Want this question answered?
Network Topology decides how Devices on a Network will be interconnected. General used Topologies are BUS, RING & STAR Topologies.
Star, interconnected/extended star, mesh, ring and bush. a lot.
Star topologies. Sometimes combined topologies are used of which i have no idea!! :P
Ring, Star, Bus, Mesh.
Ring, Star, Bus, Mesh.
-Media segment failure does not affect the whole network -They can be implemented on internetworks using routers -They combine a mesh topology with earlier the bus, star, or ring topologies -They are used on the internet
Network Topology refers to the way that cables and other pieces of hardware connect to one another. There are four common "base" types of topologies: bus, ring, star, and mesh. There are other types as well, but these are referred to as "hybrid topologies." The most commonly used network topology is a hybrid topology called the Star Bus Topology.
Star topology is a term used in network design that essentially means that machines in a network are placed into a structure oriented solely around a single functioning hub. This can be problematic because star topologies contain a single failure dilemma. Star topologies are mostly useful for smaller physical locations in an overall network.
There are two basic categories of network topologies Physical topologies Logical topologies The shape of the cabling layout used to link devices is called the physical topology of the network. Logical topology is the way the signals act in the network In BUS topology you have "THE LINEAR BUS" and "THE DISTRIBUTED BUS" IN the LINEAR bus all the nodes of the network are connected to a common transmission medium which has 2 end points where as in the DISTRIBUTED, all the nodes are connected to a common transmission medium which has more than 2 end points.
It is only used at Layer 2. It eliminates Layer 2 loops in network topologies.
star topology. Because they include a centralized connection point; can easily be moved, isolated, or interconnected with other networks; they are, therefore, scalable. For this reason, and because of their fault tolerance, the star topology has become the most popular layout used in contemporary LANs.
Typically, you would not need a bridge for a home office. Bridges are used connect two different networks and network topologies.
