Exam Cybersecurity-Architecture-and-Engineering Topic 1 Question 186 Discussion

* In a star network topology, each network device is connected to a central device like a hub or a switch.
* This central device acts as a repeater for data flow.
* The other options:
* Bus topology uses a single central cable.
* Mesh topology involves each device being connected to every other device.
* Ring topology connects devices in a circular fashion.
* Therefore, the star topology correctly describes a network where devices connect to a central hub or switch.
