In local area network architecture, which topology connects all network nodes directly to a central hub or switch?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Star topology
- Step 1: In a star topology, each computer communicates through dedicated point-to-point links to a central multiport switch. Step 2. If a single workstation cable breaks, only that station is disconnected, leaving the rest of the network operational. Answer: Star topology. Why not the others: In bus topology, a shared backbone cable can fail entirely; ring passes tokens in a loop; mesh interconnects all nodes to all nodes.
