Star Topology
star topology is type of network where all nodes are connected to a central hub
topology
The physical layout of a network
list 4 advantages of star topology
Due to its centralized nature it
is easy to monitor through the switchit is easy to detect and troubleshoot failure
new nodes can easily be added without affecting the functionality
~The failure of one cable does not affect the entire network
List 3 disadvantages of Star topology
` The switch is expensive for large networksIf the central hub/Switch fails ,the entire network fails and all communication is lost
the central hub Determines the perfomance and how many nodes can the network handle
