2 Guide to Networking Essentials, Fifth Edition 2-2 Lecture Notes Overview Chapter 2 offers an introduction to network design essentials. Students begin by learning about the basics of a network layout and about the standard networking topologies, as well as variations on these topologies. Next, they learn about the role of hubs and switches in a network topology. Finally, at the end of the chapter, students will be able to construct a basic network layout. Objectives Explain the basics of a network layout Describe the standard networking topologies Explain the variations on standard networking topologies Describe the role of hubs and switches in a network topology Construct a basic network layout s Examining the Basics of a Network Layout 1. Explain the basics of a network layout. Introduce the terms topology, physical topology, and logical topology. For more information on network topologies, read 2. Stress that the topology has a significant effect on the network s performance and growth, and equipment decisions. Understanding Standard Topologies 1. Briefly describe each of the three physical topologies in which networks are based: bus, star, and ring. 2. Make sure students understand the difference between a physical topology and a logical topology.

3 Guide to Networking Essentials, Fifth Edition 2-3 Physical Bus Topology 1. Use Figure 2-1 to explain how the physical bus topology works. Don t forget to introduce the terms bus and backbone. For more information on the bus network topology, read 2. Stress that the main weakness of this topology is that a single cable break can halt the entire network. 3. Explain why this topology is no longer a practical choice. 4. Signal Propagation. Describe how signals are propagated on a physical bus topology. 5. Signal Bounce. Use Figure 2-2 to describe the signal bounce phenomenon in a physical bus topology. 6. Cable Termination. Use Figure 2-3 to describe the role of a terminator. 7. Cable Failure. Use Figure 2-4 to explain how a cable break affects the signals transmitted in a bus. Logical Bus Topology 1. Explain the role of the logical bus topology. 2. Stress that technology has moved past the physical bus, but a logical bus topology is still in use on some physical topologies, in particular a star. 3. Sending the signal. Briefly describe the steps required to send data in a logical bus topology. Explain that all computers on a logical bus receive the signals, but only the destination accepts the data. Make sure students understand why in this topology, network performance is reduced as more computers share the bus. Note that a bus topology is a passive topology. Explain the difference between a passive topology and an active topology. Physical Ring Topology 1. Use Figure 2-5 to describe how a physical ring topology works.

4 Guide to Networking Essentials, Fifth Edition 2-4 Note that although a logical ring topology might be implemented as a physical ring, it s much more common for a logical ring to be implemented as a physical star topology. 2. Explain that although a physical ring topology is sometimes used, as in network technologies such as FDDI, the most common type of ring is a logical ring topology. Logical Ring Topology 1. Explain the token passing process of a logical ring topology. 2. Explain that modern logical ring topologies use smart hubs that recognize a computer s failure and remove the computer from the ring automatically. 3. Note that an advantage of the ring topology lies in its capability to share network resources fairly. Physical Star Topology 1. Use Figure 2-6 to describe how a physical star topology works. For more information on the star network topology, read 2. Explain that the underlying logical topology in a physical star is likely a bus, a ring, or switching. 3. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the physical star topology. 4. Stress that the physical star doesn t really have a logical counterpart; rather, logical topologies implemented as a physical star are often referred to as star bus or star ring. 5. A logical bus implemented as a physical star. Use Figure 2-7 to describe how a logical bus is implemented as a physical star (using a hub). 6. A logical ring implemented as a physical star. Use Figure 2-8 to explain how a logical ring can be implemented as a physical star (using a concentrator or multistation access unit (MSAU)). 7. Switching implemented as a physical star. Explain that switching is neither a bus nor a ring logically, but is always implemented as a physical star. Explain that switching is far superior to the other logical topologies discussed, because unlike the bus and ring, multiple computers can communicate simultaneously without affecting each other. Stress that switching is the dominant method used in almost every LAN design.

