Advantages VS Disadvantage
Disadvantage of Ring Topology Failure of one computer can affect the total network Difficult to troubleshoot Adding or removing Computers disrupts the network A ring network requires more cable than a bus network. Star Topology In this type of topology all the computers are connected to a central device called a “hub" which may be a hub, a router or a switch. . This hub/switch is the central node and all other nodes are connected to the central node. The computers present in star topology cannot have a direct relation with each other. They have to be linked via hub. The minimum distance between node and hub is 100 meter. Advantages of Star Topology It is easy to prepare and connect. Failure of one computer does not affect the other. More nodes can be connected in it with it, propagation delay does not increase. It is easier to find faults in networks. Easy to troubleshoot. Easy to set up and modify. Disadvantage of Star Topology Failure of hub results in failure of
