Question

Select the correct statemen (s)

regarding LAN topologies.
a. physical and logical topologies must always be the same
b. the digital physical layer dictates the logical topology of a network
c. logical topologies define how network nodes communicate to one another despite their physical layer connections
d. all statements are correct

Answer 1

The correct answer is option c): logical topologies define how network nodes communicate to each other despite their physical connections.

Step-by-step explanation:

Selecting the correct statement(s) regarding LAN topologies involves understanding the differences between physical and logical network topologies.

Here is the clarification of the given statements:

• Physical and logical topologies do not have to be the same; they are often different because the physical layout of devices can be arranged in various ways while the logical topology refers to the data flow pattern.
• The digital physical layer does not dictate the logical topology of a network; the physical layer simply defines the electrical and physical specifications of the data connection.
• Logical topologies define how network nodes communicate to one another regardless of their physical connections and is typically how a network's data flow is mapped.

Considering these explanations, the correct answer is statement (c): Logical topologies define how network nodes communicate to one another despite their physical layer connections.
