How many frames can passthrought a24port hub at one instance in time with no colllition occurring?
Since Hubs are Physical-layer devices and do not segment collision domains (which switches do), the answer is "one". Since switch DO segement collision domains, a switch can pass as many frames as it has ports.
Which Cisco layer is responsible for breaking up collision domains?
data link
Which technology allows you to divide broadcast domains using a layer 2 switch?
VLAN
What layer of the OSI model is a Switch on?
It operates on the data link layer of the OSI model (level 2). The switch creates a separate collision domain for each port. Although some switches operate on level 3 of the model and are called multi-layer switches.
Ws-c3560-24ps-e is layer 2 switch or layer3 switch?
It is a layer 3 switch
What is the difference between switch and router?
Routers operate at layer 3 of the OSI model while switches operate at layer 2. The data transmission form of a router is called a packet while in a switch, it is called a frame. Routers are mainly used in wide area networks while switches are used in local area networks.
How does using a hub or a repeater affect the size of the collision domain?
A layer 1 device will extend a collision domain
In a three-layer hierarchical network design which distribution layer function delineates broadcast domains?
routing between VLANs
Identify the data categories that are used to create a network configuration table for a layer 2 switch?
all but IP routing protocols
Why is a switch called as layer 2 device?
because one layer is the electrical part, and the other layer is the place where the switch is on.
What is the purpose in a network switch?
Switches connect multiple devices on a network, similar to a hub, but with one difference. Switches have the ability to "remember" which device is connected to which switch-port - and only retransmit to switch-port connecting the destination-device for which the data is intended, thereby creating multiple collision domains (which is good - less chance for lost data). In contrast, a hub simply retransmits the data to EVERY interface on it, creating one huge collision domain.
What is another term for a layer 3 switch?
router operates on Layer 3 and can be used as a switch
