Introduction to Networking

You have a network that uses a logical bus topology. How do messages travel through the network?

Messages are broadcast to all devices connected to the network.

You have a network that uses a logical ring topology. How do messages travel through the network?

Messages travel from one device to the next until they reach the destination device.

Which of the following geographic network types is typically managed by a city as a public utility?

Metropolitan area network (MAN)

Your manager has asked you to implement a wired network infrastructure that will accommodate failed connections. You don't have a large budget, so you decide to provide redundancy for only a handful of critical devices. Which of the following network topologies should you implement?

Partial mesh

You've implemented a network where each device provides all other devices on the network with access to shared files. Which type of network do you have?

Peer-to-peer

Which of the following topologies connects each device to a neighboring device?

Ring

You have a small network that uses a switch to connect multiple devices. Which physical topology are you using?

Star

Which of the following topologies connects all devices to a trunk cable?

Bus

You've implemented a network where hosts are assigned specific roles, such as file sharing and printing roles. Other hosts access those resources, but they don't host services of their own.

Client-server

Your manager has asked you to implement a network infrastructure that will accommodate failed connections. Which of the following network topologies provides redundancy for a failed link?
