NETWORK TOPOLOGIES
Topology:The geometric arrangement/shape of a
communication network.
BUS
All nodes are connected to a single communication line that
carries messages in both directions.
STAR
A configuration that centers around one node to which all
others are connected and through which all messages are sent.
RING
A configuration that connects all nodes in a closed loop
on which messages travel in one direction.

NETWORK TOPOLOGIES
MESH
A network setup where almost every computer and network
device is interconnected with one another, allowing for most
transmissions to be distributed, even if one of the
connections go down.
HYBRID
This type of topology is a combination of various
topologies. i.e. star, bus, ring etc.
ETHERNET CABLING

TIPS FOR ETHERNETCABLING
A straight-through cable has identical ends.
A crossover cable has different ends.
A straight-thru is used as a patch cord in Ethernet connections.
A crossover is used to connect two Ethernet devices without a central device or for
connecting two central devices.
A crossover has one end with the Orange set of wires switched with the Green set.
Odd numbered pins are always striped, even numbered pins are always solid colored.
Looking at the RJ-45 with the clip facing away from you, Brown is always on the right, and
pin 1 is on the left.
No more than 1/2" of the Ethernet cable should be untwisted otherwise it will be
susceptible to crosstalk.
Do not deform, do not bend, do not stretch, do not staple, do not run parallel with power
cables, and do not run Ethernet cables near noise inducing components.
