CompTIA Network+ Practice Test for Subdomain 1.6 #03

By /

Welcome to today’s CompTIA Network+ practice test!

This practice test uses our new UI!

Today’s practice test is based on Subdomain 1.6 (Compare and contrast network topologies, architectures, and types) from the CompTIA Network+ N10-009 objectives.

This beginner-level practice test is inspired by the CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) exam and is designed to help you reinforce key networking concepts on a daily basis.

These questions are not official exam questions, nor are they brain dumps, but they reflect topics and scenarios relevant to the Network+ certification. Use them to test your knowledge, identify areas for improvement, and build daily cybersecurity habits.

CompTIA Network+ Practice Test of the Day 260608
10 questions • Single best answer
Question 1
A network designer at a consulting firm is documenting a client's office network. Every workstation connects to a central switch, and a failure of any single end-device does not disrupt connectivity for any other device on the network. Which topology is described?
    Question 2
    A critical infrastructure network design requires that every router maintain a direct physical connection to every other router, ensuring that no single device or link failure can isolate any part of the network. Which topology provides maximum redundancy at the highest cabling cost?
      Question 3
      A network engineer is designing a campus network with three distinct layers: access switches where endpoints connect, distribution switches that aggregate access traffic and enforce policies, and core switches that provide high-speed backbone connectivity between buildings. Which architecture is described?
        Question 4
        A cloud data center team deploys a network where every access (leaf) switch connects to every spine switch, ensuring uniform latency and predictable bandwidth for server-to-server east-west traffic. Which network architecture is being implemented?
          Question 5
          A network engineer is categorizing network types by geographic scope. The organization has connected multiple office buildings across a single metropolitan area using leased dark fiber. The network spans more than a LAN but is contained within one city. What network type is this?
            Question 6
            A network architect is reviewing legacy topology designs. One design uses a single shared cable to which all devices attach; a break anywhere in the cable segment completely disrupts communication for all connected devices. Which topology has this critical weakness?
              Question 7
              A service provider routes enterprise customer traffic across its backbone by attaching short fixed-length labels to packets at ingress. Subsequent routers make forwarding decisions based only on these labels rather than performing a full IP routing table lookup at every hop. Which technology is described?
                Question 8
                An enterprise IT team wants to replace traditional WAN routers with a solution that centralizes routing policy management in software and can dynamically choose the best path across multiple internet circuits, MPLS, and LTE connections based on real-time conditions. What technology should be deployed?
                  Question 9
                  A user connects a Bluetooth headset to a smartphone, forming a short-range wireless network between the two devices. The connection spans only a few meters and is specific to that individual user. Which network type does this describe?
                    Question 10
                    A network technician is reviewing documentation for a legacy token-ring network. Each device connects to exactly two neighbors, data travels in a single direction around the loop, and failure of any single device breaks communication for all other nodes. Which topology is described?
