    The key takeaways are that there are different types of network topologies including star, client-server, and peer-to-peer. A star topology connects all devices to a central hub/switch. An extranet allows sharing of information with business partners and suppliers.

    The different types of network topologies discussed are star topology, client-server topology, and peer-to-peer topology.

    Some advantages of star topology are that it is easy to install and wire, has no disruptions when connecting or removing devices, and is easy to detect faults. Some disadvantages are that it requires more cable length, a failure of the hub disables connected nodes, and it is more expensive due to hub costs.

    Networks
    Network topology is the layout pattern of interconnections of the nodes of a computer network. LAN = Local Area Network
    Within four walls

    WAN = Wide Area Network


    Multi location network connected using telecommunication network (e.g. telephone lines)

    Physical and Logical


    The physical topology of a network refers to the configuration of cables, computers, and other peripherals. The logical topology of a network refers to the method used to pass information between workstations.

    Topologies of Networks
    Types of Topology: There are mainly three ways to connect computers. Star Topology Client Server Topology Peer-to-Peer Topology

    MIS

    Star Topology
    In the star topology, all computers and other network devices connect to a central device called a hub or switch. Each connected device requires a single cable to be connected to the hub, creating a point-to-point connection between the device and the hub.
    MIS Information Technology - Networks 5

    Why Star Topology?


    Advantages of a 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 a Star Topology: Requires more cable length than a linear topology. If the hub, switch, or concentrator fails, nodes attached are disabled. More expensive than linear bus topologies because of the cost of the hubs, etc.

    Client Server Network


    Recommended for the Management Information System - MIS

    Information Technology - Networks

    Client Server network


    Advantage
    Easily managed security policy. Files are centrally located Files are easy to backup Suitable for ERP software

    Disadvantage
    Hackers target the server as a central point to gain full access of a network Files are not accessible if the server goes down Network servers can be expensive
    MIS Information Technology - Networks 8

    Peer to - Peer
    Peer-to-peer network operating systems allow users to share resources and files located on their computers and to access shared resources found on other computers.
    MIS Information Technology - Networks 9

    Peer-to-peer network
    Advantage Affordable LAN for small office, because no expensive Server computer required Simple file sharing and printer sharing Not suitable for ERP software Disadvantage Hackers target the server as a central point to gain full access of a network Files are not accessible if the server goes down Security Policy can be hard to control Backup is challenging because files are scattered across different machines

    Web based infrastructure


    Entire organization uses Internet technology for various activities Inside office or while on the move MIS uses databases that are accessible on the net.

    Leased Lines networks


    Leased line is a line (cable) connecting two offices. Leased lines can be used for telephone, data or Internet services. Unlike traditional PSTN lines it does not have a telephone number, each side of the line being permanently connected to the other.
    No PSTN (Public switched telephone network)

    VSAT based private networks


    VSAT is a Very Small Aperture Terminal. VSAT is a two-way satellite ground station with a dish antenna VSATs are most commonly used to transmit data such as point of sale transactions, credit card, or RFID data; VoIP or video transmission.

    VPN = Virtual Private Network


    A Virtual Private Network (VPN) implements private networks over public infrastructure. A VPN can provide secure but more costeffective LAN-WAN communication. A VPN uses the Internet as its transport mechanism, while maintaining the security of the data on the VPN. It is like a tunnel connecting two computers (or two networks).

    Intranet
    There are enterprises that have local area networks or LAN within four walls of the organization. Such websites can be accessed by authorized users using login id and password.
    A website on such network is called Intranet. User can use browser to browse. E.g. sharing of price list or sharing birthdays of the month list.

    An extranet is an Internet site that is accessible to a select group of people


    An Extranet provides the ability to create applications that associates and customers can access, but that are not accessible to the general public. Extranets can use encryption and password protection to secure access to the site. For business-to-business transactions, Extranets enable secure electronic commerce. An Extranet can automate informationsharing by providing access to specific information and controlled access to internal databases.

    Extranet
    Intranet on Internet is Extranet. In other words Extranet is a website on Internet that can be accessed by authorized users using login id and password, from anywhere.
    Extranet web pages cannot be viewed by outsiders.

    Extranet is information shared with suppliers, (vendors), partners, customers or other business associates.
    MIS Information Technology - Networks 18

    Benefits of Extranet
    An extranet can also provide remote access to corporate systems for staff that spends lots of time out of the office, for instance those in sales or customer support, or home workers. E.g. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS)

    Why would you use an extranet?


    Business managers are keen to meet the demands of larger companies in terms of working flexibly, adopting new technologies and enabling the exchange of business information and transactions. Extranets offer a cheap and efficient way for businesses to connect with their trading partners. It also means that your business partners and suppliers can access the information they need 24 hours a day. This is useful, especially because of different time zones.
    MIS Information Technology - Networks 20

    Why would you use an extranet?


    The ability of the extranet to automate the trading tasks between you and your trading partners can lead to enhanced business relationships and help to integrate your business firmly within their supply chain.
