Detailed explanation-1: -Advantages of Star Topology 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: -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-3: -Disadvantages of a Star Topology Requires more cable length than a linear topology. If the hub, switch, or concentrator fails, nodes attached are disabled. More expensive than linear bus topologies because of the cost of the hubs, etc.
