CompTIA Network+: Network Types

Network topologies represent how computers are interconnected to form a network. There are five mAIn network topology types – mesh star bus ring and hybrid – and each offers unique advantages and disadvantages that technicians need to be aware of. In this course you ll explore the five topologies in detAIl and learn when to implement each. YouÆll learn about computer networks such as local area networks metropolitan area networks and wide area networks. Next you explore other computer network types including peer-to-peer client/server wireless local area network personal area network and campus area network. You ll examine Multiprotocol Label Switching and how it can be used as an efficient alternative to traditional Internet Protocol routing. Lastly you ll learn about common service related entry points virtual networking concepts and the common network provider links such as satellite digital subscriber line cable leased line and metro-optical
