MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -Centralized network: Centralized management helps monitor the network by using the central computer, hub, or switch. User-friendly: In star topology, new nodes can be added easily without affecting the rest of the network. Similarly, components can also be removed easily.

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: -Advantages of star topology : More scalable than a peer to peer network or ring network. Easy to add a new station. Easy to install and wiring. Low network traffic.

Detailed explanation-4: -They benefit in terms of low latency between the hub and remote nodes. But lacks in terms of connection where if any one of the nodes gets disturbed or goes down the entire nodes on the same network gets disturbed. A star topology is mainly deployed in areas such as corporate offices, schools, and homes.

Detailed explanation-5: -As there is dedicated bandwidth to each switch, the bandwidth requirements of the links within a star topology will be lower than that of a ring. This means a star topology while having more interfaces can actually result in lower cost solution than a ring topology.
