How does using a hub or a repeater affect the size of the collision domain?
A layer 1 device will extend a collision domain
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.
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.
After an Ethernet collision when the backoff algorithm is invoked which device has priority to transmit?
any device in the collision domain whose backoff timer expires first
Is a VLAN essentially a collision domain?
No- A VLAN is a single broadcast domain. If the VLAN uses a hub, which essentially connects all devices on a single wire, the the VlAN would be a collision domain. However hubs are rarely seen these days. A network switch keeps every device separated on individual collision domains so every device is kept from colliding with any other device.
What devices can you use to limit the size of a collision domain?
A switch or router will limit the number of clients in a collision domain, thus limiting what can be in the collision domain.
What is collusion domain?
A computer network can be segmented physically but also logically. A collision domain is one of the logical network segments in which the data packets can collide to each other. One of the most common protocols used when referring to a collision domain is the Ethernet protocol. Collision domains are often referred as 'Ethernet segments'. The term of 'collision domain' is also used when describing the circumstances in which a single network device sends packets throughout a network segment and forces every other device in that network segment to pay attention to those packets.
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.
What is a single collison domain?
A collision domain is an area on the network where two devices may attempt to transmit at the same time. A hub has 1 collision domain overall. A switch has 1 collision domain per interface. The fewer devices in 1 collision domain, the better. ----
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.
How do routers and switches separate collision domains?
in my opinion there is no any collision domain in the router......but switch has collision domains for each interfaces & hub has one collision domain
What is another name for contention domain?
Collision domain
