A network consists of seven computers and a network printer, all connected directly to one switch. Which network topology does this network use?

This network uses a star topology. In a star topology, all devices are connected separately to a central switch, which acts as a hub for data transmission.

The network topology used in this case is a "star topology." In a star topology, all devices (in this case, seven computers and a network printer) are connected directly to a central switch, forming a star-like shape.
