Which topology does not use ARCNET protocoll
Correct answer: C. Star
- A. Bus
- B. Mesh
- C. Star
- D. Tree
Explanation
ARCNET uses a bus topology. In a bus topology, all devices are connected to a single cable. A token is passed around the bus, and only the device with the token can transmit data. This prevents collisions, which can occur in Ethernet networks, where multiple devices can try to transmit data at the same time.Star topology is also not compatible with ARCNET protocol for the same reason. In a star topology, all devices are connected to a central hub or switch. This creates a loop in the network, which can cause problems with ARCNET
