Network topology and navigation devices review

In the ___ topology, all network devices are connected together through a central switch

Star

___ transmit signals only to the devices that need to receive them

Switches

A _ transfers data between collision domains

Bridge

Connecting computers in a line on a single cable is called _ topology

Bus

In a _ topology, all computers are connected in a line on a single cable run

Bus

CSMA/CD

Data collision avoidance method

Which of the following statements about a ring topology is TRUE

Data only flows in one direction

Switch

Directs signals to the intended device

A repeated moves data between two networks

False

In the bus topology, only the device for which a signal is intended can hear the sent data signal

False

The main advantage of ring topology is that the failure of one computer does not affect entire network

False

All of the following are problems with the bus topology EXCEPT

It is more expensive than star topology

Node

Network device

The purpose of a token in a token ring network is to

Prevent data collisions from occuring

Ethernet

Protocol most commonly used on star networks

The _ topology uses token to control data transmisssion

Ring

A _ sends data between two networks

Router

Token

Special data packets

The physical arrangement of computers, peripherals, and media used to create a network is called network

Topology

In the ring topology, a device grabs the token when it needs to send data

True

In the ring topology, data flows around the circle in one direction only

True

All of the following are navigation devices to move data around or between networks except

spans

All of the following are network topologies EXCEPT
