Are devices in a single collision domain in the same broadcast domain?
AnswerYes. You can't split a broadcast domain without also splitting the collision domain. The only devices that can split a broadcast domain are routers and layer 3 switches. Switches, bridges, and routers can all be used to split the collision domain. Hubs and repeaters do not split the collision domain or the broadcast domain.
What do switches create when they group a number of ports into broadcast domain?
this would be called virtual local area connection or a vlan
What is a result of connecting two or more switches together?
The size of the broadcast domain is increased
What devices extend the size of a broadcast domain?
Layer 1 (hubs) or Layer 2 (bridges or switches) devices.
How many collision and broadcast domain are there if a router is directly connected to hub?
A hub contains a single collision domain and a single broadcast domain, regardless of the number of ports on the hub.
Briefly describe about broadcast and collision domain.?
A collision domain consists of all the clients that could possibly cause a collision amongst themselves by sending a packet at the same time. Devices such as hubs create a single collision domain which means that everyone connected to the hub has the capability of causing a collision (which is a problem).A broadcast domain consists of all the clients that can receive the same broadcast packet. Unlike a collision domain this is not a problem. Think of it as those systems that are capable of receiving the broadcast message.
Which device is used to communicate between broadcast domains?
A router. The key word is create. you can not create a domain using a switch, repeater, or hub.
How does a layer 2 switch create collision domains?
When using network switches, each port on the switch is its own collision domain.
What are broadcast domains created with?
A broadcast domain is created any time you connect several clients together via a network connectivity device, such as a hub or switch or bridge. They would all be in the same broadcast domain for every client connected to them. Since a router does not forward broadcast messages, it creates different broadcast domains.
Where can one get information on a broadcast domain?
When looking to find information about broadcast domain then it may be worth visiting the Learning Network dot Cisco website as it offers information and services relating to broadcast domains.
Which action should the administrator take before creating the additional VLANs?
Create the VLANs on a switch in VTP server mode and allow them to propogate to the other switches in the domain.
What is the largest grouping of organisms above kingdom?
