NETWORK TOPOLOGY

TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLGY

1.MESH TOPOLOGY-In a full mesh topology, every computer in the network has a connection to each of the other computers in that network. The number of connections in this network can be calculated using the following formula (n is the number of computers in the network): n(n-1)/2

2.Alternatively referred to as a star network, star topology is one of the most common network setups. In this configuration, everynode connects to a central network device, like a hub, switch, or computer. The central network device acts as a server and the peripheral devices act as clients. Depending on the type ofnetwork card used in each computer of the star topology, a coaxial cable or a RJ-45 network cable is used to connect computers together.
3.Bus Topology-Alternatively referred to as a line topology, a bus topology is a network setup in which each computer and network device are connected to a single cable or backbone. ... The following sections contain both the advantages and disadvantages of using a bus topology with your devices.

 4. Star Topology- all computers and devices are connected to a main hub or switch. The hub or switch amasses and disburses the flow of data within the network. Star topology is the most common type of network and follows the Ethernet standard.

Types of computer network LAN- Local Area Network WAN- Wired Area Nework MAN- Metropolitan Area Network WLAN-Wireless local area network 1.LAN-Local Area Network A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line or wireless link to a server. Typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals connected to a server within a distinct geographic area such as an office or a commercial establishment. Computers and other mobile devices use a LAN connection to share resources such as a printer or network storage 2.WAN-Wired Area Network A wide area network (WAN) is a network that exists over a large-scale geographical area. A WAN connects different smaller networks, including local area networks (LANs) and metro area networks (MANs). This ensures that computers and users in one location can communicate with computers and users in other locations. WAN implementation can be done either with the help of

Network Address Network Address -  is an identifier for a node or host on a telecommunications  network .  Network addresses  are designed to be unique identifiers across the  network , although some  networks  allow for local, private  addresses  or locally administered  addresses  that may not be unique. Table A.2. Example Network; Host Addressing hostname interface IP address wan-gw wan0 205.254.209.73/30 isdn-router ( Ethernet ) 192.168.99.1/24 branch-router ( Ethernet ) 192.168.98.254/24 service-router ( Ethernet ) 192.168.100.1/24 8 more rows IP VERSION 1. IPv4 - IP version 4 -is the standard verion 2. IPv6 - IP version 6 - is the advanced version IPv4 addresses are cononically represented in dotted-decimal notation, which consists of four decimal numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255, separated by dots, e.g., 172.16.254.1. Each part reprsents a group of 8 bits(octet) of of the address IP Configuration 1. Start Button 2. Click Run 3. Typ
