Detailed explanation-2: -In star topology, every node (computer workstation or any other peripheral) is connected to a central node called hub, router or switch. The switch is the server and the peripherals are the clients.
Detailed explanation-3: -A star network is a local area network (LAN) topology in which all nodes–personal computers (PCs), workstations or other devices–are directly connected to a common central computer that is often referred to as a hub. Therefore, a star network is often referred to as a hub-and-spoke network topology.
Detailed explanation-4: -A star topology is designed with each node (file server, workstations, and peripherals) connected directly to a central network hub, switch, or concentrator (See fig.
