Question 1

Is a single line of devices connected together by one shared network cable.
Coaxial cable, thinnet.

Answer 1

Bus Topology

Question 2

Each node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for signals through each node. Nodes connected to each other with a backbone cable that loops around and ends at the same point it started.

Answer 2

Ring Topology

Question 3

Each device is only connected to the central switch. Huh or switch in center. All device-to-device communication is sent through the switch at the center of the network and then forwarded by the switch to proper destination.

Answer 3

Star Topology

Question 4

Connects every node to every other node in the network. Typically used where communication within a network must be highly available and redundancy is needed.
