Department of Information Technology ITEC 90 – Network Fundamentals

PROS CONS
 Can be extensions of bus and star  Heavily cabled

topologies  Expensive
 Easily expanded  The more devices, the harder the
 Easily managed and maintained maintenance
 Errors are easily detected  If central switch/hub fails, network fails

Hybrid Topology
This type is a mixture of two or more topologies. You may have a department in the
office using ring topology while the other uses a star topology. This is called a Hybrid Topology.

It can combine even more than two
topologies. Both the advantages and
disadvantages are included when you
create a hybrid, thus, ideal for a non-
conventional set-up.

PROS
 Reliable
 Easy Troubleshooting
 Errors are easily detected
 Easily scalable
 Flexible
CONS
 Complex
 Expensive

QUIZ NO 5. On your own words, define different types of Computer Networks and Network
Topology and discuss how it work.
