Star Topology

                            Star Topology



A star topology is designed with each node (like workstations, printers, laptops servers etc.,) connected directly to a central network hub/switch. Each workstation has a cable that goes from the network card to network hub or switch.


Advantages of Star Topology

 Easy to install and wire.

 No disruptions to the network then connecting or removing devices.

 Easy to detect faults and to remove parts.

Disadvantages of Star Topology

 Requires more cable length than a linear topology.

 If the hub fails, nodes attached are disabled.

 More expensive than linear bus topologies because of the cost of the devices.
