Question

Which of the following is true about the token ring technology? (Choose all that apply.)

a. Less expensive than CSMA/CD networks.
b. Only the computer with the token can transmit data.
c. It uses a physical ring topology.
d. It uses RTS/CTS signaling before transmission can occur.
e. All computers have equal access to the media.

Answer 1

The token ring technology only allows the computer with the token to transmit data, uses a physical ring topology, and gives all computers equal access to the media.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statements about the token ring technology are:

• Only the computer with the token can transmit data:
• In a token ring network, a token is passed from one computer to the next. Only the computer with the token can transmit data, ensuring that data collisions are avoided.
• It uses a physical ring topology:
• In a token ring network, the computers are connected in a physical ring configuration. Each computer has a direct connection to the next computer in the ring.
• All computers have equal access to the media:
• In a token ring network, all computers have equal access to the media. The token is passed around the ring, allowing each computer the opportunity to transmit data when it has the token.
