28.
A) Topology refers to the way in which the workstations attached to the
network are interconnected.
Advantages of Tree Topology:
Scalability: The network can be easily expanded by adding more devices or branches. (2)
Centralized Management: The root node allows for centralized control and easy
network management.
Fault Isolation: Issues in one branch do not affect the rest of the network, simplifying
troubleshooting.
Point-to-Point Connections: Devices have dedicated connections, reduced data
collisions and improving performance.
Disadvantages of Tree Topology:
Dependency on Root Node: The network's functionality relies on the root node, and its
failure can disrupt the entire network.
Page: 3/11
Cost: Implementing tree topology can be expensive, especially for larger networks.

Complex Cabling: As the network grows, the cabling can become more
complex and difficult to manage.

OR
