What else can I help you with?
Do bridges and switches separate collision domains?
Not only do bridges and switches separate collision domains but routers also perform this task.
What device separates collision domains?
Bridges, Switches and Routers will all separate 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.
Can the router break up collision domain?
Yes, routers can break up collision and broadcast domains.
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.
Why are nonroutable protocols not used in Wan connections requiring routers or other Layer3 devices?
It's because of collision and broadcast domains. Routers allow to break both.
Sophisticated networks generally use which of the following hardware devices to ease the flow of data packets throughout the network?
Modern networks used two devices for the data packets within the network will flow easily. The two devices are the routers and switches.
What is one feature that distinguishes routers from Layer 2 switches?
Routers support a variety of interface types. Switches typically support Ethernet interfaces.
Brouters combine the characteristics of switches and routers?
Yes
Do Brouters combine the characteristics of switches and routers?
Yes
How many routers and switches do you need to connect 81 computers?
Depends on how many switches each router takes. You need a router to connect all the other routers, and then enough switches to make 81. For example, you can use 6 16 port routers to connect the computers and 1 8 port router to connect those routers together
What is stack routers?
To stack routers means to physically stack routers. Some stack a couple of routers on top of each other if they plan to just use them as switches or similar.