5 Guide to Networking Essentials, Fifth Edition 2-5 Wireless Topologies 1. Explain the difference between the ad hoc and the infrastructure mode wireless topologies. Note that the latter has a star physical topology but a bus logical topology. Quick Quiz 1 1. In networking, what does the term topology refer to? Answer: A network s topology refers not only to the physical layout of its computers, cables, and other resources, but also to how those components communicate with each other. 2. All components of the bus topology connect via a(n), a single cable segment that (theoretically) interconnects all the computers in a straight line. Answer: backbone 3. What does it mean to say that a bus topology is a passive topology? Answer: This means that computers on the bus only listen for data being sent; they aren t responsible for moving data from one computer to the next. 4. Because of the problems in troubleshooting and managing a physical bus or ring network, and because a single cable failure can bring down the entire network, these topologies have been largely replaced by the physical topology. Answer: star Examining Variations of Physical Topologies 1. Note that the major physical topologies have three typical variations or combinations: extended star, mesh, and combination star and bus. Extended Star Topology 1. Use Figure 2-9 to describe the extended star topology. Mesh Topology 1. Use Figure 2-10 to describe the mesh topology. Stress that this type of network is the most fault tolerant, but also the most expensive. For more information on the mesh network topology, read

6 Guide to Networking Essentials, Fifth Edition Stress that most often, a mesh topology is used in a WAN to ensure that all sites remain able to communicate, even with one or more cable failures. Note that one of the best examples of a mesh topology is the Internet. Combination Star Bus Topology 1. Use Figure 2-11 to describe how to create a combination star bus topology. 2. Explain that the star configuration minimizes the effect of any single computer s failure on the network. Hubs and Switches Hubs 1. Note that both hubs and switches can act as the center of a star topology. 1. Explain that in network usage, there are a number of variations on the hub central theme: active hub, passive hub, repeating hub (just a type of active hub), and switching hub. For more information on how Ethernet hubs work, read 2. Active hubs. Describe the role of active hubs. Note that this type of hub is the most common type of hub today. Stress that active hubs are also called multiport repeaters or repeating hubs. Briefly explain how a hub works (see the steps listed in the book). Simulation 2-1 shows an animation that depicts the operation of a hub. Explain that for wireless networks, the hub is referred to as an access point (AP). Wireless hubs share bandwidth, just as traditional wired hubs do. 3. Passive hubs. Use Figure 2-12 to explain how a passive hub works. Stress that a passive hub requires no power. Switches 1. Explain the role of switches and how they work.

7 Guide to Networking Essentials, Fifth Edition 2-7 For more information on network switches, read 2. Stress that a switch can handle several conversations at one time, thereby providing the full network bandwidth to each device rather than requiring bandwidth sharing. 3. Simulation 2-2 shows the operation of a switch. You can find useful information on how LAN switches work (including an animation that depicts the learning process of a LAN switch) at Constructing a Network Layout 1. Briefly describe the steps involved in constructing a network layout. Selecting a Topology 1. Explain that most new network designs come down to only one choice: How fast should the network be? 2. Stress that the physical topology will certainly be a star, and the logical topology is almost always switching. 3. Note that Ethernet switches are typically used on a LAN. Provide some insight on why you might consider other logical topologies. Creating the Layout 1. Explain why it is extremely important to document the network through a network layout or diagram. 2. Stress that the network diagram must be kept up to date. 3. A diagram similar to the one in Figure 2-13 can be created with a program called SmartDraw, which you can download as a free trial at 4. Explain that you should include enough detail in your network diagram so that anyone can easily understand your network s construction.

8 Guide to Networking Essentials, Fifth Edition 2-8 Quick Quiz 2 1. The star topology is the most widely used topology in networks containing more than just a few computers. Answer: extended 2. What is a mesh topology? Answer: A mesh network topology is the most fault tolerant, but also the most expensive. Connecting each device in a network to every other device in the network creates a mesh network topology. 3. The majority of hubs installed in networks today are hubs. Answer: active 4. Instead of simply regenerating an incoming signal and repeating that signal to all other ports, a(n) actually determines to which port the destination device is connected and forwards the message to only that port. Answer: switch Class Discussion Topics 1. Have students used/configured hubs or switches? If so, ask them to discuss their experiences. 2. Have students implemented a LAN before? If so, ask them to describe the topology they used. Additional Projects 1. Ethereal ( is a free network protocol analyzer program. It can be used to see the data received in a NIC. Ask students to use the program to capture the packets being received on the network interface card (use promiscuous mode). Can they see packets being sent by other computers? In either case, ask them to infer which type of topology is being used (logical bus or switching) in the network. 2. Ask students to create a table with the advantages and disadvantages of each of the topologies studied in this chapter. Additional Resources 1. Network Topology: 2. Bus Network:
