Explain the beaconing algorithm.
What will be an ideal response?
An active monitor in each ring sends a beacon frame every seven seconds. The beacon frame is passed from one station to another one. If there is a faulty station in the ring, it will not be able to respond to its upstream neighbor. In this situation, the upstream neighbor waits for seven seconds. If it does not receive any response, it will notify the network of the lack of contact. It will then send a message that includes its address and the address of the neighbor station. Based on this information, the ring network will recognize the faulty station and attempt to diagnose and repair the problem.
