Even the smallest LAN technically has a backbone, which could be any of the 4 basic topology types. Any time you need to connect various routers, switches, etc., together you connect them via a backbone cable.

A backbone may have its own topology as well,such as a serial bus, parallel, distributed, or collapsed backbone. These topologies do not exactly mirror topologies for a LAN or a WAN.

Where bus topology used?

Bus topology is used on a LAN, or a Local Area Network. It is the cable to which the nodes connect, and it is also known as a backbone.


Which type of network topology uses terminator?

Bus


Does a bus topology connect all devices to a common backbone?

Yes, a bus topology connects all devices in a network to a single communication line, known as the backbone. Each device taps into this backbone to send and receive data, which allows for a straightforward and cost-effective network setup. However, if the backbone fails, the entire network goes down, making it less reliable than other topologies.

Which topology uses a central device for point-to-point connections to other devices?

A star topology; a network topology in which endpoints on a network are connected to a common central device by point-to-point links.


What is starBus topology?

Star bus topology is a network configuration that combines elements of both star and bus topologies. In this setup, all devices are connected to a central hub or switch (like in a star topology), while the data is transmitted along a single backbone cable (like in a bus topology). This design allows for improved performance and easier troubleshooting, as issues can often be isolated to individual connections. However, if the backbone cable fails, it can disrupt the entire network.


What is the function of network 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


What network topology has a back bone that uses a router or switch as the sigle central connection point for multiple subnetworks?

Such topology is called star.


What type of topology uses tokens?

Token ring uses star topology . The data token is being passed from one computer to other allowing all the computer to have network access and avoids data collision.


SONET uses which topology?

SONET use RING physical topology and TOKEN logical topology. As simple as that. Logical topology deals with the data transmission. Physical topology deals with how the network is connected physically , BUS, RING, STAR and the like.
