    Network Topologies
    • Bus Topologies
    • Star Topologies
    • Mesh Topologies
    • Ring Topologies
    • Hybrid Topologies
    • Wireless Topologies
    • Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint
    Bus Topologies

    • A bus topology uses one cable as a main trunk to


    connect all of the systems together .
    • With a bus topology, if there is a break in the cable,
    the entire network will go down.
    • Difficulty in troubleshooting it.
    • One advantage of a bus topology is cost.
    Cont.
    Star Topologies

    • In a star topology, all computers are connected


    through one central device known as a switch.
    • One advantage of a star topology is scalability and
    ease of adding another system to the network.
    • if the switch fails in a star topology, any devices and
    downstream switches connected to it are not able to
    communicate
    Cont.
    Ring Topologies
    • In a ring topology, all computers are connected via a cable that loops
    in a ring or circle.
    • A ring topology is a circle that has no start and no end.
    • A major advantage of a ring topology is that signal degeneration is
    low because each workstation is responsible for regenerating the
    signal.
    • The biggest problem with ring topologies of the past was that if one
    computer failed or the cable link was broken, the entire network
    could go down.
    Cont.
    Mesh Topologies
    • In a mesh topology, every device is connected to every other
    device on the network.
    • A mesh topology is not very common with computers, but is seen
    more with networking devices such as routers and switches.
    • The biggest advantage of a mesh topology is fault tolerance.
    • A disadvantage of a mesh topology is the cost of the additional
    cabling and network interfaces to create the multiple pathways
    between each device.
    Cont.
    Hub-and-Spoke Topology
    • When interconnecting multiple sites (for example,
    multiple corporate locations) via WAN links, a hub-and-
    spoke topology has a WAN link from each remote site
    (that is, a spoke site) to the main site (that is, the hub
    site).
    Cont.
    Hybrid Topologies
    • It is important to note that it is typical for networks
    to implement a mixture of topologies to form a
    hybrid topology.
    • A popular hybrid topology is a star-bus topology, in
    which a number of star topologies are connected by
    a central bus.
    Cont.
    Wireless Topologies
    • A wireless topology is one in which only a few cables are used
    to connect systems.
    • The network contains special transmitters called cells, or
    wireless access points, which extend a radio sphere in the
    shape of a bubble around the transmitter.
    • The PCs and network devices have a special transmitter-
    receiver, which allows them to receive broadcast and transmit
    requested data back to the access point.
    Cont.
    Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint
    • A point-to-point topology—also known as host to host—is one
    system connected directly to another system. you could
    connect them using a crossover cable or a wireless connection.
    • A point-to-multipoint topology uses a central device that
    connects all the devices together. when the central device
    sends data, it is received by all devices connected to it. But if
    one of the devices that is connected sends data, then it is
    received by only the destination system.
    Cont.
