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.

What device separates collision domains?

Bridges, Switches and Routers will all separate collision domains.


How many collision domains and broadcast domains are there in the given network topology?

To determine the number of collision and broadcast domains in a network topology, one must analyze the devices involved. Each switch creates separate collision domains for each connected device, while a router or Layer 3 switch creates separate broadcast domains. Without a specific topology diagram or description, it's impossible to provide an exact count; however, generally, each switch adds collision domains, and each VLAN or router adds a broadcast domain.


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.
