Explain Star Network Topology With Advantages and Disadvantages

Topic: Explain the Working Star Network Topology With Advantages and Disadvantages Star Topology Star Topology is the most popular and widely used network topology in local area networks . In star topology , all computers are connected with a central device known as HUB or Switch. Now-a-days Hubs are often replaced by Fast Network Switches. The working of Star Topology The sender computer sends data to the hub. The hub sends it to the destination computer. So, all data communication is managed through HUB or Switch. In a star network, each node (file server, workstations, and peripherals) is connected to a central device called a hub.  The hub takes a signal that comes from any node and passes it along to all the other nodes in the network. The star topology reduces the chance of network failure by connecting all of the systems to a central node. What is Star topology?  Advantages and Disadvantages of star topology Note: The major difference between a Network
