Flashcards do conjunto (8)
- 1What is a topology?Topology refers to the layout of network components. It is about the positioning of the nodes and cables and there are three general layouts.
- 2What are the three main topologies used?Ring, Star and bus topologies.
- 3What are the advantages of a ring topology?Very fast / no collisions
- 4What are the advantages of a bus topology?easy to set up / cheap
- 5What are the advantages of a star topology?Robust and reliable / fewer data collisions than bus
- 6What are the disadvantages of a ring topology?Problems with the backbone can bring the whole network down
Data passes through every node / this makes the network vulnerable to malfunctions - 7What are the disadvantages of a bus topology?problems with the back bone can bring the whole network down
limited distance can be covered
many data collisions slow the network down - 8What are the disadvantages of a star topology?needs more expertise to maintain
can be expensive to set up because more building work involved and more network hardware and software needed
