In a star topology 

all nodes indirectly connect to each other through one or more


switches. The switch acts as a central point through which all communications are
passed. Large networks using a star topology are usually controlled by one or
more servers. Hence, the client-server model usually uses a star topology. With a
star topology setup, each node (such as a computer) within your company or
team connects to one central network device (which could be a hub, a switch, or a
computer) via a cable. The central network is the server, and the other devices
are clients.
