Hi
I am currently doing my CCNA and discovered that there is very little on token ring apart from 1 page!
For my own interest I would like to see my home network running, as I have a 2502 router and a spare token ring card for my pc (both 9 pin shielded)
What else would I need to complete a simple network, ie equipment cabling etc, as no one in my office has a clue.

Cheers

Mark
 
You need token ring cables and a token ring hub. Check with EBay for them.

I got an 8 port Token Ring hub that uses RJ45 connectors and then bought DB-9 male to RJ45 cables.

Works Great.

I don't remember any Token Ring questions on the CCNA or so far on the CCNP (taken first 3 exams).
