about one of the technote questions

What are valid data rates for a Token Ring network? (Choose 2)

a. 4 Mbps
b. 10 Mbps
c. 16 Mbps
d. 100 Mbps


This question somewhat confused me, the Fiber Distributed Data Interface is another token ring network that supports 100 Mbps. I got it wrong cause the answers were a and b.

How come d is not a right answer??

    -On Regular token ring networks the transfer rate is 4mbps and 16mbps.

    -HSTR (High Speed Token Ring) = 100 mbps

    -FDDI travels over Fiber media usually for backbones on Networks, therefore the transfer rate is 100 mbps.

    -Where was this question from?

    Nothing in the question said about the difference in Token Ring networks, just speed. FDDI is a Token Ring Network


    the question is in the 60 question section of the Network+ technotes test questions

    FDDI is not a Token Ring network. It somewhat similar, but not nearly the same thing. It uses a ring topology and passes a token, but it is not identical to the Token Ring standard. Token Ring is a standard created by IBM, it supports 4 and 16 MBps.

    You can read the details and differences between Token Ring and FDDI in the following TechNotes:

    mobri09 explained it very well. HSTR supports 100 Mbps, but in this question I mention Token Ring, which generally refers to the 4 and 16 Mbps version, else it would explicitely mention the HS part.

    No problem. icon_wink.gif

    It's good to doubt and double check the things you read.
