What is the best way to integrate multiple star topologies together onto a network?

Correct answer: B. Bus

  • A. Presentation
  • B. Bus
  • C. Transport
  • D. Bridge

Explanation

A bus topology uses a single central cable to which all devices are connected. This central cable acts as a shared medium for all devices on the network. When a device transmits data on the bus, all other devices on the bus can see the data. In integrating multiple star networks, each star network connects to the bus, forming a larger network structure.Here are some of the advantages of using a bus topology to integrate star networks:● Scalability: Bus networks can be easily scaled by adding more devices to the central cable. This makes them a good choice for networks that are expected to grow over time.● Simplicity: Bus networks are relatively simple to set up and maintain.● Cost-effective: Bus networks can be less expensive to implement than other network topologies, such as mesh topologies.However, there are also some disadvantages to using a bus topology:● Performance: The performance of a bus network can degrade as more devices are added to the network. This is because all devices on the bus share the same bandwidth.● Security: Because all devices on the bus can see all data traffic, bus networks are less secure than some other network topologies.Fault tolerance: If the central cable fails, all devices on the network will be unable to communicate
