What is a Topology?
What are the advantages of a Linear Bus Topology?
Easy to connect a computer or peripheral to a linear bus.
Requires less cable length than a star topology.
What are the disadvantages of a Linear Bus Topology?
Entire network shuts down if there is a break in the main cable.
Terminators are required at both ends of the backbone cable.
Difficult to identify the problem if the entire network shuts down.
Not meant to be used as a stand-alone solution in a large building.
What are the 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.
What are the 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.
What are the advantages of a Tree Topology?
Point-to-point wiring for individual segments.
Supported by several hardware and software vendors.
What are the disadvantages of a Tree Topology?
Overall length of each segment is limited by the type of cabling used.
If the backbone line breaks, the entire segment goes down.
More difficult to configure and wire than other topologies.
What is the 5-4-3 Rule?
What considerations should be taken into account when choosing a topology?
What are the common cables used in different physical topologies?
What are the two different categories of computer networks?
