Detailed explanation-1: -In star topology, the central site plays an important role; if it fails, all the connections will go down.
Detailed explanation-2: -Star Topology: This is one of the advantages of a star Topology as it is easy to isolate the faulty device and repair or replace it without affecting the entire network. However, if the central hub or switch fails, then the entire network will be affected, and communication between all devices will stop.
Detailed explanation-3: -Disconnecting a particular node in a star network will not disrupt service on the rest of the network, and the concentrator can easily locate a malfunctioning network node. If the concentrator fails, the entire network will be disabled. Some examples of star network include Ethernet switches and hubs.
