Question

Using a switch rather than a hub on a traditional ethernet lan segment

a. essentially creates a logical bus topology out of a the more traditional and slower star network.
b. essentially creates a logical star topology out of the more traditional and slower bus network.

Answer 1

Answer: essentially creates a logical star topology out of the more traditional and slower bus network.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bus topology is a kind of ethernet connection where one cable known as the backbone is responsible for all the connections, therefore a failure at any point results in the failure of the whole system. Whereas a star topology which is commonly used connect several device in a network to one central device.

The hub is outdated so also is the bus network, while the star and the switch are in common use now.
