FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -In a star topology, computers aren’t connected to one another but are all connected to a central hub or switch.

Detailed explanation-2: -Star topology is used for Local Area networks in which all nodes are connected to a central point called Hub, which connects them to the communication channel.

Detailed explanation-3: -In star topology, each computer is connected to a central hub using a point-to-point connection. The central hub can be a computer server that manages the network, or it can be a much simpler device that only makes the connections between computers over the network possible.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hub manages and controls all functions of the network. It also acts as a repeater for the data flow. The star topology reduces the impact of a transmission line failure by independently connecting each host to the hub. Each host may thus communicate with all others by transmitting to, and receiving from, the hub.

Detailed explanation-5: -Star topology is a type of network topology in which every device in the network is individually connected to a central node, known as the switch or hub. When represented visually, this topology resembles a star which gives it its name.
