The Active topology functionally allow you to make element inactive (and chnage them back active again).
Tree Topology allows for the expansion of an existing network

The physical network topology that has the inherent weakness of a single point of failure is the star topology. In a star topology, all devices are connected to a central hub or switch. If this central device fails, the entire network becomes inoperable, as all communication relies on it. This makes the network vulnerable to disruptions if the hub experiences any issues.
The physical topology that operates around a central network device is known as a star topology. In this configuration, all network devices are connected to a central hub, switch, or router, which facilitates communication between them. This design enhances reliability, as the failure of one connection does not affect the entire network, though the central device's failure can lead to network disruption. Star topology is commonly used in home and office networks due to its simplicity and ease of management.
Topology
yes, network topology does matter to design a network. as we know that topology is a structure of network. without a topology network cannot be designed. we have to consider which topology to use and what does each topology does. different topology have its different features. if you want most secure connection use full mesh topology
Token Ring is an active topology - each packet must be recreated as it goes from client to client.
The arrangement of computers on a network is called topology. It describes how the individual computers are connected to each other and to the network.examples of topology are Star topology, ring topology, mesh topology, bus topology.
The conclusion of network topology is to ensure that the system is working as required. Topology refers to the physical wiring process in a network.
Network topology is the arrangement of the various components that make up the structure of a computer network. Network topology may be depicted in a physical or logical manner.
what do you understand by topology of network
Ring Network Topology
bus topology
Any topology can be used for a peer-to-peer network. The easiest is probably a star topology but it doesn't have to be.
