n this type of network, each workstation connected to the server using a concentrator. Each workstation are not interconnected. So every user who connects to the server will not be able to interact and do nothing before the server computer is turned on. When the server computer is turned off, then the entire network connections will be disconnected. When compared with the mesh system, this system has a level of complexity that is much simpler network so that the system becomes more economical, but the burden shouldered fairly heavy central hub. Thus the possibility of the level of damage or disruption of these larger central. Relationships between nodes will be done through a device called a concentrator. Each node is connected by cable to the concentrator. So, there is no relationship between the cable station. In the star topology, node additions do not interfere with the system that was working, just add cables from the node to the concentrator. Similarly, if one node disconnected the cable will not interfere with other nodes that are currently working.

Excess star topology include:
1) Easy to detect an error, because the centralized network control.
2) Flexible in terms of installation of the new network, without affecting the existing network.
3) If one user connection cable is disconnected, then only the relevant user computers are not functioning and does not affect other users (the overall network relationships are still working).
Disadvantages star topology:
1) Boros in the use of cables, if connected to a larger network and wide.
2) Control only centered on the hub / switch so that operations need to be addressed specifically.
