Deine the topology and explain the advantage and disadantage of bus star and ring topology?

Answer 1

Topology is the structure that describes how devices in a Network are connected.

Bus Topology: Directly connects all devices to network i.e utilises a single Physical medium for Data transmission between devices.

Star Topology: Connects all devices in network through a Central Network connecting device such as Hubs & Switches.

Advantage of Bus Topology is that less connecting cable is used.

Advantage of Star Topology is that Network can function in case one or more devices fail.

Disadvantage of Bus Topology is that whole Network goes down if one device fails.

Disadvantage of Star Topology is that it requires physical connecting medium from Central device to the connecting device i.e more expensive.
