A network topology is how computers, printers, and other devices are connected over a network. It describes the layout of wires, devices, and routing paths. Essentially there are six different common topologies you should familiarize yourself with: Bus, Ring, Star, Extended Star, Hierarchical, and Mesh.
Although it is usually easier to start connecting wires and setting up your network, you’ll appreciate the level of organization these models provide- especially when your network grows in size. And if you’re looking to do well on networking exams, consider these topologies essential to both learn and memorize.
