Topolgoies Flashcards
Is a single line of devices connected together by one shared network cable.
Coaxial cable, thinnet.
Bus Topology
Each node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for signals through each node. Nodes connected to each other with a backbone cable that loops around and ends at the same point it started.
Ring Topology
Each device is only connected to the central switch. Huh or switch in center. All device-to-device communication is sent through the switch at the center of the network and then forwarded by the switch to proper destination.
Star Topology
Connects every node to every other node in the network. Typically used where communication within a network must be highly available and redundancy is needed.
