ANU UG 1st Sem Computer Fundamentals Lab Experiment 2 — Network Topoloy

 Aim:

To identify the type of computer network topology used in the institution and prepare detailed notes on its structure, working, and advantages.

Objective:

  • To study the physical and logical layout of the computer network used in the institution.
  • To understand different types of topologies such as Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, and Hybrid.
  • To analyze how computers and devices are interconnected in the campus network.
  • To develop the ability to diagrammatically represent the institution’s topology.

Apparatus / Requirements:

  • Access to computer laboratory and networking area.
  • Network cables (UTP, STP, Fiber)
  • Switches / Hubs / Routers
  • Network diagram drawing tools (MS Visio, Draw.io, or by hand)
  • Institutional floor plan (optional)


Theory:

A network topology refers to the arrangement of computers, cables, and networking devices within a network. It defines how the nodes (computers, printers, switches, routers, etc.) are interconnected and communicate with each other.

Types of Network Topologies:

TypeDescriptionExample Use
Bus TopologyAll computers share a single communication line (backbone). Data travels in both directions.Small temporary networks
Star TopologyAll devices are connected to a central device (hub/switch). If one link fails, others remain unaffected.Common in LANs and labs
Ring TopologyEach device connects to two others forming a ring. Data passes in one direction.Token Ring LANs
Mesh TopologyEach node is connected to every other node. Offers high redundancy and reliability.WAN / Backbone networks
Hybrid TopologyCombination of two or more topologies (e.g., Star-Bus, Star-Ring).

Procedure:

  1. Visit your institution’s computer laboratory or server room.
  2. Observe how the computers and switches are interconnected.
  3. Identify the central device — hub, switch, or router.
  4. Trace the connection lines and note whether each computer is connected directly or through other devices.
  5. Sketch the network layout in your record.
  6. Identify whether it resembles a Star, Bus, Ring, Mesh, or Hybrid topology.
  7. Prepare notes explaining:

  • The type of topology used.
  • Number of nodes and devices.
  • Advantages and limitations in your setup.

Observation Table:

Overall CampusMultiple labs connected via main serverRouter BackboneHybrid (Star-Bus)

Result:

After observation, it was found that the network topology of the institution is Hybrid, primarily consisting of Star Topology within each lab connected by a Bus/Backbone network between departments.
