Network Topologies Flashcards

A network topology where all devices are connected to a central hub or switch.

A network topology where devices are interconnected, allowing multiple paths for data to travel.

Easy to add/remove devices, centralised management, and failure of one device does not affect others.

If the central hub or switch fails, the entire network goes down.

Highly reliable as there are multiple paths for data, and it can handle high traffic effectively.

Expensive to set up due to the large number of connections and complex maintenance.

The device that manages communication between all connected devices in a star topology.

Mesh topology provides data redundancy by offering multiple paths for data transmission.

Star topology is scalable as devices can be added easily without affecting the network.

Mesh topology is complex to set up and maintain due to the large number of connections.
