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.
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.
When do workstations share a collision domain?
two computers connected to the same hub AND two computers connected to the same access server
Can the router break up collision domain?
Yes, routers can break up collision and broadcast domains.
How many collision domain in a hub?
Hubs are not collision domains but a networking device. Hubs have single collision domain that makes them very undesirable for modern networks.
When segmenting a LAN what device cannot be used to reduce the collision domain?
Hubs do not reduce collision domains. All devices connected to the hub are in a single collision domain, where as on a switch, each port is its own collision domain.
Collision domain of router?
Like a switch, a router places nodes that are connected to it in separate collision domains.
Is bridge a collision domain?
A bridge typically creates separate collision domains within the same broadcast domain. If you take a bridge with 2 ports, each port connects to a LAN segment that is in its own collision domain. Therefore, for a 2 port bridge you will get 2 different collision domains.
What breaks up collision domains and broadcast domains?
On shared-media networks (i.e. hubs or pure ethernets), routers break up broadcast domains and bridges break up collision domains. Routers also break up collision domains. On switched networks, routers break up broadcast domains, and every switch port is its own separate 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.
How many collision domain do you have if you have 3 HUSwith 10 clients connected per HUB?
If, by "HUSwith" you mean "hubs with", and by "hub" you really mean "hub" and not "switch" then you'll have either three collision domains (if the three hubs are not connected to each other) or a single collision domain (if the three hubs are connected to each other). Replace the hubs with switches and you'll have 30 collision domains, if the switches are not connected, or 32 or 33 if they are (depending on how the inter-switch connections are made: two switches connected to a common third vs. each switch connected to both the other two).
Can I connect a Cisco catalyst 2950 switch to a hub?
Yes. A hub will be one giant collision domain for that entire switch port. So if its an 8 port hub and you have 8 devices connected to it that collision domain will have 8 devices in it.
