Outline the three general network topologies (bus, ring, and star). Describe the components, devices, and arrangement of components and devices involved in each topology, as well as some of the pros and cons of each configuration.

A bus network topology has the set up in which all the devices are connected by a common shared cable called the bus. The bus architecture has several common instances which include the one in the motherboard, (of most computers) and some with the versions of the Ethernet. It is also commonly known as the ‘backbone’.
Some of the advantages of the bus network topology are as follows:
• It is easy to implement and extend
• It is well suited for temporary or small networks not requiring high speeds (quick setups)
• Faults with the cable are easily identified
• The bus topology is less expensive than other topologies
• Only a single cable is used making it cost effective

Some of the disadvantages of the bus network topology are as follows:
• The bus topology
