What are the answers for Network plus Guide to Networks Fifth Edition Chapter 5 case project 5-1?

Answer 1

This is a known homework question for courses entitled Networking Fundamentals; if you are taking the class you should know how to structure the answer. If not, ask your instructor for a suggested answer. The Fifth Edition authors have 'an' answer, but it is not always the 'only' answer.

All the computers in the lab are running on TCP/IP not token ring. Token ring directs links between nodes and a ring topology, using tokens to allow nodes to transmit data. TCP/IP provides the foundation for data exchange across the internet.
