The bus cable to which computers on the Ethernet is connected is called the trunk. If the trunk breaks, a bus topology is completely disrupted.

What IEEE standard sets the length of the cable segment and the number of devices on an Ethernet bus network?

The IEEE 802.3 standard governs Ethernet networks, specifying the maximum length of cable segments and the number of devices that can be connected. For traditional 10BASE2 (Thin Ethernet), the cable segment length is limited to 185 meters with a maximum of 30 devices. For 10BASE5 (Thick Ethernet), the cable can be up to 500 meters, but the total number of devices is typically similar. Ethernet standards have evolved, with modern implementations like 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T using twisted pair cabling and allowing for different configurations.

What hardware does a bus topology need?

A bus topology needs a trunk cable, which is a high speed central cable to which all the nodes can be connected. If the trunk cable breaks down, however, the whole network comes to a halt.

Which network topology are connected to the same cable?

The network topology where all devices are connected to the same cable is known as a bus topology. In this setup, all nodes share the same communication line, allowing data to be transmitted along the cable. While bus topology is simple and cost-effective, it can lead to performance issues and difficulties in troubleshooting, as a failure in the main cable can disrupt the entire network.


Why an office may install a star network instead of a linear network?

A linear network has multiple fail points. If when computers are connected in a bus style line, a failure in one part of the cable means that every computer past that failure point no longer has connectivity. A star configuration has redundancy- if one cable fails, no other computers are affected. Star topology also can also shorten the distance between computers, making the network a bit faster.
