Which network topology design has a centralized switch connecting all of the devices?

Answer Options

A

Star topology

B

Full-mesh topology

C

Partial-mesh topology

D

Hybrid topology

Correct Answer: A

Explanation

A star topology has a centralized switch connecting all of the devices outward like a star. A full-mesh topology allows for a decentralized switching design, where any link failure will not affect switching. A partial-mesh topology is normally performed between the layers of core, distribution, and access to allow for a single link failure while maintaining switching services. A hybrid topology is where several different topologies are employed, such as star and mesh.
