Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -In star topology, if the central core fails, the whole system will get affected, and even you cannot use the Computer Network. In a Bus topology, if the network cable fails, the whole network will also fail.
Detailed explanation-3: -A star topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which all nodes are individually connected to a central connection point, like a hub or a switch. A star takes more cable than e.g. a bus, but the benefit is that if a cable fails, only one node will be brought down.
