Topology Advantages Disadvantage S
BUS Takes less cable Break in the Bus,
network is down
Ring Easy to install Expensive parts
Star Easy to install; most
common; break in
workstation cable,
network still works
More expensive than Bus

7. Topologies Description
Linear Bus All nodes and peripheral devices are
attached to a common backbone cable.
Ring All nodes are connected in a circular
chain.
Star All nodes are connected to a central
hub.

9.  A local area network (LAN) is a group of
computers and associated devices that share a
common communications line or wireless link.
 Typically, connected devices share the
resources of a single processor or server within
a small geographic area .
 . A local area network may serve as few as two
or three users or as many as thousands of
users.
