topology Flashcards
is used to denote the arrangement of the
network devices in a computer network.
Network Topology`
A is designed with each node connected directly to a central device called as a network switch.
Star Topology
Advantages of Star Topology
Easy to install and wire.
No disruptions to the network when
connecting or removing devices.
Easy to detect faults and to remove parts.
Disadvantages of Star Topology
Requires more cable length than a bus topology.
all devices in the network are connected via a cable that loops in a logical
ring or circle.
RING Topology
ADVANTAGES OF RING TOPO
the signal
degeneration is low since each workstation participating in the
network is responsible for regenerating the weak signal.
Disadvantages of RING Topology
the failure of one device
in the network can cause the failure entire network.
A consists of a main run of cable with a terminator at each end.
bus topology
Advantages of Bus Topology
Requires less cable length than a star topology.
Disadvantages of BUS Topology
- Entire network shuts down if there is a break in the main cable.
A is a network setup where each computer and network device is interconnected
with one another.
mesh topology
each device on the network is connected together
FULL MESH TOPOLOGY
advantage in full-mesh topology
if any connection between two devices
failed, there is always an alternate path
Disadvantages of full-mesh topology
The cabling costs of full-mesh topology-based network can be very
high.
some of the devices are connected to many devices together, but other devices are connected only to one or two devices.
