Questions and Answers(Verified Answers by Expert)
1. It is a network of users that share computer resources in a limited
area.✅✅ -
LAN
2. Local Area Network✅✅ LAN
3. How are Local Area Networks defined?✅✅ In terms of protocol and
the topology used for accessing the network.
4. A set of rules established for users to exchange information✅✅ Protocol
5. The network architecture used to interconnect the networking
equipment.-
✅✅ Topology
6. What are the most common topologies for LANs?✅✅ Ring, Bus, and
Star
,7. Uses a token that is placed in the data channel and circulates around
the ring.✅✅ Token Ring topology
8. A deterministic network✅✅ Token Ring Topology
9. Each station connected to the network ensures access for
transmission of its messages at regular or fixed time intervals✅✅
Deterministic
10.What are the disadvantages of the Token Ring system?✅✅ 1. If an
error changes the token pattern, it can cause the token to stop
circulating.
11.What is a disadvantage of the Token Ring system from the
troubleshoot- ing and maintenance?✅✅ The token ring path must be
temporarily broken or inter- rupted if a computer or any device on the
network is to be removed or added to the network.
12.What is a solution to the troubleshooting and maintenance
, disadvan- tages of the Token Ring system?✅✅ Connect each
computer or device on the network to a central token ring hub.
13.A device that manages the passing of the token instead of relying
on individual computers to pass it.✅✅ Token ring hub
14.How does the token ring hub improve the network?✅✅ It improves
the relia- bility of the network.
15.Topology whereas the computers share the media or coaxial cable
for data transmission.✅✅ Bus topology
16.The coaxial cable that is looped through each networking device
to transmit data in a bus topology✅✅ ThinNet
17.In this topology, all devices on the network can see each other's
data traffic.✅✅ Bus topology
