A token ring network uses a physical topology that is often depicted as a circular arrangement, where devices (nodes) are connected in a closed loop. Each node is connected to a central medium, and a token circulates around the ring, granting permission to transmit data to the node that holds it. This structure ensures that only one device can send data at a time, reducing collisions and improving network efficiency.

What network use star topology?
Star topology:- In this topology all PC are connected with the central device. Central may be HUB and SWITCH. Star widely use in all over word. Ring topology:- In this ring topology all PC are connected in the frame of ring are close Ring topology use MSAU each PC has a two never road one is called up Stream and called down stream. It used token passing Matterhorn which implement the token ring network. " Is the best of star topology".
SONET uses which topology?
SONET use RING physical topology and TOKEN logical topology. As simple as that. Logical topology deals with the data transmission. Physical topology deals with how the network is connected physically , BUS, RING, STAR and the like.
Which technoloigies use token passing method and a physical star but logical ring topology?
Token Ring
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.
How is a FDDI network like a Token Ring network How is it different?
Both Token Ring and FDDI use the concept of a ring topology structure. However, Token Ring is used in a LAN, and FDDI is used in a MAN.Token Ring is implemented with copper cable (UTP cable) and FDDI uses Fiber Optic cable.Finally, the protocols are very different between the two. FDDI uses a synchronous type of transmission, where Token Ring uses an actual token (a 3 character packet) to control who has access to transmit or receive on the network. FDDI does not use this technique.
What is local area network and ring topology?
A Local Area Network (LAN) may use many different types of topologies (how the network is physically wired). If one uses a ring topology, then a special type of managed hub is usually used which implements packet switching in a round, ring structure, in which each station is visited by the packet in linear sequence. Ring topologies also involve the use of a 'token', which describes whether a station on the ring may use the network or not. Ring topology can be considered as a LAN and it is rarely used nowadays.
You are implementing a 100BaseT network Which logical topology does the network use?
ring/hybrid
Which technologies use token passing method and a physical star but logical ring topology?
token ring uses a physical star and a logical ring ,while FDDI uses a physical star/ring and a logical ring.
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 is tokens as in token ring networks?
The token is a special 3 byte sequence that indicates the state of the ring; it may mark the ring as in-use, or free (anyone can use it), or health status. Any client needs to have access to the token before transmitting or receiving on the ring network.
What is the function of network topology?
yes, network topology does matter to design a network. as we know that topology is a structure of network. without a topology network cannot be designed. we have to consider which topology to use and what does each topology does. different topology have its different features. if you want most secure connection use full mesh topology
