This sounds like a homework question.....hmmmm. Anyway- if there's a break in a bus topology, the nodes that are downstream from the break are cut-off from the rest of the network. In a ring topology, the nodes on both sides of the break will loop the path (self-healing) back towards the ring, so every node is still communicating with each other.
what type of cable would you used to create a ring topology?
Mesh topology- a cable at fault not affect others. Ring topology- a cable at fault, only affect side by side, If main cable at fault ,whole system shut down. Star topology- a cable at fault, others are not affected. If Hub at fault, whole system shut down. Bus topology- main cable at fault, system will shut down. a cable at fault,will not affect others.
Bus Topology.
its called a cable
The networking topology that is difficult to reconfigure and where a break can disable the entire network is the bus topology. In this configuration, all devices are connected to a single central cable, or "bus," which carries data signals. If there is a break or failure in the bus, it can disrupt communication for all devices connected to it, making troubleshooting and reconfiguration more challenging compared to other topologies.
The network topology where all devices are connected to the same cable is known as a bus topology. In this setup, all nodes share the same communication line, allowing data to be transmitted along the cable. While bus topology is simple and cost-effective, it can lead to performance issues and difficulties in troubleshooting, as a failure in the main cable can disrupt the entire network.
Star topology is like the network is done by easily adding another network and the most common cable is used unshielded twisted pair cable. For the star topology purpose, Cat5 and Cat6 cable is used because it is an unshielded and shielded twisted pair cable.
physical topology support multiple logical topology because quality and speed of cable wires effect efficiency of network
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.
Wireless.
The network topology that features one central cable with terminators at each end is known as a bus topology. In this configuration, all devices are connected to a single linear cable, known as the bus, which facilitates communication among them. This topology is relatively easy to set up and cost-effective for small networks, but it can suffer from collision issues and is less reliable than other topologies, as a failure in the central cable can disrupt the entire network.
