Re: Difference in Broadcast Domain and Collision Domain......
Thanks for the clarification and a great explanation Willy - missed that one! VLANs on switches do filter broadcasts. You would, however, need a router to have hosts on two VLANs talk to each other.

RE: Difference in Broadcast Domain and Collision Domain......
Collision domains: Station A sends out a frame, this frame can collide with an other frame from station X on the "wire". Station A and all other stations that could be station X form a collision domain, this includes ports from routers and switches. A collision domain means all the stations that share the same physical "wire" directly or indirectly through a repeater (hub). Bridges, switches and routers break up collision domains Broadcast domains: Station A sends out a broadcast, this broadcast can be received by station X. Station A and all other stations that could be station X form a broadcast domain. Broadcasts are normally forwarded by bridges and switches. Routers normally filter broadcasts (not always, think about IP HELPER function). However switches do also VLANs, this means that not all broadcasts are forwarded out all ports. A broadcast stays within its VLAN !!!. --> switches can break up collision domains and by using VLANs also can break up broadcast domains.

Hi all, How we r going to differentiate between a broadcast domain and a collision domain. Can we co-relate this to a router and a switch or a bridge. -SU ___ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Difference in Broadcast Domain and Collision Domain......
Yes we can Suresh. Broadcast Domains are the ones between two routers - Routers segment broadcast domains. Switches segment collission domains. Segmentation with switches will reduce collissions but broadcasts will still be forwarded out all ports.
