WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY?
Linear bus topology - uses long cable, referred to as a backbone, to which computers and other devices are attached. Easy installation , each cable needs to be connected with backbone cable, and Less Expensive/ Less cables are required than Mesh and star topology. Not scalable as there is a limit of how many nodes you can connect with backbone cable. A terminator is a placed at each end of the backbone to keep the signals from bouncing back and being received again by the nodes (such as server, clients, printer, scanner, etc.) in the network. Star topology - uses a central device called a hub, Unlike Mesh topology, star topology doesn’t allow direct communication between devices, a device must have to communicate through hub. ( a more efficient device called "switch" is also use) with cables extending in all directions. Each networked device is connected directly to the hub. Data from a computer passes through the h...
