CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 107

A company's network is set up so all Internet-bound traffic from all remote offices exits through a main datacenter. Which of the following network topologies would
BEST describe this setup?

Answer options

• A. Bus
• B. Spine-and-leaf
• C. Hub-and-spoke
• D. Mesh

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Hub-and-spoke topology is the correct answer because it centralizes traffic through a single hub, in this case, the main datacenter, while remote offices act as spokes. The other options do not accurately reflect this centralized routing; for instance, a mesh topology involves direct connections between all nodes, which does not align with the described setup.
