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.
