Question

Write the difference between star and bus topology in networking

Answer 1

A bus topology is a networking architecture that is linear, usually
by using one or more pieces of cable to form a single line, or bus.
The signals sent by one station extend the length of this cable to
be heard by other stations.

A star topology is an architecture that includes a central device or
hub to connect all stations together. Signals sent by a station must
pass through (and are usually regenerated) by these central hubs.
Since the hub sits in the center and all other stations are linked
through the hub, the architecture resembles a star.

Answer 2

Hey there ☺

Here is your answer -:

__________________________


☆ STAR TOPOLOGY

--> All computers/nodes are connected to central host directly.
--> It has no connection between nodes.
--> Diificult when one of the nodes fails but easy to troubleshoot when the nodes is fails.
--> Easy to implenent and extend. Only add the nodes or devices to the host.
--> Failure of a node doesn't affect the entire LAN as long as host is working.



☆ BUS TOPOLOGY

--> All computers/nodes are connected to a single central cable (backbone).
--> It has no connection between nodes but connect to backbone.
--> Easy identification of cable faults.
--> Easy to implement and extend. New devices can be added to the backbone or to existing nodes.
--> Failure of node doesn't affect the entire LAN as long as backbone is working.
