Unit 5 Managing Networks (P1)

Describe network technologies.
Network technologies is a network
where by two or more computer
system connected to each other and
share information between them.
Network technologies needed for
the purpose of creating network. In
order to manage network, you need
to know different network
technologies, this will help to plan
the layout of the network as well as
manage of efficient network.

, Considering on how components are placed to build
network is network topology. The following are the
different network topology:

 Ring topology.
This is the network topology where by computers
are linked together in circle shape to a network. In
this type of network topology, data travel around
the network in one direction. Devices connected in
ring topology are referred to as ring network. In
ring network, data are transferred from one device
to the next until they reach to their destination.
One if the disadvantages if this network topology is
that, if there is a problem one computer which is
connected to the ring network, this can affect the
whole network.
