Star Topology Diagram Advantage And Disadvantage
This article elaborates Star topology with diagram and its advantages and disadvantages
Network Topology: Topology refers to arrangement of the nodes in the network. Topology is the geometrical representation of linking devices (usually called nodes) to each other in LAN. Possible topologies which are being used are mesh, bus, star, tree and ring.
This article elaborates Star topology with diagram and its advantages and disadvantages.
Star Topology: In this type of arrangement, each node has dedicated point to point connection to a central controller hub. As there are no dedicated links between nodes this topology does not allow direct traffic between nodes.
 Advantages:
Star topology is less expensive than a mesh topology as there are no dedicated links between nodes and each device needs only one link and one I/O ports to connect it to any number of nodes.
Easy to install and make configurations.
Robust as failure of one link does not affect the entire system. The remaining system will be active.                  Â
 Disadvantage:
More cabling is required in a star than in other topologies (except mesh topology which requires max links).
Entire network collapse if central controller fails
