When two stations broadcast at the same time on a single segment of an Ethernet network what will happen?
When two stations broadcast simultaneously on a single segment of an Ethernet network, a collision occurs. Both stations' data packets interfere with each other, resulting in corrupted signals. Ethernet networks use a collision detection mechanism (CSMA/CD) to detect this, prompting the stations to stop transmitting, wait for a random time, and then attempt to retransmit their data. This process helps to manage access to the shared network medium and minimize data loss.

Which terms describe Ethernet destination addresses that can be used to communicate with more than one device at a time?
Ethernet destination addresses that allow communication with multiple devices are referred to as multicast and broadcast addresses. A multicast address targets a specific group of devices on the network, while a broadcast address sends messages to all devices on the local network segment. These addressing methods facilitate efficient data transmission in various networking scenarios.
What is the problem not caused by excessive broadcast traffic on a network segment?
Complex address schemes
How many broadcast domains are created when you segment a network with A 12 port switch?
100000
How would a repeater be used in an Ethernet segment?
Repeaters are usually used in coaxial based ethernet networks. For this purpose they are used to extend the length of a network segment. For example, in a 10base2 ethernet network the maximum length of a segment is 180 meters. A repeater could join two segments together to increase the length of the network and the number of clients in the network. In today's modern networks you will see neither coaxial networks nor repeaters in a LAN. Repeaters are used for DSL transmissions, but not for LANS.
Some more difference between single collision domain and broadcast domain?
A collision domain is a logical network segment where data packets can "collide" with one another for being sent on a shared medium, in particular in the Ethernet networking protocol. This is an Ethernet term used to describe a network scenario wherein one particular device sends a packet on a network segment, forcing every other device on that same segment to pay attention to it. A broadcast domain is a logical network segment in which any computer or other device connected to the network can directly transmit to any other on the domain without having to go through a routing device, provided that they share the same subnet address and are in the same VLAN, default or installed. More specifically, a broadcast domain is the area of the computer network composed of all the computers and networking devices that can be reached by sending a frame to the data link layer broadcast address. A very basic network that uses hubs rather than switches or routers is like a post office clerk checking the mail. One clerk looks at each letter to confirm that the mail is not for themselves.
What is different limited broadcast and directed broadcast?
Limited Broadcast - Sent to all NICs on the some network segment as the source NIC. It is represented with the 255.255.255.255 TCP/IP address. This broadcast is not forwarded by routers so will only appear on one network segment.Direct broadcast - Sent to all hosts on a network. Routers may be configured to forward directed broadcasts on large networks. For network 192.168.0.0, the broadcast is 192.168.255.255.
What is indicated by a hardware address of ff ff ff ff ff ff?
A hardware address of ff ff ff ff ff ff is a broadcast MAC address in Ethernet networks. This address is used to send packets to all devices on a local network segment, allowing communication with every device connected to that network. When a frame is sent to this address, all network interfaces on the same broadcast domain will receive and process the packet.
Can you have broadcasts at the Layer 2 level If so what would the MAC address be?
Yes, broadcasts can occur at the Layer 2 level in a network using Ethernet. The MAC address used for broadcast is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, which signifies that the frame should be sent to all devices on the local network segment. When a device sends a frame with this MAC address, all devices within the same broadcast domain will receive and process the frame.
Which of the two following might cause excessive data collisions on a ethernet network?
Excessive broadcasts, and using hubs instead of switches or routers to segment the network.
What is the difference between a populated segment and an unpopulated segment?
populated segments a network segment that contains ends nodes,such as work stations. unpopulated segments a network segment that does not contain end nodes, such as workstations. Unpopulated segments are also called link segments.
What purpose does a hub serve?
The hub is a device for connecting multiple ethernet devices together and making them act as a single network segment.
What are host id network id and broadcast id?
In networking, the network ID identifies a specific network segment and is used to route packets to the appropriate network. The host ID identifies a specific device (or host) within that network. The broadcast ID is a special address used to send messages to all devices on a network segment simultaneously, usually represented by the highest address in the subnet. Together, these IDs help in organizing and managing network communications efficiently.
