Which network topology layout connects adjacent devices in a continuous line with no central controller, terminating cleanly at two distinct endpoints? MCQ with Answer and Explanation
Which network topology layout connects adjacent devices in a continuous line with no central controller, terminating cleanly at two distinct endpoints?
A. Mesh Topology
B. Star Topology
C. Ring Topology
D. Linear Bus Topology
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
A linear bus topology links all nodes in a sequential chain along a single cable path that features endpoints at both ends.
What happens on a shared data network using a Bus Topology layout if a data frame reaches either extreme physical endpoint without encountering a terminator component?
A.The signal bounces back along the cable, creating interference that corrupts ongoing network traffic.
B.The data frame is safely archived on the primary server.
C.The signal transforms into an analog wave profile.
D.The data frame loops back through the local host interface automatically.
Explanation:
While a standard Class C block contains 256 total addresses, the first address (network ID) and last address (broadcast address) are reserved, leaving 254 usable host slots.
