Computer Networks - Network Fundamentals
A network uses a hybrid topology combining star and ring. If the ring part fails, what happens to the star segments connected to it?
A network uses a hybrid topology combining star and ring. If the ring part fails, what happens to the star segments connected to it?
hard📝 Application Q9 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand hybrid topology structure
Star segments connect to a ring backbone; ring failure breaks backbone communication.Step 2: Analyze impact of ring failure on star segments
Star segments lose connection to other parts because ring is the main link.Final Answer:
Star segments lose connection to the rest of the network -> Option CQuick Check:
Ring failure isolates star segments [OK]
Quick Trick: Ring failure cuts off connected star segments [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Assuming star segments work independently
- Thinking data reroutes automatically
- Confusing with mesh topology
