Star
Domain is client-server logical topology.
Client/server
star good luck on chapter 12!
There doesn't have to be; depends on whether it is a peer-to-peer or a client/server based network. The topology doesn't determine that.
Topology
Mesh Topology... though if you use a beefy-enough machine in the middle, a Star topology might work.
A star network uses a central server to route data between clients. The central server (or the switching hub) switches data around the network. Data flow between the server and the nodes will therefore be relatively low. A typical star network are mainframe computers. Star topology, also known as star network, is a computer network topology. It is a common network setup where the computers and other devices on the network are connected to a central or master computer, also known as the hub.
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
You need Star Topology with peripherals A Server, Hub, Cable and other equipment likes PC, Printer, Scanner etc... Best regard Zen
Well, that reminds me of my engineering course :) Well, it's a mesh topology. http://lc.netcomm.com.au/i/mesh.gif
The most common LAN topology is that of a "star." In a star topology, each computer, or "node", is connected to a central hub. This is more reliable than a more classical "ring" topology, because a node failing will not bring down the entire network. A bus topology is arguably more reliable, but has poorer performance.
