QuestionQ4

Network architecture design

A network architect needs to design a new branch network that satisfies these requirements:

  • No single point of failure
  • Clients must not be affected by changes to the underlying medium
  • Clients must be able to communicate directly to preserve bandwidth

Which of the following network topologies should the architect choose?

Explanation

A mesh topology connects nodes through redundant, direct paths. This eliminates reliance on a single central device, allows alternate paths when a link or node fails, and enables direct client-to-client communication that avoids consuming bandwidth through a hub. Cisco describes full-mesh designs as resilient to link or node failures.
