Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In a star network, a cable failure on a single spoke will only affect the spoke endpoint that it links to the central computer. All the other workstations will continue to function normally with the exception that they will not be able to communicate with the device that resides on the failed spoke.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a Ring topology, each device is connected to two other devices in a circular fashion. Bus topology is a topology where each device is connected to a single cable which is known as the backbone. In Ring topology data is sent through the devices from sender to receiver device.
Detailed explanation-4: -Core failure: If the main central cable becomes damaged or faulty, the entire network will fail. Low security: This is a significant security issue because all nodes in the network can hear what data is transmitted to other nodes in the network.
