Study Notes
Physical Topology
- Refers to the physical arrangement of network elements, including the placement of devices and layout of cables.
- Involves how devices are wired and positioned within a physical space.
Bus Topology
- A type of network configuration where all computers and devices connect to a single communication line or cable, known as a backbone.
- Simplifies connectivity as devices can be easily added or removed in a linear manner.
Characteristics of Network Topology
- Can be described in two ways: physical topology (actual layout) and logical topology (how data flows).
- Physical topology represents the tangible elements; logical topology represents the functional flow of data between devices.
Identification Challenges
- Identifying physical topology can be complicated due to the arrangement and connectivity of various devices.
