Topology refers to the physical design of the network, while logical topology refers to how data is handled within the network regardless of its physical topology.

1. What is topology?
 Topology refers to the physical design of
the network, while logical topology refers to
how data is handled within the network
regardless of its physical topology.

2. How many types of topology?
 There are seven basic types of physical topology:
 Point-to-point topology
 Bus (point-to-multipoint) topology
 Star topology
 Ring topology
 Tree topology
 Mesh topology

3. What is Point to Point topology?Point-to-point. The simplest topology is a permanent link between
two endpoints. Switchedpoint-to-point topologies are the basic model
of conventional telephony. The value of a permanentpoint-to-
point network is the value of guaranteed, or nearly so, communications
between the two endpoints.

4. What is Bus Topology?
A bus network is a network topology in
which nodes are directly connected to a
common linear half-duplex link called a bus.

5. What is Star Topology?Star topology is a network topology where
each individual piece of a network is attached
to a central node (often called a hub or switch).
The attachment of these network pieces to the
central component is visually represented in a
form similar to a star.
Star topology is also known as a star network.

6. What is Ring Topology?A ring topology is
a network configuration in which device
connections create a circular data path.
Each networked device is connected to two
others, like points on a circle. Together,
devices in a ring topology are referred to as
a ring network

7. What is Tree Topology?A tree topology is a type of network topology
that includes at least three specific levels in a
topology hierarchy. Tree topologies are valued for
their scalability and accessibility for
troubleshooting.

8. What is mesh topology?
A mesh topology can be a full mesh
topology or a partially connected mesh
topology. In a full mesh topology, every
computer in the network has a connection
to each of the other computers in that
network.
