Star/Bus
Configuration
This standard combines two topologies, where groups of workstations connected into
stars are linked in the same manner as individual workstations on a bus.
Protocols
•
TCP/IP
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) combines two protocols, i.e.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and IP (Internet Protocol). TCP is responsible for
the connection to the terminal system, supporting flow control, packet receipt
acknowledgement, packet sequencing, checksum validation and resending. IP defines
packet format and addressing. The address space and IP address format depend on IP
version:

•
NetBEUI
NetBEUI is supported by the Microsoft Windows family of systems (from Windows for
Workgroups onwards), and is closely related to NetBIOS, providing transport services as
requested by NetBIOS.
•
NetBIOS
NetBIOS is an interface designed for programmers who develop IBM LAN Server,
Microsoft LAN Manager and OS/2 local area networking software.
It establishes communications sessions between computers and manages the
connections.
•
IPX
IPX is a peer-to-peer networking protocol built into Novell NetWare.
Organizational units
•
Workgroups
Workgroups provide a simple method for organizing computers and users on a local area
network into logical groupings. They support the definition of various privileges for
individual groups, and make it easier to manage the network.
•
Domains
Like workgroups, domains are designed to facilitate network management. The hierarchy
of domains is similar to that of a nation, with the country (main domain), states
(subdomains of the main domain), counties (subdomains of subdomains), and so on.
Depending on its place in the hierarchy, each domain can have different privileges, which
helps enforce network security.
Other
•
DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) supports automatic TCP/IP configuration
(IP address assignment, DNS configuration, default gateway configuration, etc.). A DHCP
server assigns arbitrary IP addresses to computers using a specific pool, or specific
settings, depending on configuration.
