ITEC45 Flashcards
IT is a set of nodes that are interconnected to permit the exchange of information.
Network
It refers to the way in which the end points or stations attached to the network are interconnected.
Topology
Is either a redistribution point or a communication endpoint.
Nodes
It is the arrangement with which computer systems or network devices are connected to each other.
Network Topology
It is the simplest topology that connects two nodes directly together with a common link.
Point to point Topology
All devices are connected to a central cable, called the bus of backbone.
Bus Topology
Is a connector that either splices into the main cable or punctures the sheathing of a cable to create a contact with the metallic core.
Tap
Is a connection running between the device and the main cable.
Drop Line
Uses a central hub though which all components are connected.
Star Topology
All devices are connected to one another in the shape of a closed loop.
Ring Topology
In this type of topology, a host is connected to one or multiple hosts.
Mesh Topology
All hosts have a point-to-point connection to every other host in the network.
Full Mesh
Not all hosts have point-to-point connection to every other host.
Partially Mesh
Also known as Hierarchical Topology
Tree Topology
A network structure whose design contains more than one topology
Hybrid Topology
Is the smallest network which is very personal to a user.
Personal Area Network (PAN)
Appliances use for PAN
cordless mouse, keyboards, and Bluetooth systems.
A computer network spanned inside a building and operated under a single administrative system
Local Area Network (LAN)
