How many broadcast domains are created when you segment a network with A 12 port switch?
100000
What is the problem not caused by excessive broadcast traffic on a network segment?
Complex address schemes
How would a repeater be used in an Ethernet segment?
Repeaters are usually used in coaxial based ethernet networks. For this purpose they are used to extend the length of a network segment. For example, in a 10base2 ethernet network the maximum length of a segment is 180 meters. A repeater could join two segments together to increase the length of the network and the number of clients in the network. In today's modern networks you will see neither coaxial networks nor repeaters in a LAN. Repeaters are used for DSL transmissions, but not for LANS.
Some more difference between single collision domain and broadcast domain?
A collision domain is a logical network segment where data packets can "collide" with one another for being sent on a shared medium, in particular in the Ethernet networking protocol. This is an Ethernet term used to describe a network scenario wherein one particular device sends a packet on a network segment, forcing every other device on that same segment to pay attention to it. A broadcast domain is a logical network segment in which any computer or other device connected to the network can directly transmit to any other on the domain without having to go through a routing device, provided that they share the same subnet address and are in the same VLAN, default or installed. More specifically, a broadcast domain is the area of the computer network composed of all the computers and networking devices that can be reached by sending a frame to the data link layer broadcast address. A very basic network that uses hubs rather than switches or routers is like a post office clerk checking the mail. One clerk looks at each letter to confirm that the mail is not for themselves.
What is different limited broadcast and directed broadcast?
Limited Broadcast - Sent to all NICs on the some network segment as the source NIC. It is represented with the 255.255.255.255 TCP/IP address. This broadcast is not forwarded by routers so will only appear on one network segment.Direct broadcast - Sent to all hosts on a network. Routers may be configured to forward directed broadcasts on large networks. For network 192.168.0.0, the broadcast is 192.168.255.255.
Which of the two following might cause excessive data collisions on a ethernet network?
Excessive broadcasts, and using hubs instead of switches or routers to segment the network.
What is the difference between a populated segment and an unpopulated segment?
populated segments a network segment that contains ends nodes,such as work stations. unpopulated segments a network segment that does not contain end nodes, such as workstations. Unpopulated segments are also called link segments.
What purpose does a hub serve?
The hub is a device for connecting multiple ethernet devices together and making them act as a single network segment.
What device separates broadcast domains?
SwitchDescription: Network Switch a device that seperates the Broadcast domain of a LAN segment from other segments.
What is collison domain?
A collision domain is a physical network segment where data packets can collide with one another when being sent on a shared medium.A group of Ethernet or Fast Ethernet devices in a CSMA/CD LAN that are connected by repeaters and compete for access on the network. Only one device in the collision domain may transmit at any one time, and the other devices in the domain listen to the network in order to avoid data collisions.A collision domain is sometimes referred to as an Ethernet segment.
What refers to a specific type of network transmission that is meant to be noticed and read by all recipients on any cable segment?
It's called broadcast.
Why do hosts on an ethernet segment that experience a collision use a random delay before attempting to transmit a frame?
A random delay helps prevent the stations from experiencing another collision during the transmission.
