and servers
Topology - Answer-The layout of Hey Network
What are the four types of network topology - Answer-Bus
Star
Ring
Mesh
Bus - Answer-Uses least amount of cabling the simplest physical topology consists of
single cable that runs to every workstation
Star topology - Answer-A physical star apology branches each network device off a
single central device called a hub
Ring topology - Answer-Connect to two other computers joining them in a circle creating
an unidirectional path where messages move workstations to workstation
