Star
The physical network topology that has the inherent weakness of a single point of failure is the star topology. In a star topology, all devices are connected to a central hub or switch. If this central device fails, the entire network becomes inoperable, as all communication relies on it. This makes the network vulnerable to disruptions if the hub experiences any issues.
The physical topology that operates around a central network device is known as a star topology. In this configuration, all network devices are connected to a central hub, switch, or router, which facilitates communication between them. This design enhances reliability, as the failure of one connection does not affect the entire network, though the central device's failure can lead to network disruption. Star topology is commonly used in home and office networks due to its simplicity and ease of management.

The most common LAN topology is that of a "star." In a star topology, each computer, or "node", is connected to a central hub. This is more reliable than a more classical "ring" topology, because a node failing will not bring down the entire network. A bus topology is arguably more reliable, but has poorer performance.

STAR Topology
A hybrid is a combination of two or more basic network topologies, such as a star-bus, star-ring, or tiered topology.
