What are the advantages and disadvantages of a physical star topology?

What will be an ideal response?

A physical star is the easiest topology to setup and expand. You are only limited by your available ports. You can easily expand the number of ports by adding yet another device and forming an extended star. The centralized design makes monitoring and managing network traffic easier. With a bus, the bandwidth is limited to 10Mbps and half-duplex mode. A star can operate at much higher speeds and, if a switch is used, is capable of operating in full-duplex mode. There is only one main disadvantage-that is that the central device represents a single point of failure.
