Draw and describe architecture for a network using star topology to establish a laboratory with 10 computers

 The architecture for a network using star topology is as shown in the figure

• A star topology is a topology where every node in the network is connected to one central switch. Every device in the network is directly connected to the switch and indirectly connected to every other node. 

• The relationship between these elements is that the central network hub is a server, and other devices are treated as clients. 

• The central node has the responsibility of managing data transmissions across the whole network and acts as a repeater. 

• With star topologies, computers are connected with a coaxial cable, twisted pair, or optical fibre cable.

• In terms of physical network structure, star topologies require fewer cables than other topology types. This makes them simple to set up and manage over the long term.

• The simplicity of the overall network design makes it much easier for administrators to run troubleshooting when dealing with network performance faults.
