In a ring topology with 5 devices, if one device fails, what happens to the network communication?
medium📝 Analysis Q13 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand ring topology communication
Devices are connected in a closed loop; data passes through each device.Step 2: Analyze failure impact
If one device fails, the loop breaks, stopping communication for all devices.Final Answer:
The entire network communication is disrupted -> Option DQuick Check:
One failure breaks ring loop = disruption [OK]
Quick Trick: Ring breaks if one device fails [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Assuming only failed device loses connection
- Thinking ring has a backup path like mesh
- Confusing with star topology behavior
