5 BASIC NETWORK COMPUTER COMPONENTS

A
  • Servers
  • Shared Data
  • Transmission Media
  • LAN Cable
  • Clients
21
Q

are computers that hold shared files, program, and network operating system.

A

Servers

22
Q

are data that file servers provides to clients.

A

Shared Data

23
Q

are facilities used to interconnect computers in networks.

A

Transmission Media

24
Q

used to connect a device to the internet or to other devices.

A

LAN Cable

25
Q

this are the customers.

A

Clients

26
Q

refers to how various nodes, devices, and connection on your network are physically or logically arranges in relation to each other.

A

Network Topology

27
Q

a type of network topology that refers to physical connections and interconnection between nodes.

A

Physical Network Topology

28
Q

a type of network topology that is a little more abstract, refers to conceptual understanding of how and why a network is arranged.

A

Logical Network Topology

29
Q

7 TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGY

A
  1. Star Topology
  2. Bus Topology
  3. Ring Topology
  4. Dual Ring Topology
  5. Tree Topology
  6. Mesh Topology
  7. Hybrid Topology
30
Q

the most common network topology. It is laid oud to every node in the network is directly connected to one central hub.

A

Star Topology

31
Q

orients all the devices on a network along a single cable running in a single direction. Called a line or backbone topology.

A

Bus Topology

32
Q

is where nodes are arranged in a circle. Data can travel through the ring in either direction.

A

Ring Topology

33
Q

it is a full-duplex, data can move in both directions.

A

Dual Ring Topology

34
Q

the central nodes function as a sort of trunk for the network with nodes extending outward in a branch-like fashion.

A

Tree Topology

35
Q

is an intricate and elaborate structure of point-to-point connections where the nodes are interconnection.

A

Mesh Topology

36
Q

a mesh topology where nodes are mostly interconnected.

A

Partial Mesh Topology

37
Q

a mesh topology where nodes are fully connected.

A

Full Mesh Topology

38
Q

combines two or more different topology structures.

A

Hybrid Topology
