Respuesta :
More cables are required to be connected because each computer individually connects to the central server
Single point of failure in case the server get down.
Too much dependency on central device has its own drawbacks. If it fails whole network goes down.
The use of hub, a router or a switch as central device increases the overall cost of the network.
Performance and as well number of nodes which can be added in such topology is depended on capacity of central device

Answer:
The disadvantages of a star network are:
it is expensive to install as this type of network uses the most cable (network cable is expensive)
extra hardware is required (hubs or switches) which adds to cost.
if a hub or switch fails, all the devices connected to it will have no network connection.
