A network engineer is troubleshooting intermittent connectivity issues in a legacy network. The physical topology is a star, but the logical topology is token-passing. Users report that the network slows down significantly when a particular device is connected. What is the most likely cause?

The device is not passing the token correctly, causing delays in transmission rights.

The network is using a bus topology, not a star.

The physical star topology is incompatible with token-passing.

The device is broadcasting frames to all devices, overwhelming the network.

A network engineer is designing a network for a small business that requires high availability but has a limited budget. They are considering a partial mesh topology. What is the primary advantage of a partial mesh over a full mesh?

Eliminates all single points of failure

Increases broadcast domain size

Reduces cabling and cost while providing redundant paths

Simplifies network troubleshooting
