Detailed explanation-1: -Star Topology All devices are connected to a central switch, which makes it easy to add new nodes without rebooting all currently connected devices. This topology makes efficient use of cable and is easy to administer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Star topologies provide an inherent advantage that a new site can be added with ease; only the central site will have to be updated. In star topology, the central site plays an important role; if it fails, all the connections will go down. Performance of the central hub dictates the performance of the connection.
Detailed explanation-3: -Star network topologies are used in many networks, large and small. In a star network topology all nodes connect to each other indirectly through one or more switches or hubs .
