Explain star connection?

A network star topology has all the clients connect to a central device, such as a hub or switch. The clients look like points of a star, hence the term star topology.

Star topology


In topology there is a central controller or hum?

No, there is not.


If one system failed in star topology what happens?

In a star topology only the failed system would have a problem, unless the device was the network connectivity device (on a LAN).In a WAN, if the building was connected through the central building and the central building had a problem then all buildings would be affected. If it isn't the central connection point then only the building with the problem would be affected.


Which topology uses a central device for point-to-point connections to other devices?

A star topology; a network topology in which endpoints on a network are connected to a common central device by point-to-point links.


Which topology is common these days Justify your answer with five reasons?

One of the most popular topologies for Ethernet LANs is the star and extended star topology. It is easy to setup, it's relatively cheap, and it creates more redundancy than the Bus Topology. The Star Topology works by connecting each node to a central device. This central connection allows us to have a fully functioning network even when other devices fail. The only real threat to this topology is that if the central device goes down, so does the entire network. The Extended Star Topology is a bit more advanced. Instead of connecting all devices to a central unit, we have sub-central devices added to the mix. This allows more functionality for organization and subnetting- yet also creates more points of failure. In many cases it is impractical to use a Star Topology since networks can span an entire building. In this case, the Extended Star Topology is all but necessary to prevent degraded signals. Whereas the Star Topology is better suited for small networks, the Extended Star Topology is generally better for the larger ones.


What is the physical network topology in which each node is connected to a central point?

It is called a Star topology
