Network Topology
This Topology uses a central "Backbone" cable to connect all hosts in a line
BUS
This type of cabling uses light to send information
Fiber Optic
This tool is used to cut wires in two
Wire Cutter / snips
This is a "dumb" device - it sends anything it receives to everyone
Hub
This Network type consists of a few PCs over the area of a room or two. It is a network that connects devices within a limited area, such as a home, office, or building, allowing them to communicate and share resources efficiently.
LAN (Local Area Network)
True or false: Topologies can be combined?
True
This type of cabling can be of type Cat 3, 5, 5e, 6, 6a, or 7.
Ethernet Cable
This tool attaches a connector to Twisted Pair cables
Crimping Tool
This knows exactly who should receive a message - and sends it to only one host
Switch
This network type encompasses many computers over a large geographic area... The internet can be seen as the largest one
WAN (Wide Area Network)
is a network design where each device is connected to multiple other devices, providing high redundancy, reliability, and self-healing capabilities.
Mesh
to find your local (or private) IP address
Ipconfig command
This tool is used to provides access to over 280 commands, allowing users to perform various tasks such as file management, system configuration, and network troubleshooting.
Windows Command Prompt
This Device connects multiple networks together. AKA Default Gateway
Router
This network type would be found in colleges, business parks, and schools with many buildings
CAN - Campus Area Network
This Topology exists when there is a central device connecting each other device
Star
This type of cabling uses F-Type or BNC Connectors. You generally receive cable television from it.
Coaxial
This tool can be used to determine if Twisted Pair cables are functional
Cable Tester
This is another name for devices on a network
Hosts / Nodes
is a useful tool for testing the connectivity between your computer and another device or network. It operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request messages to the destination and waiting for a response.
Ping Command
This topology is like a bus, but the first and last computer are connected
Ring
This displays IPv4 Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway for each adapter.
IPconfig All
Which connector type is typically used for ethernet cabling?
RJ-45
Theses Network devices want to share information with any device that asks for it. The "boss" of the BAS network
BAS Server
is a high-speed computer network that connects multiple LANs within a city or metropolitan area, larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN.
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
