⩥ Local Area Network. Answer: LAN
⩥ How are Local Area Networks defined?. Answer: In terms of protocol
and the topology used for accessing the network.
⩥ A set of rules established for users to exchange information. Answer:
Protocol
⩥ The network architecture used to interconnect the networking
equipment.. Answer: Topology
⩥ What are the most common topologies for LANs?. Answer: Ring,
Bus, and Star
⩥ 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
