What does a star network look like?

A star network topology consists of a central hub or switch to which all other devices, known as nodes, are directly connected. Each node communicates with the hub rather than directly with other nodes, creating a structure that resembles a star when visualized. This design allows for easy addition or removal of devices and isolates network issues to individual nodes, enhancing overall reliability. However, if the central hub fails, the entire network becomes inoperable.
