VLANs.
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.
this would be called virtual local area connection or a vlan
Layer 1 (hubs) or Layer 2 (bridges or switches) devices.
A group of nodes that hear each other's traffic is typically referred to as a "broadcast domain." In a broadcast domain, all devices within that domain can communicate directly with each other without needing to route through a different network segment. This is common in local area networks (LANs) where devices can send broadcast messages that all other devices in the domain can receive. The size of a broadcast domain can be affected by network devices like routers and switches, which can segment or expand these domains.
A hub contains a single collision domain and a single broadcast domain, regardless of the number of ports on the hub.
A collision domain consists of all the clients that could possibly cause a collision amongst themselves by sending a packet at the same time. Devices such as hubs create a single collision domain which means that everyone connected to the hub has the capability of causing a collision (which is a problem).A broadcast domain consists of all the clients that can receive the same broadcast packet. Unlike a collision domain this is not a problem. Think of it as those systems that are capable of receiving the broadcast message.
A router. The key word is create. you can not create a domain using a switch, repeater, or hub.
When using network switches, each port on the switch is its own collision domain.
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.
Connecting two or more switches together creates a network switch stack, which allows for increased network capacity, redundancy, and manageability. This setup enables devices connected to different switches within the stack to communicate with each other seamlessly and efficiently.
When looking to find information about broadcast domain then it may be worth visiting the Learning Network dot Cisco website as it offers information and services relating to broadcast domains.
A domain is a larger and more inclusive category than a kingdom. There are three domain i.e. Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
