The physical topology of a network describes the layout of the cables and workstations and the location of all networkcomponents. Choosing the layout of how computers will be connected in a company’s network
is critical. It is one of the first choices you will make during the design of the cabling system,
and it is an important one because it tells you how the cables are to be run during the installation.
Making a wrong decision regarding physical topology and media is costly and disruptive
because it means changing an entire installation once it is in place. The typical organization
changes the physical layout and physical media of a network only once every 5 to 10 years, so
it is important to choose a configuration that you can live with and that allows for growth.
