Question

what is mac protocol used in token ring lan's? what happen if token is lost​

Answer 1

Answer:

Token passing is the access technique used by the token ring topology. You can go to any CC that has begun the distribution exercise to get your token replaced if it has been lost, stolen, or is damaged. If relevant, don't forget to bring the defective or damaged token with you. The initial replacement of missing tokens is free, as is the cost of replacing any defective or damaged tokens.

Explanation:

It circulates a token, a particular three-byte frame, among a logical ring of workstations or servers. With the elimination of conflicts caused by contention-based access techniques, this token passing channel access method offers fair access to all stations.

It's possible that the station switched down after you used the token. The token will be lost in this scenario.

The Monitor must create fresh Token in order to handle such circumstances. If the token is not received after the maximum Token Return Time, the Monitor will generate a new Token.

A lost Token's initial replacement is free. Replacements after the first are $$9$ per token. Only at Community Centers/Clubs may lost Tokens be replaced. Pay Now, EZ-link, Nets Flash pay, Mastercard, VISA, JCB, and Union Pay are all acceptable forms of payment.
