Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Star topologies are easy to manage in most ways but they are far from cheap to set up and use.
Detailed explanation-2: -Star topology is more expensive than bus topology because it requires more cables and hubs. However, it is easier to troubleshoot than bus topology because each cable only carries data between two devices (the hub and the attached device).
Detailed explanation-3: -Disadvantages of a Star Topology Requires more cable length than a linear topology. If the hub, switch, or concentrator fails, nodes attached are disabled.
Detailed explanation-4: -High cost: Central device Dependency: High maintenance: Prone to damage: Low data transfer rates in the wireless system: Immobile network system:
