8. 7 Logical Topology Bus logical topology: signals travel from one network device to all other devices on network –Broadcast –Required by bus, star, star-wired physical topologies

9. 8 Bus Single cable connects all network nodes without intervening connectivity devices Devices share responsibility for getting data from one point to another Terminators stop signals after reaching end of wire –Prevent signal bounce Inexpensive, not very scalable Difficult to troubleshoot, not fault-tolerant

10. 9 Bus

11. 10 Star A typical star topology network

12. 11 Star Any single cable connects only two devices –Cabling problems affect two nodes at most Requires more cabling than ring or bus networks –More fault-tolerant Easily moved, isolated, or interconnected with other networks –Scalable Supports max of 1024 addressable nodes on logical network

13. 12 Hybrid: Star-Wired Ring A star-wired ring topology network

14. 13 Star-Wired Bus A star-wired bus topology network

17. 16 The 5-4-3 Rule A thinnet network can combine as many as five cable segments connected by four repeaters; but only three segments can have stations attache –" This is known as the 5-4-3 rule. repeaters can be used to join Ethernet segments and extend the network

18. 17 ThinNet 5-4-3 Rule

19. 18 10Base2 Standard Coaxial cable, or thinnet, which has a maximum segment length of 185 meters. Thinnet cabling components include: BNC barrel connectors. BNC T connectors. BNC terminators

20. 19 10Base-5 / Thicknet

21. 20 Thicknet 5-4-3 rule

22. 21 10BaseT Standard In 1990, the IEEE committee published the 802.3 specification for running Ethernet over twisted-pair wiring. –UTP Most networks of this type are configured in a star pattern, but internally they use a bus signalling system like other Ethernet configurations

23. 22 10BaseT Specifications Summary

24. 23 10BaseFL Standard is an Ethernet network that typically uses fiber-optic cable to connect computers and repeaters. The maximum distance 2000 meters (about 6500 feet).
