CompTIA Network+: Network Types

If a single link between system A and system B were to fail in a full mesh network with 5 nodes, how would it affect overall communications on the network?

All communication among all nodes would still be possible

Based on the graphic, if node 1 of this ring network topology goes down, what happens to communication on the rest of the network?

All nodes will lose connectivity

In a star network topology, by which means do systems connect to each other?

All systems connect to a central connection device

A hybrid network topology is created by combining which other topologies?

Any combination of two or more topologies of any type

Which statement best characterizes the purpose and functionality of a virtual switch?

It allows virtual machines to communicate with the other systems on the real network
