- 2. What is Pointto Point topology Point-to-point topology is a type of network configuration in which each device on the network is connected directly to one other device. This means that there is only one path of communication between any two devices on the network
- 3. Advantages Simplicity: Onlytwo devices are connected, making it easy to set up and troubleshoot. Dedicated link: A direct link is established between the two devices, resulting in a dedicated connection with no contention from other devices. Scalability: Additional point-to-point links can be added as needed to expand the network.
- 4. Disadvantages Limited expansion:Only two devices can be connected, making it difficult to expand the network beyond that. Cost: Setting up point-to-point connections can be expensive, as dedicated links are required for each connection. Single point of failure: If the link between the two devices fails, the entire connection is lost, making the network vulnerable to downtime
- 5. What is Daisychain topologies A Daisy chain topology is a network configuration where devices are connected in a linear fashion, with each device connected to the one before and after it. This creates a chain-like structure, with all devices connected in series.
- 6. Daisy-chained network can taketwo basic forms: Linear Topology Ring Topology
- 7. Linear Topology Linearbus topology is a type of network topology where each device connects one after the other in a sequential chain (shown right). In this case, the bus is the network connection between the devices
- 8. Ring Topology Aring topology is a network configuration where 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 called a ring network.
- 9. Advantages Easy toinstall and configure: The linear structure of a daisy chain makes it easy to set up and add new devices. Cost-effective: Only two connections are required for each device, reducing the cost of cables and connectors. Scalability: Additional devices can be added to the chain as needed to expand the network.
- 10. Disadvantages Single pointof failure: If one device in the chain fails, the entire network can be affected. Limited distance: The distance between devices is limited by the maximum cable length and signal attenuation. Limited bandwidth: The overall bandwidth of the network is shared among all devices, which can lead to slow performance.
