Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 32 discussion

This is a bad question. Star is the answer just because its the most common. All the others are valid, but star is the BEST answer. The question should be reworded to provide clarity with that they are asking,

A star (hub-and- spoke) topology’s computers are connected to a central point with their own individual cables or wireless connections. You’ll often find that central spot inhabited by a device like a hub, a switch, or an access point.

Os swithes usam em seu modo de configuração topologias em estrelas e possuiem portas ethernet, logo, a linha D é a correcta.

The key word is “LAN” had they use “WAN” the better answer would have be “Mesh”…because they use LAN the Star Topology makes more sense…

Which of the following is the physical topology for an Ethernet LAN? A. Bus B. Ring C. Mesh D. Star ChatGPT said: ChatGPT For an Ethernet LAN, the physical topology is typically D. Star. In a star topology, each device on the network is connected to a central hub or switch. This is the most common physical topology used in modern Ethernet networks because it simplifies management and troubleshooting, and allows for easy expansion.

This question needs to either be completely reworded or just removed

n a star topology, each network device (such as computers, printers, or servers) is connected directly to a central device, typically a switch or hub. All communication between devices on the network must pass through this central device. Ethernet LANs commonly use a star topology because it offers several advantages, including easy scalability, simplified troubleshooting, and the ability to isolate network issues to individual segments.

what a rubbish question so vague

What is Mesh? What about Mesh?

D. Star.

In a Star topology, all devices on the LAN are connected to a central hub or switch. The hub or switch acts as a central point for data transmission and reception. Each device on the LAN has a dedicated connection to the hub or switch, and data is transmitted between devices through the hub or switch.

Wouldn’t it be a point-to-point?

My network has more than one switch. Hard to call that a star...

- The physical topology for an Ethernet local area network (LAN) is typically a star topology. In a star topology, all devices are connected to a central device, such as a switch, which acts as a relay for communication between devices. - Most Ethernet networks today use a star topology, as it provides more flexibility and reliability compared to bus topologies, while still being relatively simple and cost-effective to implement.

Star Topology ▪ Most popular physical LAN topology ▪ Devices connect to a single point ▪ Commonly used with Ethernet cabling, but wireless or fiber is also used ▪ If the central device fails, the entire network fails -Jason Dion-

It's a! Star is a logical topology for Ethernet LANs, but it is not a physical topology. Star topology refers to the way devices are connected logically in a network, with all devices connecting to a central hub or switch. In a physical star topology, devices are physically connected to a central switch, creating a network that is both easy to manage and provides good performance
