Lesson 3 Flashcards
This is from the Greek word Topos meaning place
Topology
This is the arrangement of elements of communication network
Topology
This is either physical or logical structure of a network
Topology
This is the schematic description of the arrangement of network elements
Topology
This is the standard term that network professionals use when they refer to the network’s basic design
Topology
This refers to the arrangement or physical layout of the computers, cables and other components in the network
Physical Topology
This is the path that signals actually take around the network
Logical Topology
This describes the flow of data through the network
Logical Topology
What are the Standard Topology
- Bus Topology
- Star Topology
- Ring Topology
- Mesh Topology
What are the variations in network topologies
- Tree Topology / Star-Bus
- Star Ring Topology
- Hybrid Topology
This talks about all devices are connected to a central cable called the bust, truck, or backbone
Bus Topology
In Bus Topology, this is often times referred to as _________, because all nodes are connected in a straight line
Linear Bus
This talks about when one computer sends data, in the form of electronic signals, it will be sent to all the computers in the network. But only the computer that matches the destination address encoded in the signal accepts the information. All other computer disregard the message
Bus Topology
This is a component attached to each end of the cable to absorb free signals.
Terminator
This talks about all network devices are connected into a single concentrating device called hub
Star Topology
This device makes it possible for a computer to have indirect connection to all other computer within the network
Hub
This talks about all computer are connected to one another in a closed loop.
Ring Topology
This is when a computer sends data along the cable, the message flows around the ring in one direction only.
Ring Topology
When it comes to this topology, there is no need for terminators because there is no end to the ring.
Ring Topology
This is one of the methods used to transmit data in the ring topology
Token Passing
This is a special series of bits that is generated and is passed along the network until a computer that has a need to transmit data makes use of this.
Token
This requires complex, redundant links between each device in the network.
Mesh Topology
This can be employed either in full or in partial
Mesh Topology
This combines the characteristics of both the star and bus topologies
Tree Topology/ Star - Bus Topology
This uses several star topology networks connected through a single backbone.
Tree Topology
Its network expansion and combining several independent networks were made possible through this topology
Tree Topology
This incorporates both star and ring networks
Star-Ring Topology
This is the other term for Star-Ring Topology
Star Wired Ring
This combines multiple different topologies and the resulting topology doesn’t fall into basic topology definitions.
Hybrid Topology
This employs the combined characteristics of the topologies you are going to connect.
Hybrid Topology
