It could be star or bus, but historically, coax cable was used in bus architecture.
In a bus topology, messages travel along a single central cable, known as the bus, which connects all devices in the network. When a device wants to send a message, it broadcasts the data onto the bus, and the message travels in both directions along the cable. Each device on the network checks the incoming data and accepts the message if it is addressed to it; otherwise, it ignores it. This method allows for efficient communication, but if the bus cable fails, the entire network can go down.
The LAN topology that involves the network cable forming a single bus to which every workstation is attached is called the bus topology. In this setup, all devices share a single communication line, and data travels in both directions along the bus. The main advantage of bus topology is its simplicity and ease of installation, but it can be prone to collisions and performance issues as more devices are added. Additionally, if the main cable fails, the entire network goes down.
A key feature of a bus topology is that all devices are connected to a single central cable, known as the bus, which transmits data between them. This setup allows for easy installation and requires less cabling compared to other topologies. However, if the main cable fails, the entire network goes down, making it less reliable. Additionally, performance can degrade with an increasing number of devices due to data collisions.
In a bus topology, the purpose of a terminator is to absorb signals at both ends of the bus cable, preventing them from bouncing back and causing network interference. Without terminators, signals could reflect back along the bus, leading to data collisions and communication errors. By ensuring proper signal termination, terminators help maintain the integrity of data transmission across the network.
The bus cable to which computers on the Ethernet is connected is called the trunk. If the trunk breaks, a bus topology is completely disrupted.

A bus topology needs a trunk cable, which is a high speed central cable to which all the nodes can be connected. If the trunk cable breaks down, however, the whole network comes to a halt.
If you are using a crossover cable, simply assign static IP's to each machine (192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3). If using regular network cable, you will need to use a network switch or hub to connect them together, still using the static IP's for each machine.
IP phone lines work by transmitting phone signals through the cable lines, rather than through the traditional phone lines. The downside is that the phones are tied directly to the cable, and if one is out so is the other.
The Cisco switches I have seen don't have an IP address by default. You have to connect to the switch with a console cable - one that connects to the console port on the switch, and to the serial port on the computer - and do some initial configuration, including the IP address.The Cisco switches I have seen don't have an IP address by default.
