Study Notes
Network Topology Diagrams
- Aggregated ports between switches provide resiliency and performance
- Topology diagrams display the number and configuration of switches on a network
- Diagrams can include information on device densities and user communities
Benefits of Topology Diagrams
- Visually identify potential bottlenecks in network traffic
- Focus traffic analysis data collection on areas for improvement
- Identify areas with the most impact on performance
Challenges of Network Topology
- Difficult to create a topology diagram without being part of the design process
- Network cables in wiring closets are hard to trace due to their path through floors and ceilings
- Devices spread throughout a building make it hard to understand how they connect
