In a star network topology each device is connected to a central unit. Any communication between one device and another goes through the central unit. The image shows a typical configuration using central server and peripherals. Each device is directly connected to the central server, which is a computer containing the interface cards and software ;to manage all data communication in this network. If a user at workstation 2 wants to print out a page, workstation 2 sends that request to the central server. This central server notifies workstation 2 when that task is complete.
