Yes...depending on the type of topology.
double-ring
Only a Mesh will allow every node to continue to work on a network if one cable does down. In a Star topology, however, only the computer the cable was connected to would lose contact with the network.
The arrangement of computers on a network is called topology. It describes how the individual computers are connected to each other and to the network.examples of topology are Star topology, ring topology, mesh topology, bus topology.
Topology is the structure that describes how devices in a Network are connected.Bus Topology: Directly connects all devices to network i.e utilises a single Physical medium for Data transmission between devices.Star Topology: Connects all devices in network through a Central Network connecting device such as Hubs & Switches.Advantage of Bus Topology is that less connecting cable is used.Advantage of Star Topology is that Network can function in case one or more devices fail.Disadvantage of Bus Topology is that whole Network goes down if one device fails.Disadvantage of Star Topology is that it requires physical connecting medium from Central device to the connecting device i.e more expensive.
Group of devices connected together forms a Network & structure (design) in which they interconnect is called Topology.
Connections between devices Devices
A device with wireless connectivity or Ethernet ports, which otherwise connects a series of devices in a network topology.
Topology is the actual layout of the network, for instance, where the routers and other devices are located. That would be the networks topology.
physical topology
Network mapper
The physical topology of a network refers to the configuration of cables, computers, and other peripherals. Physical topology should not be confused with logical topology which is the method used to pass information between workstations.In communication networks, a topology is a usually schematic description of the arrangement of a network, including its nodes and connecting lines. There are two ways of defining network geometry: the physical topology and the logical (or signal) topology.The physical topology of a network is the actual geometric layout of workstations.above tropologies are described belowBus - Both ends of the network must be terminated with a terminator. A barrel connector can be used to extend it.Star - All devices revolve around a central hub, which is what controls the network communications, and can communicate with other hubs. Range limits are about 100 meters from the hub.Ring - Devices are connected from one to another, as in a ring. A data token is used to grant permission for each computer to communicate.
A star topology; a network topology in which endpoints on a network are connected to a common central device by point-to-point links.
