When the network is down it is a problem because you can not send things and use a lot of the applications. Yes you can still access the computer you just can’t use network functions and many applications.

8. Linear topology – One linear data line that connects to LAN. If one computer crashes all of them crash also.

Ring Topology – Ring shaped line that connects to same circuit. If one computer crashes all of them crash.

Star Topology – Star shaped line, all nodes attached to separate lines. If one computer crashes the other still work.

Tree Topology – All nodes attached to separate lines that lead to the HUB. If one computer crashes the others are not effected.

9. All computers and phones all connect to my modem so I have a LAN (Local area network) and connect to my computers and phones by putting in my username and password into my Internet service

    This mesh type application of switches provides multiple paths for network traffic to flow. What this means is that if one link in the traffic flow or a switch goes down, traffic can continue to flow using an alternate path. This type of mesh interlinked switches uses Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) to detect and prevent loops. A loop occurs when there are multiple active paths to the same switch and this causes the system to crash.…

    One network design model is the bus topology. The bus uses on main cable called the backbone, which connects the computer, printer, and everything to the server. Some advantages of the bus topology are the cost. Also the installation, because there is no additional devices required. If a computer fails along the bus topology the rest of the system stays up and running. However a major disadvantage of the bus topology is troubleshooting. Most problems in the bus are a break in the segments.…

    Network topology is the arrangement of the various elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a computer or biological network. Essentially, it is the topological structure of a network, and may be depicted physically or logically. Physical topology refers to the placement of the network's various components, including device location and cable installation, while logical topology shows how data flows within a network, regardless of its physical design. Distances between nodes, physical interconnections, transmission rates, and/or signal types may differ between two networks, yet their topologies may be identical.…

    All the devices on a bus topology are connected by one single cable. When one computer sends a signal up the wire, all the computers on the network receive the information, but only one accepts the information. The rest regrets the message. One computer can send a message at a time. A computer must wait until the bus is free before it can transmit. When the signal reaches the end of the wire, it bounces back and travels back up the wire. When a signal echoes back and forth along an unterminated bus, it is called ringing. To stop the signals from ringing, attach terminators at either end of the segment.…

    The self-healing capability enables a routing based network to operate when one node breaks down or a connection goes bad. As a result, the network is typically quite reliable, as there is often more than one path between a source and a destination in the network. Although mostly used in wireless situations, this concept is also applicable to wired networks and software interaction.…

    Computer Network also called Network is a group of computers and other devices connected to each other to share resources electronically. Networks can be as small as two computers or many thousand computers that are connected to one another. These computers are usually connected to one another through wires, satellite, and modems. Each device connected to the network is called a “node”, and the computer that is connected to the network is called a workstation. There are several ways to connect networks together, the way the Network is laid out is called Topology, and there are several types of topologies, Bus Topology, Star Topology, Ring Topology. There are several types of network, Peer to Peer Network, Client/Server Network. Depending on the size of networks they are divided into several categories and have different terms that specify these networks, LAN (Local Area Network), MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), and WAN (Wide Area Network).…
