Question

What are the different type of topologies..?

Answer 1

Answer: There are different types of topologies are: 1) Bus topology, 2)Star topology, 3)Ring topology  

Explanation:  The physical layout in which the network connection are made is known as topology.

Types of topologies are explained as:

1) Bus topology-

• It is a type of network where every device is connected to a single cable, which runs one end to another.  
• In this data is transmitted in one direction only and it is also known as linear bus topology.
• It is cost effective because they can be run in a single cable.

2) Star topology-

• In star topology every node in the network is connected to one central node.
• The central node or hub also acts as a repeater and it can manage the entire network from one location.

3) Ring topology-

• In this topology computers are connected to each other in circular format and every device in a network will have two neighbors.
• In this the risk of collision is very low and low cost to install.
