    The lab report describes 5 common network topologies: bus, star, ring, mesh, and hybrid. It provides details on how each topology arranges connected devices and directions of data transmission. Configuration steps are outlined for setting up examples of each topology using laptops and switches in Cisco Packet Tracer. The conclusion recommends considering expansion needs, cable types, and redundancy when selecting a topology for a network.

    Lab Report 1

    Experiment Name:Types of topology.

    Theory:A Network Topology is the arrangement with which computer


    systems or network devices are connected to each other. Topologies
    may define both physical and logical aspect of the network. Both logical
    and physical topologies could be same or different in a same network.

     1.Bus Topology

     2.Star Topology

     3.Ring Topology

     4.Mesh Topology

     5.Hybrid Topology

    Tools/Components:

     1.switch

     2.pc

     3.wire

     4 Cisco packet tracer.

    1.Bus Topology: In case of Bus topology, all devices share single


    communication line or cable. Both ends of the shared channel have
    line terminator. The data is sent in only one direction and as soon as
    it reaches the extreme end, the terminator removes the data from the
    line.

    *Configuration
    Configuration each laptop of following.
    2.Star Topology: In the star topology, all the computers connect with the
    help of a hub. This cable is called a central node, and all other nodes are
    connected using this central node. It is most popular on LAN networks as
    they are inexpensive and easy to install
    install.

    Set up laptop and switch of following.

    *Configuration
    Configuration each laptop of following.
    3.Ring Topology:
    In a ring network, every device has eexactly
    xactly two neighboring devices for
    communication purpose. It is called a ring topology as its formation is like a ring.
    In this topology, every computer is connected to another computer. Here, the
    last node is combined with a first one.

    This topology uses token to pass the information from one computer to another.
    In this topology, all the messages travel through a ring in the same direction.

    *Set
    Set up laptop and switch of following.
    *Configuration
    Configuration each laptop of following.
    4.Mesh Topology
    The mesh topology has a unique network design in which each computer on the
    network connects to every other. It is develops a P2P (point
    (point-to-point)
    point)
    connection between all the devices of the network. It offers a high level of
    redundancy, so even if onee network cable fails, still data has an alternative path
    to reach its destination.

    *Set
    Set up laptop and switch of following.

    *Configuration
    Configuration each laptop of following.
    5.Hybrid topology:
    combines two or more topologies. You can see in the above architecture in
    such a manner that the resulting network does not exhibit one of the standard
    topologies.

    For example, as you can see in the above image that in an office in one
    department, Star and P2P topology is used
    used. A hybrid topology is always
    produced when two different basic network topologies are connected.

    *Set
    Set up laptop and switch of following.
    *Configuration
    Configuration each laptop of following.
    Conclution: Here are some important considerations for selecting the best
    topology to create a network in your organization:Bus topology is surely least
    expensive to install a network.If you want to use a shorter cable or you planning
    to expand the network is future, then star topology is the best choice for
    you.Fully mesh topology is theoretically an ideal choice as every device is
    connected to every other device.If you want to use twisted pair cable for
    networking, then you should build star topologies.
