LOCAL AREA NETWORK
• Connects network devices over a relatively short distance.
• A networked office building, school, or home usually contains a single LAN.
• Sometimes one building will contain few small LANs (perhaps one per room).
• Occasionally a LAN will span a group of nearby buildings.

WIDE AREA NETWORK
• Spans a large physical distance. The Internet is the largest WAN.
• A router connects LANs to a WAN. • Exist under collective or distributed ownership
and management.
![Page 12: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK
• Spans a city or a large campus. • Interconnects a number of LANs using a high-
capacity backbone technology, such as fiber-optical links.
• Provides up-link services to WAN and the Internet.
![Page 14: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

CLIENT - SERVER
• Utilizes client and server devices each designed for specific purposes.
• Can be used on the Internet as well as LANs.• Examples of client-server systems on the Internet
include Web browsers and Web servers.

![Page 17: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
STORAGE AREA NETWORK
• Provides access to consolidated, block level data storage.
• Part of the overall network of computing resources for an enterprise.
![Page 18: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
![Page 19: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
WIRELESS COMMUNITY NETWORKS
• Uses wireless technologies in an innovative network design to provide low-cost broadband connectivity.
![Page 20: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGIES
• Topology refers to the layout of connected devices.
![Page 22: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
TYPES OF NETWORK TOPOLOGIES
• Bus• Ring• Star• Tree• Mesh
![Page 23: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Bus Topology
• Each computer or server is connected to single cable.
• A signal from the source travels in both directions to all machines connected on the bus cable until it finds the intended recipient.
• If the machine address does not match the intended address for the data, the machine ignores the data.
![Page 24: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Bus Topology
• Inexpensive to implement when compared to other topologies
• Single point of failure
![Page 25: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
STAR TOPOLOGY
• Every node (computer workstation or any other peripheral) is connected to central node called hub or switch.
• The switch is the server and the peripherals are the clients.
• Easiest topology to design and implement.• An advantage is the simplicity of adding
additional nodes. • The primary disadvantage ST is that the hub
represents a single point of failure.
![Page 27: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
RING TOPOLOGY
• Set up in a circular fashion in which data travels around the ring in one direction.
![Page 29: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
![Page 30: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
ADVANTAGES OF RING TOPOLOGY
• Organized. • Reduces chances of collision. • Additional components do not affect the performance
of network.• Each computer has equal access to resources.
![Page 31: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
DISADVANTAGES OF RING TOPOLOGY
• Each packet of data must pass through all the computers between source and destination. This makes it slower than Star Topology.
• If one workstation or port goes down, the entire network gets affected.
![Page 32: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
TREE TOPOLOGY
• A tree topology connects multiple star networks to other star networks.
![Page 33: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
![Page 34: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
ADVANTAGES OF TREE TOPOLOGY
Expansion of Network is possible and easy.
Error detection and correction is easy.
If one segment is damaged, other segments are not affected.
![Page 35: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
DISADVANTAGES OF TREE TOPOLOGY
As more and more nodes and segments are added, the maintenance becomes difficult.
Scalability of the network depends on the type of cable used.
![Page 36: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
MESH TOPOLOGY
• Each of the network node, computer and other devices, are interconnected with one another.
• Every node not only sends its own signals but also relays data from other nodes.
![Page 37: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
![Page 38: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
ADVANTAGES OF MESH TOPOLOGY
Data can be transmitted from different devices simultaneously.
Can withstand high traffic.
Even if one of the components fails there is always an alternative present. So data transfer doesn’t get affected.
Expansion and modification in topology can be done without disrupting other nodes.
![Page 39: Information Technology for Managers - Basics](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062319/55490ee5b4c90565458bc918/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
DISADVANTAGES OF MESH TOPOLOGY
High chances of redundancy in many of the network connections.
Overall cost of this network is way too high.
Set-up and maintenance of this topology is very difficult.
Administration of the network is tough.
