Zorluk: ZorNetwork Topologies and Types

An enterprise network architect is evaluating several network deployments and infrastructure physical/logical configurations across an organization. Match each architectural scenario on the left with its correct network topology or network type classification on the right.

  • A modern datacenter fabric designed to optimize high-throughput east-west traffic using a two-tier architecture where every edge switch connects to every core switch with uniform latency.Spine-Leaf Topology
  • A municipal network infrastructure interconnecting multiple city department buildings across a 25-kilometer urban area using leased dark fiber.Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
  • A legacy legacy industrial system connecting controllers along a single continuous linear coaxial segment that relies on 50-ohm terminating resistors at each physical end.Physical Bus Topology
  • A specialized high-speed network that provides servers with dedicated block-level access to disk arrays over Fibre Channel switches.Storage Area Network (SAN)

Cevap

Spine-Leaf Topology matches the two-tier datacenter fabric; Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) matches the 25-kilometer municipal building interconnection; Physical Bus Topology matches the linear coaxial segment requiring terminating resistors; Storage Area Network (SAN) matches the dedicated high-speed block-level storage network.
Each deployment scenario aligns precisely with its architectural definition: two-tier equal-hop datacenter fabrics form a Spine-Leaf topology; municipal networks covering a city footprint constitute a MAN; single-trunk coax requiring terminating resistors represents a physical Bus topology; and dedicated high-speed Fibre Channel storage infrastructure represents a SAN.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze datacenter east-west traffic design requirements.
Identified two-tier architecture connecting every edge switch to every core switch, which defines a Spine-Leaf topology.
Spine-Leaf offers predictable two-hop latency and high throughput for server-to-server traffic.
2
Evaluate geographic footprint of municipal network covering 25 km across a city.
Identified scope as broader than a single campus/LAN but smaller than a global WAN, which corresponds to a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN).
MAN scope covers an entire city or metropolitan region.
3
Examine physical cabling characteristics requiring terminating resistors on a single coaxial trunk.
Matches the physical Bus topology.
Bus topologies suffer from signal reflection unless terminated with proper resistors at both physical cable ends.
4
Determine classification for dedicated Fibre Channel server-to-storage network.
Identified as a Storage Area Network (SAN).
SANs offload block storage traffic from the production LAN onto dedicated storage fabrics.
