Star, Mesh, Hybrid Topologies



Star, Mesh, Hybrid Topologies

Simply star, mesh and hybrid topologies describe how devices plug into each other. In your office how your switchers are connect to each other.


Mesh topologies


In this topology we can reduce latency and also we have redundancy inside our network. When you have full mesh you have ultimate number of options to reach to location. But in this topology you have to care about cost.



Hybrid topologies

In this topology every this connect to every thing in the network. You have high level redundancy. But switchers do broadcasting between the networks when it happen broadcast massage flow through the network. So prevent that introduce STP (Spanning Tree Protocol – we’ll discussed it in future.) temporally stop one redundant link. In this topology network automatically become a complex one

Star Topology


This topology is cost effective. If some device doesn’t need to talk to someone in the network this topology is the best. In this switch do all the distribution process.

Check Aruba ClearPass Serial Number

  CHECK ARUBA CLEARPASS SERIAL NUMBER Today we are Going to learn how to check the serial number of a Aruba Clearpass this is useful because you need this to submit license and also if you raise a support ticket they ask the serial number of your CPPM. below i mention the steps  1. log into your ClearPass appliance using WebUI 2. In the Dashboard click on OS version of Clearpass 3. in the Dialog box you can find the serial number  Thanks!!!! Lets meet with another blog        

How to Configure Spanning Tree root bridge

How to Configure Spanning Tree root bridge Hi Today we going to talk about how to configure STP Root bridge, Root bridge election is happening with the switchers in the network, To become a root there should be some qualification among switchers, they are, bridge priority Lowest MAC  default bridge priority is  32769   this is tie among switchers then root elect using lowest MAC to change default root configure switch like below Switch#conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Switch(config)# Switch(config)# Switch(config)# Switch(config)# Switch(config)# Switch(config)# Switch(config)#sp Switch(config)#spanning-tree vl Switch(config)#spanning-tree vlan 1 ? priority Set the bridge priority for the spanning tree root Configure switch as root <cr> Switch(config)#spanning-tree vlan 1 ro Switch(config)#spanning-tree vlan 1 root ? primary Configure this switch as ...

Introduction to Spanning Tree Protocol

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)                                    Hi After some brake today I gone to talk about spanning tree protocol or STP, When the network expand we need some redundant connection from switch to switch because of stop network fail.                  When we deal with redundant connection It automatically create loops. As a result of loops our network create broadcast storms .                                             To prevent this we use STP. when we talking about STP we need to look at various features like  Root port Designated port Block port Bridge Priority   etc... STP is huge section in Networking from today we'll learn about this STP. My next lesson is how to identify th...
