Types of topology

Mesh topology 

 Mesh topology is a network configuration where devices are interconnected in a decentralized manner.

Star topology

A star network is a local area network (LAN) topology in which all nodes -- personal computers (PCs), workstations or other devices -- are directly connected to a common central computer that is often referred to as a hub. Therefore, a star network is often referred to as a hub-and-spoke network topology.
Bus topology 
Bus topology uses one main cable to which all nodes are directly connected. The main cable acts as a backbone for the network. One of the computers in the network typically acts as the computer server.
Ring topology 
Ring topology is a type of network configuration where devices are connected in a circular manner, forming a closed loop. In this setup, each device is connected to exactly two other devices, creating a continuous pathway for data transmission.
Hybrid topology 
Hybrid topology is an interconnection of two or more basic network topologies, each of which contains its own nodes. 



Tree topology 
 tree topology is a structure where devices are connected hierarchically. It resembles a tree with a root node and various branches. The root node is connected to multiple levels of child nodes, forming a hierarchy.


HOW TO MAKE A STRAIGHT THROUGH CABLE

 1. Strip the Cable Use a cable stripper to remove about 1-2 inches of the outer sheath from both ends of the cable. Be careful not to damag...
