The Bus topology is one of the simplest and the very common of the four network topologies to use. it is simply a case of running one cable (referred to as the backbone) from the first device/PC in the network to the last device/PC, and then add any further devices/PCs to the existing cable (backbone) between the first and last machines. From computer server to switch if the client computer connects to switch they can access the server easily.
The mesh topology, each device/PC is connected to every other device/PC in the network by its own cable, which means vast amounts of cables for any sizable network. This topology provides fault tolerance by having separate cables for each connection, allowing any one cable to break without interfering with the rest of the network.
The star topology connects the devices via a centralized unit. A Star topology gives great fault tolerance, as any device/cable failure will not affect the rest of the network (unless the centralizing device or server (if vital) fails).
The Ring topology networks the devices by connecting each device to its two neighboring devices Data is passed one way from device to device, fault tolerance in a physical ring topology is non existant, if one device/cable fails then the whole network goes down.
