It is a network of users that share computer resources in a limited area. -
SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** LAN
Local Area Network - SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** LAN
How are Local Area Networks defined? - SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** In terms of
protocol and the topology used for accessing the network.
A set of rules established for users to exchange information - SELECTED ANSWER
👀**** Protocol
The network architecture used to interconnect the networking equipment. -
SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** Topology
What are the most common topologies for LANs? - SELECTED ANSWER 👀****
Ring, Bus, and Star
Uses a token that is placed in the data channel and circulates around the ring. -
SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** Token Ring topology
A deterministic network - SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** Token Ring Topology
,2|Page
Each station connected to the network ensures access for transmission of its
messages at regular or fixed time intervals - SELECTED ANSWER 👀****
Deterministic
What are the disadvantages of the Token Ring system? - SELECTED ANSWER
👀**** 1. If an error changes the token pattern, it can cause the token to stop
circulating.
What is a disadvantage of the Token Ring system from the troubleshooting and
maintenance? - SELECTED 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.
What is a solution to the troubleshooting and maintenance disadvantages of the
Token Ring system? - SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** Connect each computer or
device on the network to a central token ring hub.
A device that manages the passing of the token instead of relying on individual
computers to pass it. - SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** Token ring hub
How does the token ring hub improve the network? - SELECTED ANSWER 👀****
It improves the reliability of the network.
Topology whereas the computers share the media or coaxial cable for data
transmission. - SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** Bus topology
, 3|Page
The coaxial cable that is looped through each networking device to transmit data
in a bus topology - SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** ThinNet
In this topology, all devices on the network can see each other's data traffic. -
SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** Bus topology
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. - SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** Bus topology
What are the disadvantages of a bus topology? - SELECTED 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.
2. The use of the shared coaxial cable prevents data transmission from being very
bandwidth-efficient."
Which topology is seldomly used in modern networks? - SELECTED ANSWER
👀**** Bus topology
What is the most common topology used in today's LANs? - SELECTED ANSWER
👀**** Star topology
Topology that uses twisted-pair cables with modular plugs to connect computers
and other networking devices. - SELECTED ANSWER 👀**** Star topology
Topology whereas each device is connected to a switch or hub - SELECTED
ANSWER 👀**** Star
