AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS
Uses a token that is placed in the data channel and circulates around the ring. -
ANSWER -Token Ring topology
A deterministic network - ANSWER -Token Ring Topology
Each station connected to the network ensures access for transmission of its
messages at regular or fixed time intervals - ANSWER -Deterministic
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.
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.
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.
A device that manages the passing of the token instead of relying on individual
computers to pass it. - ANSWER -Token ring hub
How does the token ring hub improve the network? - ANSWER -It improves the
reliability of the network.
Topology whereas the computers share the media or coaxial cable for data
transmission. - ANSWER -Bus topology
, The coaxial cable that is looped through each networking device to transmit data
in a bus topology - ANSWER -ThinNet
In this topology, all devices on the network can see each other's data traffic. -
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. - ANSWER -Bus topology
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.
2. The use of the shared coaxial cable prevents data transmission from being very
bandwidth-efficient."
Which topology is seldomly used in modern networks? - ANSWER -Bus
topology
What is the most common topology used in today's LANs? - ANSWER -Star
topology
Topology that uses twisted-pair cables with modular plugs to connect computers
and other networking devices. - ANSWER -Star topology
Topology whereas each device is connected to a switch or hub - ANSWER -Star
A switch or hub facilitates the transfer of data between networking devices in this
topology - ANSWER -star
Transmits data to all the devices connected in the star network - ANSWER -hub
Also called a multiport repeater - ANSWER -hub
, Not meant for large networks, but are still used in some smaller, slower speed
LANs - ANSWER -hub
A transmission from a hub in a star network to all the devices in the network
connected to the hub - ANSWER -broadcast
Stores the hardware or physical address for each device connected to its ports in a
star network - ANSWER -switch
Sends data transmissions directly to the port of the destination device on the
network - ANSWER -switch
The physical input/output interfaces to the networking hardware - ANSWER -port
Where the cables physically connect to each other or a central switch or hub -
ANSWER -Port
Only the intended destination device on this network will see the data traffic -
ANSWER -star
What is an advantage of the star topology? - ANSWER -It improves the
efficiency of the available bandwidth of the network
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
All devices are connected to each other - ANSWER -mesh topology
What is an advantage of the mesh network? - ANSWER -It provides full
redundancy in the network data paths
What is a disadvantage of the mesh network? - ANSWER -The additional data
paths increase the cabling cost and the network hardware cost. It is also very
complex.
