3. TYPES OF TOPOLOGY
 Ring topology
 Bus topology
 Star topology
 Tree topology

4. RING TOPOLOGY
Here all the nodes are joined together to form a ring. There is no central server
in this case.
ADVANTAGES:
 Short cable length
 Suitable for optical fibres
DISADVANTAGES:
 Network reconfiguration is difficult
 Topology affects the access protocol

5. RING TOPOLOGY

6. BUS TOPOLOGY
Here all the nodes share a common bus of connecting cables.
ADVANTAGES:
 Short cable length and simple wiring layout
 Easy to extend
DISADVANTAGES:
 Fault identification is difficult
 Fault isolation is difficult

7. BUS TOPOLOGY

8. STAR TOPOLOGY
Here all the nodes are connected to a centralized computer.
ADVANTAGES:
 Fault identification is easy
 Fault isolation is easy
DISADVANTAGES:
 Long cable length
 Difficult to expand

9. STAR TOPOLOGY

10. TREE TOPOLOGY
Here nodes are linked in a stage or phase.
ADVANTAGES:
 Easy to expand
 Fault isolation is easy
DISADVANTAGES:
 Dependent on the root
 Difficult for installation
