How many collision domains exist in a network with one switch, one hub, and three computers connected to each?

2

What is the primary purpose of a router in a network with one switch, one hub, and three computers connected to each?

to connect multiple networks and route traffic between them

How many broadcast domains exist in a network with one switch, one hub, and three computers connected to each?

2

What would be the result of connecting multiple computers to a single hub?

A single collision domain would be created, increasing the likelihood of packet collisions and network congestion.

What is the main difference between a switch and a hub in terms of packet forwarding?

A switch forwards packets to the specific destination device, whereas a hub broadcasts packets to all connected devices.

Kuinka collision domain ayaa jira ee hub-ka iyo switch-ka ku xidhxidha 3 computer oo kala hub-ka iyo switch-ka ku xidhxidha?

2

Kuinka broadcast domain ayaa jira ee router-ka iyo switch-ka iyo hub-ka ku xidhxidha 3 computer oo kala hub-ka iyo switch-ka ku xidhxidha?

2

Maxay tahay farqiga u dhexeeya hub iyo switch ee packet forwarding-ka?

Hub-ka waxa uu packet-ka u diraa in uu u guureen cada computer, laakiin switch-ka waxa uu packet-ka u diraa in uu u guureen computer-ka loo soo jeedin

Kuinka collision domain ayaa jira ee router-ka iyo switch-ka ku xidhxidha 3 computer oo kala switch-ka ku xidhxidha?

2

Maxay tahay farqiga u dhexeeya hub iyo switch ee network-ka?

Hub-ka waxa uu cada computer ugu sameeya, laakin switch-ka waxa uu cada computer ugu sameeyaa kanaalka loo soo jeedin

Study Notes

Network Configuration

  • A network consists of 1 switch, 1 hub, 1 router, and 6 computers (3 connected to the switch and 3 connected to the hub)
  • A switch has its own collision domain for each port, so there are 3 collision domains for the 3 computers connected to the switch
  • A hub has only 1 collision domain, which means all 3 computers connected to the hub are in the same collision domain
  • Total collision domains: 3 (from the switch) + 1 (from the hub) = 4
  • A router divides a network into multiple broadcast domains, so there is 1 broadcast domain for all computers connected to the router (including those connected to the switch and hub)
  • Total broadcast domains: 1

Test your understanding of computer networks by identifying the number of collision and broadcast domains in a network setup with switches, hubs, and routers. Measure your knowledge of networking fundamentals and improve your skills.
