Network topologies are all about how the networking devices are connected. Suppose you are provided with a switch and 4 computers, there are numerous ways that these can be connected. The following diagram illustrates some ways of connecting them : Therefore, network topologies is about studying and connecting such computers in different patterns. When we connect in different orientations,we have to particularly pay attention to the pros and cons of each method rather than just using a particular topology randomly. Therefore, this blog post will discuss about the different topologies, their pros and cons and where each of these topologies are typically used. Star topology- A star topology, as shown below, is a topology where all the computers are connected to one centralized hub or switch. Therefore, each of these equipment are given the same opportunity (direct) to contact the switch and all devices radially span out from the centralized hub or switch. In this ...
