Overview/Description
The physical and logical 'shape' of a network is called the topology. Topologies have a great deal to do with how a network communicates and even what devices and
media can be used on the network. As well, the scope of a network, for example, if it's a LAN, MAN, or WAN, can have an impact on the type of topology chosen for implementation on the network. This course
covers the basic devices used in a network, such as servers, workstations, and hosts, and focuses on the different logical and physical topologies that networks can be based on. The course explores network
architectures, including Ethernet, broadband, and XBasex technologies, and also examines access methods such as CSMA/CD and broadcast. In addition, the various
scopes that can have a bearing on the type of topology put into operation are explained. This course maps to the certification exam objectives for identifying physical and logical topologies,
and categorizing LAN technology types and properties.
