Q: What are the disadvantages of the Token Ring system? - ANSWER-1. If an error changes the token pattern, it can cause the token to stop circulating.
Q: What is a disadvantage of the Token Ring system from the troubleshooting and
maintenance? - ANSWER-The token ring path must be temporarily broken or interrupted if a computer or any device on the network is to be removed or added to the network.
Q: What is a solution to the troubleshooting and maintenance disadvantages of the Token Ring system? - ANSWER-Connect each computer or device on the network to a central token ring hub.
Q: A device that manages the passing of the token instead of relying on individual computers to pass it. - ANSWER-Token ring hub
Q: How does the token ring hub improve the network? - ANSWER-It improves the reliability of the network.
Q: Topology whereas the computers share the media or coaxial cable for data transmission. - ANSWER-Bus topology

2 Q: The coaxial cable that is looped through each networking device to transmit data in a bus topology - ANSWER-ThinNet
Q: In this topology, all devices on the network can see each other's data traffic. - ANSWER-Bus topology
Q: Topology whereas each computer must wait for pauses in transmission or until the transmission from one device is complete before initiating a new transmission onto the network. - ANSWER-Bus topology
Q: What are the disadvantages of a bus topology? - ANSWER-"1. Data can be corrupted if ore than one device on the network transmits at the same time and will have to be resubmitted.
- The use of the shared coaxial cable prevents data transmission from being very bandwidth-
efficient." It is a network of users that share computer resources in a limited area. - ANSWER-LAN
Q: Local Area Network - ANSWER-LAN
Q: How are Local Area Networks defined? - ANSWER-In terms of protocol and the topology used for accessing the network.
Q: A set of rules established for users to exchange information - ANSWER-Protocol
Q: The network architecture used to interconnect the networking equipment. - ANSWER- Topology
Q: What are the most common topologies for LANs? - ANSWER-Ring, Bus, and Star 2 / 4

Q: Uses a token that is placed in the data channel and circulates around the ring. - ANSWER- Token Ring topology
Q: A deterministic network - ANSWER-Token Ring Topology
Q: Each station connected to the network ensures access for transmission of its messages at regular or fixed time intervals - ANSWER-Deterministic
Q: Which topology is seldomly used in modern networks? - ANSWER-Bus topology
Q: What is the most common topology used in today's LANs? - ANSWER-Star topology
Q: Topology that uses twisted-pair cables with modular plugs to connect computers and other networking devices. - ANSWER-Star topology
Q: Topology whereas each device is connected to a switch or hub - ANSWER-Star
Q: A switch or hub facilitates the transfer of data between networking devices in this topology - ANSWER-star
Q: Transmits data to all the devices connected in the star network - ANSWER-hub
Q: Also called a multiport repeater - ANSWER-hub 3 / 4

Q: Not meant for large networks, but are still used in some smaller, slower speed LANs - ANSWER-hub
Q: A transmission from a hub in a star network to all the devices in the network connected to the hub - ANSWER-broadcast
Q: Stores the hardware or physical address for each device connected to its ports in a star network - ANSWER-switch
Q: Sends data transmissions directly to the port of the destination device on the network - ANSWER-switch
Q: The physical input/output interfaces to the networking hardware - ANSWER-port
Q: Where the cables physically connect to each other or a central switch or hub - ANSWER-Port
Q: Only the intended destination device on this network will see the data traffic - ANSWER-star
Q: What is an advantage of the star topology? - ANSWER-It improves the efficiency of the available bandwidth of the network
Q: What is an advantage of the star topology from the troubleshooting and maintenance? - ANSWER-A device can be removed or added without disrupting other devices on the network
Q: All devices are connected to each other - ANSWER-mesh topology
