Familiarize yourself with token ring and FDDI protocols.Read the objectives at the beginning of the chapter.The operation of these devices is described in Chapter 8, "Bridging and Switching Operations." At the Data Link layer, LANs may be connected with either a bridge or a switch. Various network designs or layouts commonly are used to set up a LAN.LAN environments at the Data Link layer may be set up with token ring, Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), or one of many ethernet data-link protocols.
