Q & A on Network Topologies,

Q: 1) Can a ring topology be used on Ethernet? If yes, how?

A: No, Ethernet uses a bus topology.

Q: 2) Would a pure ring or a star ring topology be easier to maintain and troubleshoot? Why?

A: Is this a homework problem?

Q: 3) What is the maximum distance (in meters and feet) a node can be from a hub without any repeaters in between?

The nominal length of a twisted pair segment is 100 meters; slightly longer wiring *may* work, depending on the amount of electrical noise in the environment and the exact type of cable.
