|
ring
|
|
|
bus
|
|
|
mesh

|
star
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Star topology has become the dominant physical topology for LANs. The star was first popularized by ARCNET, and later adopted by Ethernet. Each node is connected directly to a central device such as a hub or a switch, as shown in Figure 5.17.
Detailed explanation-2: -The two possible topologies for Ethernet are bus and star. The bus is the simplest (and the traditional) topology. Standard Ethernet (10BASE5) and Thin Ethernet (10BASE2), both based on coax cable systems, use the bus.
