The document lists characteristics of different network topologies and asks the reader to match them to the correct topology. It describes topologies where if one computer or the backbone cable breaks the entire network goes down. It also describes the cheapest and easiest to create but slowest topology, and the most expensive to install but most secure topology where all computers share the same cable. The bonus round describes additional topology characteristics like being the most expensive to create but allowing easy expansion and error detection, relying on the main bus cable so the whole network is crippled if it breaks, withstanding high traffic by transmitting data simultaneously, and being difficult to set up and maintain.
Matching game
- 1. Match the following statements to correct topology ? If one computer breaks, entire network goes down ? Uses a hub/switch making it safe from viruses ? Data goes in one direction ? Cheapest and easiest to create ? The more computers attached, the slower it becomes ? If backbone cable breaks, entire network goes down ? The most expensive to install ? Least secure as all computers share same cable.
- 2. Bonus round ? Most expensive to create ? Expansion of Network is possible and easy ? Error detection and correction is easy. ? Because of its basic structure, relies heavily on the main bus cable, if it breaks whole network is crippled ? Data can be transmitted from different devices simultaneously. This topology can withstand high traffic ? If one segment is damaged, other segments are not affected. ? Set-up and maintenance of this topology is very difficult.
