Network Operations Flashcards
List the 2 types of Network Topology
1) Physical Topology
2) Logical Topology
How does physical Network Topology work?
It works by connecting devices physically by media
How does Logical Network Topology work?
It works by the actual flows in the Network
List the types of 6 wired Network Topology
1) Bus Topology
2) Ring Topology
3) Star Topology
4) Hub and Spoke Topology
5) Full Mesh Topology
6) partial mesh topology
what is a Bus Topology (wired)?
Bus topology is a cable which runs through an area that requires network connectivity.
How does Bus Topology work?
Bus topology works by tapping into the cable that is running through the area using either a T connector or a Vampire Tap.
is Bus topology useful today?
perhaps, but its an old technology and not many agencies use it any more.
why is Bus topology not popular today
it is not popular today because all the devices that is tapping into the Network forms a single collision domain.
what is a Ring Topology (wired)?
Ring topology is a cable which runs in a circular loop
How does Ring Topology work?
Ring topology works by connecting each device to a ring, this allows that data to travel in a singular direction.
what is FDDI?
Fiber Networks.
how does FDDI WORK?
FDDI works by using two counter rotating rings for redundancy.
what is the difference between FDDI Rings and Token Rings?
FDDI Rings works by using two counter rotating rings for redundancy while Token rings wait for a turn to communicate on a ring by passing a token.
what is a Star Topology (wired)?
Star topology works by connecting a cable to a single point.
what is Star topology significance?
it is the most popular physical LAN Topology today
