Topologies
Question 1 |
Physical topology of FDDI is?
Bus | |
Ring | |
Star | |
None of the above |
Question 1 Explanation:
Fiber Distributed Data Interface
FDDI provides a 100 Mbit/s optical standard for data transmission in local area network that can extend in range up to 200 kilometers (120 mi). Although FDDI logical topology is a ring based token network, it did not use the IEEE 802.5 token ring protocol as its basis; instead, its protocol was derived from the IEEE 802.4 token bus timed token protocol.
In addition to covering large geographical areas, FDDI local area networks can support thousands of users. FDDI offers both a Dual-Attached Station (DAS), counter-rotating token ring topology and a Single-Attached Station (SAS), token bus passing ring topology.

Question 2 |
If there are n devices (nodes) in a network, what is the number of cable links required for a fully connected mesh and a star topology respectively
n(n−1)/ 2, n−1 | |
n, n−1 | |
n−1, n | |
n−1, n(n −1)/2 |
Question 2 Explanation:
→ Fully connected mesh we can also called complete graph. So, it has total number of cable links with n nodes are n(n-1)/2
→ In a star topology total number of cable links are (n-1)
→ In a star topology total number of cable links are (n-1)
Question 3 |
In which of the topology, each device has a dedicated point-to-point link to a central controller?
Mesh | |
Bus | |
Ring | |
Star |
Question 3 Explanation:
→ In a star topology, each device has a dedicated point-to-point link only to a central controller, usually called a hub.
→ The devices are not directly linked to one another.
→ The devices are not directly linked to one another.
Question 4 |
A____is a communication pathway connecting two or more devices. Another of its key characteristics is that it is a shared transmission medium. A signal transmitted by any one device is available for reception by all other devices attached to it.
Train | |
Bus | |
Tram | |
Aeroplane |
Question 4 Explanation:
A bus is a communication system that transfers data between components inside a computer, or between computers.
