I assume you're talking about a network.

On a token network, all of the computers wait to send data until they have the token. The token is a piece of data that travels around the network (picture all of the computers set up in a circle) giving each one a chance to send their data. After that computer has sent the data, the token moves on to the next.

It prevents data collision on the network.

Which topology uses token passing as an access method?

The Token Ring topology uses token passing as an access method. In this network configuration, a token, which is a small data packet, circulates around the network nodes, granting permission to the device holding it to transmit data. This method helps to prevent collisions and ensures orderly access to the network medium. Token passing can also be found in other protocols like Token Bus and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI).

What is access method for ring topologies?

In a ring topology, the access method used is typically token passing. In this method, a token is passed around the ring from one node to the next, allowing nodes to transmit data when they possess the token. This helps in controlling and managing the network traffic in a structured manner.

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.
