It seems I'm mainly getting you guys to help clear up discrepancies between my existing knowledge and my damned course book.

With MAU's on a token ring network, I had always been under the impression you were able to have up to 33 MAU's on one network without issues. My course book is trying to tell me 12, maximum. Which is correct, as I've found references for both (though I'm inclined towards 33, which was indicated by Sybex)

for those that didn't know, or pointed at the thread and chanted *ha ha, she's a dunce*, here's the answer to my own question. This wasn't pointed out in my course documentation, and I have scathed at the tutor:

IBM small moveable Token Ring networks allow up to 12 MAU's.

IBM large Token Ring networks, surprise surprise, allow up to 33 MAU's.

 

I'm doing the Scheidegger course, which then wouldn't surprise a lot of people about the dating of the info. But I referenced it to a few different texts, including Sybex, so I wasn't that worried in the end.
