Topology Diagrams

Topology diagrams are mandatory for anyone working with a network. They provide a visual map of how the network is connected.
There are two types of topology diagrams:

  • Physical topology diagrams - Identify the physical location of intermediary devices and cable installation.  

  • Logical topology diagrams - Identify devices, ports, and addressing scheme.
The topologies shown in the physical and logical diagrams are appropriate for your level of understanding at this point in the course. Search the Internet for “network topology diagrams” to see some more complex examples. If you add the “Cisco” to your search phrase, you will find many topologies using similar icons to what you have seen in this chapter.
