Answer: There are different types of topologies are: 1) Bus topology, 2)Star topology, 3)Ring topology
Explanation: The physical layout in which the network connection are made is known as topology.
Types of topologies are explained as:
1) Bus topology-
- It is a type of network where every device is connected to a single cable, which runs one end to another.
- In this data is transmitted in one direction only and it is also known as linear bus topology.
- It is cost effective because they can be run in a single cable.
2) Star topology-
- In star topology every node in the network is connected to one central node.
- The central node or hub also acts as a repeater and it can manage the entire network from one location.
3) Ring topology-
- In this topology computers are connected to each other in circular format and every device in a network will have two neighbors.
- In this the risk of collision is very low and low cost to install.
