CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 44
A network technician has created a network that consists of a router, a firewall, a switch, and several PCs. Which of the following physical network topologies was created?
Answer options
- A. Star
- B. Mesh
- C. Ring
- D. Bus
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D, Bus, because a bus topology uses a single central cable to connect all devices in the network. In contrast, a Star topology connects devices to a central hub, a Mesh topology connects each device to every other device, and a Ring topology connects devices in a circular fashion.
