What is difference between Token Ring Token Bus?
In a token bus network architecture, the nodes at either end of the bus do not actually meet. In a token ring, the network logically functions as a ring, but is wired as a star.
What is the purpose of the token frame in a token ring network?
To indicate to the network that a particular node is about to transmit data
Ring topology is active or passive?
Oh, dude, ring topology is technically passive because the data travels in one direction around the network, relying on each device to pass it along like a hot potato. So, it's like a chill relay race where everyone just hands off the baton without adding any extra energy. So, yeah, it's passive, but don't worry, it's not like the network is taking a nap or anything.
What if a computer is powerer off in a token ring Does token will be bypassed or ring topology will break up?
The hub and/or the active monitor program will be aware of the system that is turned off, and the attempt to send that system the token will be bypassed. Standard token ring systems are designed to avoid systems that are turned off or non-functioning. The network keeps running.
What is the purpose of a token in a token-passing network?
The token indicates current "ownership" of the ring, in that only one client at a time can have access to the network. If you don't have the token you can't do anything on the network. It also indicates the status of the ring, whether it is in use, available to transmit on, health status, etc.
What type of network access method is used on a ring network?
Token passing
Can you change the frame type of an Network Interface card in an Ethernet network be used in a token ring network?
no. The differences between ethernet and token ring are greater then the frame type. Ethernet uses CDMA and token ring uses.....well a token. Token ring adapters have an on-board processor for source route bridging which uses a RIF field and ethernet has nothing of the sort. There are many more examples, but the simple answer is it will not work. fm
Which type of network uses a token in passing data?
ring
The hub in a token ring network which houses the actual ring is also known by what acronym?
The hub in a token ring network that houses the actual ring is known as a Media Access Unit (MAU). The MAU is responsible for managing the token passing and ensuring that data packets are transmitted in an orderly fashion around the ring. It connects all the devices in the network and facilitates communication between them.
How does a token ring work?
3. Unlike Ethernet, Token Ring uses a ring topology whereby the data is sent from one machine to the next and so on around the ring until it ends up back where it started. It also uses a token passing protocol which means that a machine can only use the network when it has control of the Token, this ensures that there are no collisions because only one machine can use the network at any given time.
What IEEE 802 standards describes Token Ring?
Token Ring is described by the IEEE 802.5 standard. This standard defines the physical and data link layers for Token Ring networks, which use a token-passing protocol for controlling access to the network. Token Ring networks typically operate at speeds of 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps and utilize a star topology with a token that circulates around the network to manage data transmission.
