Switched backbone networks:
A)always use a ring topology
B)are the least common type of BN used in one building
C)use a star topology with one device, usually a switch
D)have a great deal of cable in their backbones
E)tend to have less cable, but more network devices

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Switched backbone networks typically use a star topology with one device, usually a switch, at the center. This allows for easy management and troubleshooting of the network. The other choices are not accurate: A is incorrect because ring topologies are not common in switched backbone networks, B is incorrect because switched backbone networks can be used in any size building, D is incorrect because a great deal of cable is not necessarily required, and E is incorrect because switched backbones are designed to have fewer network devices than other types of LANs.
