1. Identify the components you need to create the network topology. This includes all computers, servers, routers, and switches. Determine if you will be connecting any external devices such as printers, scanners, or other peripheral equipment.
2. Map out the physical layout of the network topology. Determine which pieces of hardware will be connected to each other and where they will be placed. Draw a diagram of the layout.
3. Design the logical structure of the network topology. Consider which protocols and technologies will be used to connect the components together.
4. Select the appropriate cabling and wiring necessary to physically construct the network topology. Make sure that the cables/wires meet the standards for the type of connections needed.
5. Install the hardware components in their respective locations, connecting them using the cabling and wiring previously identified. Configure the settings of the connected devices to match the design of the logical structure.
6. Test the network topology to make sure it is functioning correctly. Run tests such as ping and trace route to ensure that the connections are stable and data can be transferred between machines correctly.
