Select an advantage of bus topologyEasy to connect a computer or peripheral to a linear busEntire network shuts down if there is a break down in the main cableDifficult to identify the problem if the entire network shuts downTerminators are required at both ends of the backbone cable

What are the disadvantages of having Bus topology?Requires less cable length than star topologyIf the hub or concentrator fails, nodes attached are disabledTerminators are required at both ends of the backbone cableEntire network shuts down if there is a break down in main cableEasy to install and wire

Select a disadvantage of star topologyEasy to instal and wireNo distruptions to the network then connecting or removing divicesRequires more cable length than linear topologyEasy to detect faults and to remove parts
