ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

When designing a campus LAN expected to expand from four to eight departments over the next three years, the architect proposes a tree (hierarchical) topology that links multiple star-wired floors to core switches. Which primary advantage of this topology justifies the recommendation over a single flat star design?

  • It removes the need for any routing or segmentation devices because all nodes share a single broadcast domain.

  • It simplifies scalability, allowing new star segments to be added without redesigning the entire network.

  • It minimizes cabling costs by using one shared backbone cable for every device on the network.

  • It provides full path redundancy by default, eliminating single points of failure across all layers.
