Yes, a physical topology can support multiple logical topologies.
1. logical topology 2. Physical topology 3. star toplogy
The physical connection is layer 1 of the OSI model, and is the medium through which the data is transfered. i.e., cables The logical connection is layer 3 of the OSI model, and is the network portion. Using the Internetwork Protocol (IP), each host is assigned a 32 bit IP address. e.g. 192.168.1.1
Network topologies is the means in which a network is structured. There are two types being physical and logical. Logical topology shows how data is delivered between a network.
physical topology support multiple logical topology because quality and speed of cable wires effect efficiency of network
bus topology, ring topology
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.
Logical topologies consist of virtual connections between nodes.
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.
The logical topology for a LAN refers to how devices communicate with each other through the network. It defines the path data takes from one device to another, regardless of the physical layout of the network. Common logical topologies include bus, ring, star, and mesh.
A network or the network's layout. How different nodes in a network are connected to each other and how they communicate are determined by the network's topology. Topologies are either physical or logical. Below are diagrams of the five most common network topologies.
it is the physical & logical arringment is called topology
