Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Topologies determine not only how devices are connected to each other, but also how they access the media they use for communication. A topology is both physical and logical. A traditional star topology is configured such that a central controlling device has other networked devices connected to it by point-to-point circuits. A ring topology uses a single cable such that the cable ends meet and form a closed loop. IBM also introduced the token ring protocol, which is associated with the ring topology. The bus topology, like the ring, views its circuit as a single cable. Unlike the ring, the cable does not form a closed loop. Devices connect to the central cable, using it as a communications pipeline. The protocol most often associated with the bus topology is Ethernet.
