Your school wants to connect all computers in a new computer lab for sharing files and internet. Which network topology would you recommend and why?

Question

Accepted Answer

Star topology would be recommended. In a star topology, all computers connect to a central device (such as a switch), so if one computer's cable or connection fails, only that computer is affected and the rest of the lab's network keeps working. It is also fault-tolerant, simple to maintain, and makes it easy to add or remove computers for sharing files and internet without disrupting the whole network.
