Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -3.2. 3 The primary disadvantage of the star topology is the hub is a single point of failure: If the hub were to fall short the whole network would fail as a result of the hub being connected to every computer on the network. There will be communication break down between the computers when the hub fails.
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.
