How do devices communicate in a bus topology?

Each device sends data directly to the destination device.

Data is transmitted along the shared cable and received by all devices.

Devices use a token to control access to the network.

Data is sent to a central device that forwards it to the destination.

What is a hybrid topology?

A topology that combines two or more different physical topologies

A topology that uses both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing

A topology that is both logical and physical

A topology that uses only wireless connections

Which scenario is an example of a hybrid topology?

A network where all devices connect to a single switch

A network where each device connects to every other device

A network where several star networks are connected by a common backbone cable

A network where devices are connected in a single closed loop

In a ring topology, how does data travel from one device to another?

Data is passed from device to device in a circular fashion until it reaches the destination.

Data is sent to a central hub that forwards it to the destination.

Data is sent directly to the destination device via a dedicated link.

Data is broadcast to all devices simultaneously.
