Star topology network

[Kristy_10]

I am just looking to see how much it would cost to set this up in a 2 office space business. I need a comparison in price. This is for a sxhool project and im trying to get the best information possible. It would be great to have a few figures to plug into my work. And i would glafly cite anyone who could help me with this. I a camparison with the bus topology because it is the cheapest.

Networking in 2017 is all star. There is no bus anymore. Switches have replaced all hubs. Gigabit networks are pervasive. They require a switch and star topology.

I understand that but i am looking for how much it would cost to do this in a business with 2 offices. I do not know anything about compiters and this is my first IT class.

Homework? Probably best to do it on your own.

Yeah, we don't do homework FOR people. When you say "2 offices" do you mean two physical desks or two multi-person office spaces?

Hint and only one: you need enough ports on your switch(s) to manage traffic all computers connected to the network, and your servers, and your inter office connectivity and a few spares for expansion


Gluck on your homework

Not only is homework but if the teacher is asking BUS, he's really introducing stuff that no longer exists. Feel like, why do I heave to learn this stuff again? Must be an old teacher stuck with old tech.
