Also called signal topology. Every LAN has a topology, or the way that the devices on a network are arranged and how they communicate with each other. The way that the workstations are connected to the network through the actual cables that transmit data -- the physical structure of the network -- is called the physical topology. The logical topology, in contrast, is the way that the signals act on the network media, or the way that the data passes through the network from one device to the next without regard to the physical interconnection of the devices.
Logical topologies are bound to the network protocols that direct how the data moves across a network. The Ethernet protocol is a common logical bus topology protocol. LocalTalk is a common logical bus or star topology protocol. IBM's Token Ring is a common logical ring topology protocol.
A network's logical topology is not necessarily the same as its physical topology. For example, twisted pair Ethernet is a logical bus topology in a physical star topology layout. While IBM's Token Ring is a logical ring topology, it is physically set up in a star topology.
Refers to a userβs view of the way data or systems are organized. The opposite of logical is physical, which refers to the real organization of a system. For example, a logical description of a file is that it is a collection of data stored together. This is the way files appear to users. Physically, however, a single file can be divided into many pieces scattered across a disk.
The IP protocol identifies both the logical host as well as the logical network addresses...........
Logical Addressing on an IP Network enables selected devices to be part of Logical group for sharing information.
A physical network is different from a logical network. Logical networks are defined at the Network layer by the arrangement of the hierarchical addressing scheme. Physical networks represent the interconnection of devices on a common media. Sometimes, a physical network is also referred to as a network segment
Network topologies is the means in which a network is structured. There are two types being physical and logical. Logical topology shows how data is delivered between a network.
Layer 3 network addresses are logical addresses and can be easily changed by software.
What is one purpose of using logical addresses in an IP network?
ring/hybrid
An overly network is a computer network that is built on top of another network.It is usually logical.
Domain is client-server logical topology.
Hosts with the same network portion of their IPv4 address.
The Logical address is what we assign to the Network device to identify. for example IP Address.
