with the six computers each computer would have 5 computers that it may want to talk to. The answer is correct
Im sorry but this question is dumb. The second to last one is supposedly mesh, but then the description down below is literally the exact opposite. The number of connections for one node is less than the total nodes sure. But the number of connections in total is way more than the number of nodes. Thats why its redundant.
It is well explained, that's how it's explained in the book...
I understand what you are saying, and it doesn't make sense, but just figured it out. It should be Star. Although you only have 5 computers and 1 central connection device, that central connection device is still considered a computer. So you have a total of 6 devices and only 5 connections. "The number of connections equals the total number of computers minus one is Star.
second to last is mesh. In the example there is a total of 6 computers. 1 computer connects to 5 computers except itself (total number of devices minus 1).
(MESH) The number of network connections that each computer will need is the total number of computers minus one.
the correct answers are : Bus Ring Mesh Star Mesh Ring
This threw me too, but I now understand that the second to last question is misleading. I agree with openman98's explanation.
