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 the difference between a domain local group global group and a universal group?

Global Group: Members of Global Group can come only from local domain but members can access resources in any domain. Domain Local Group: Members of Local Group can come from any domain but members can access resources only in local domain. Universal Group: Members can come from any domain and members can access resource in any domain. Hope this is easy:)


What is difference between vtp 1 and vtp 2?

Hi everybody the difference between VTP version 1 and version 2 are : 1- version 1 : it supports Token Ring Vlans 2- version 2 : it supports consistency checks .it means , when the new information about the VTP domain is entered through the command line or others as SNMP ,VTP version 2 will perform the consistency check . in VTP version 2 , if a switch is in transparent mode .it will forward the message without checking version information .


Which of these groups of organisms does not belong to the Domain Archaea?

What does cognitive domain mean?

Cognitive domain is one of the three classifications of learning objectives as explained by Bloom's Taxonomy. The cognitive domain deals with skills like knowledge, comprehension, and critical thinking. The cognitive domain is most highly valued in the traditional education system.


Differences between science and pseudo science?

Pseudo means "false" so pseudoscience is something claiming to be science that isn't. And science is ability to produce solutions in some problem domain

How many collision and broadcast domain are there if a router is directly connected to hub?

A hub contains a single collision domain and a single broadcast domain, regardless of the number of ports on the hub.


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.


Briefly describe about broadcast and collision domain.?

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.


Can the router break up collision domain?

Yes, routers can break up collision and broadcast domains.


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.


Is bridge a collision domain?

A bridge typically creates separate collision domains within the same broadcast domain. If you take a bridge with 2 ports, each port connects to a LAN segment that is in its own collision domain. Therefore, for a 2 port bridge you will get 2 different 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.


What is definition of router?

A router is layer 3 device whose each port is a separate broadcast and collision domain. router is a device that makes communication possible between two or more networks.

Is a VLAN essentially a collision domain?

No- A VLAN is a single broadcast domain. If the VLAN uses a hub, which essentially connects all devices on a single wire, the the VlAN would be a collision domain. However hubs are rarely seen these days. A network switch keeps every device separated on individual collision domains so every device is kept from colliding with any other device.


How many broadcast domain are created when you segment a network with 12-port switch?

Zero. No collisions can occur within a full-duplex environment, as transmit and receive operations are performed on another set of wires. Thus, no collision domains would exist. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/DC) is not part of a full-duplex network for this reason.


What devices can you use to limit the size of a collision domain?

A switch or router will limit the number of clients in a collision domain, thus limiting what can be in the collision domain.
