How does the token ring hub improve the network? - CORRECT ANSWER -
It improves the reliability of the network.
It is a network of users that share computer resources in a limited area. -
CORRECT ANSWER - LAN
What is a solution to the troubleshooting and maintenance disadvantages of the
Token Ring system? - CORRECT 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. - CORRECT ANSWER - Token ring hub
Local Area Network - CORRECT ANSWER - LAN
How are Local Area Networks defined? - CORRECT ANSWER - In terms of
protocol and the topology used for accessing the network.
A set of rules established for users to exchange information - CORRECT
ANSWER - Protocol
The network architecture used to interconnect the networking equipment. -
CORRECT ANSWER - Topology
What are the most common topologies for LANs? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Ring, Bus, and Star
Uses a token that is placed in the data channel and circulates around the ring. -
CORRECT ANSWER - Token Ring topology
,A deterministic network - CORRECT ANSWER - Token Ring Topology
Each station connected to the network ensures access for transmission of its
messages at regular or fixed time intervals - CORRECT ANSWER -
Deterministic
What are the disadvantages of the Token Ring system? - CORRECT
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? - CORRECT 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.
Topology whereas the computers share the media or coaxial cable for data
transmission. - CORRECT ANSWER - Bus topology
The coaxial cable that is looped through each networking device to transmit
data in a bus topology - CORRECT ANSWER - ThinNet
In this topology, all devices on the network can see each other's data traffic. -
CORRECT 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. - CORRECT ANSWER - Bus topology
What are the disadvantages of a bus topology? - CORRECT 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? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Bus topology
What is the most common topology used in today's LANs? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Star topology
Topology that uses twisted-pair cables with modular plugs to connect computers
and other networking devices. - CORRECT ANSWER - Star topology
Topology whereas each device is connected to a switch or hub - CORRECT
ANSWER - Star
A switch or hub facilitates the transfer of data between networking devices in
this topology - CORRECT ANSWER - star
Transmits data to all the devices connected in the star network - CORRECT
ANSWER - hub
Also called a multiport repeater - CORRECT ANSWER - hub
Not meant for large networks, but are still used in some smaller, slower speed
LANs - CORRECT ANSWER - hub
A transmission from a hub in a star network to all the devices in the network
connected to the hub - CORRECT ANSWER - broadcast
Stores the hardware or physical address for each device connected to its ports in
a star network - CORRECT ANSWER - switch
