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.
What is an effective way to minimize the frequency and effects of broadcast storms on an Ethernet LAN?
Using a layer two network device (a switch) which will minimize broadcast storms because the device will maintain a table of hardware addresses and forward packets only to the relevant port.
Which device forwards broadcast traffic?
HUB in a collision Domain, Switch in Local Network.Broadcasting in network is done to locate devices in Network. Hub broadcasts through all its port whereas Network Switch Broadcast traffics within a Port & out of all ports only if new device is to be found.
How do you control the broadcast?
by installing switch you can control the broadcast
Why an Xray machine is an Input Device?
An x-ray machine would be an input device in terms of data collection because it gets its data from the patient. It would also be an output device because it gives an image that a doctor can use. And yes, x-ray machines do broadcast radiation through a patient. But that is part of the process of collecting the data and not the primary intention.
What separates broadcast domains?
router
Which networking device increases the size of both collision domains and broadcast domains?
A Router
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.
Whic network layer device can separate anetwork into different broadcast domains?
ROUTER!
What device separates collision domains?
Bridges, Switches and Routers will all separate collision domains.
Do subnets create broadcast domains or collision domains?
No
How can a router split up broadcast domains?
Since a router does not forward broadcast messages it automatically splits up the broadcast domains for all clients connected to them.
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.
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.
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.
Do switches break up broadcast domains?
NO
Are Vlan's capable of breaking up broadcast domains?
YES
