What is a star topology?

• A star topology is a network topology where all devices are connected to each other in a circular manner.

• A star topology is a network topology where all devices are connected to a central server.

• A star topology is a network topology where all devices are connected to a mesh network.

• A star topology is a network topology where all devices are connected to a central hub or switch.
