Introduction
A topology refers to both the physical and
logical
Types
Several topologies are in use for networks
Bus Topology
All devices are connected to a central
Department of CE/IT
Advantages
Compared to other topologies, a bus is
equipment.
Department of CE/IT
Disadvantages
There might be network disruption when
all
systems
on
the
network
Ring Topology
All devices are connected to one another in
Department of CE/IT
Advantages
Cable faults are easily located, making
troubleshooting easier.
Ring
install.
Department of CE/IT
Disadvantages
Expansion
to
the
network
can
cause
network disruption.
A single break in the cable can disrupt the
entire network.

Star Topology
In the star topology, all computers and other network
Star Topology
Department of CE/IT
Advantages
Star networks are easily expanded without

Disadvantages
Requires more cable than most of the
other topologies.
A central connecting device allows for a
implement.

Mesh Topology
The mesh topology incorporates a unique network
Mesh topology
Department of CE/IT
Advantages
Provides redundant paths between devices
The network can be expanded without
Department of CE/IT
Disadvantages
Requires more cable than the other LAN
topologies.
Complicated implementation.

Tree topology
Tree topologies are comprised of the multiple star
Tree Topology
Department of CE/IT
Advantages
It is the best topology for a large computer network for
whole
network
into
parts
that
are
more
easily
manageable.
Tree topology makes it possible to have a point to point
network.
All computers have access to their immediate neighbors in
the network and also the central hub. This kind of network
makes it possible for multiple network devices to be

connected with the central
hub.
Advantage
It overcomes the limitation of star network

A tree network provides enough room for
