Network Topologies
 Logical or Physical Topology diagrams
 Logical diagram  Physical diagram
‒ Refers to how data moves through the network ‒ Physical layout of the wires in a network
‒ Draw the topology exactly like it looks like with all the
physical links between devices

Network Topologies
 Star topology SC

 In this example the SC is the central point

 All PRAESENSA devices are connected in a star to the
central point and do not depend on operation of other
components 8x

 All IP systems and networks are typically star wired AD608

 Tree Topology SC

 Tree or ‘Combined Star’ topology are interconnected star

networks.
 This is the most used topology in modern networks
 Devices depend on other components in the network 8x

 Clustering gives a better insight in the network and AD608

easier to isolate. S FP

Network Topologies
 Ring Topology SC

 Ring topologies are used to create redundant networks

 Standard Ethernet are star or tree topologies and do not
allow loops, unless…
… protocols like RSTP, LACP, Loopback 8x

protection, are active which protect broadcast AD608

storms S FP

 Connecting and disconnecting redundant loops can result AD608

into short hick-ups in audio.
