2. (TCO 3, 4, and 5) Consider the network shown below: (Circles represent end stations, rectangles represent network devices)

Answer the following questions with reference to this network and explain your answers:

Consider the network shown below: (Circles represent end stations, rectangles represent network devices) Answer the following questions with reference to this network and explain your answers: How many numbers of collision and broadcast domains does the network have? When station A sends a packet to station C, whose Ethernet address does station A use for the destination address? Suppose there is a two-way communication between stations A and B. Does station C get to see this traffic?

Explanation / Answer

1. A router is connected to 2 switches and each switch consists of 2 PCs.

- Broadcast domains = 2 , collision domains = 6

2. A router is connected to 1 switch and that switch is connected to another switch with 2 PCs on it.
- Broadcast domains = 1 , collision domains = 4

3. A router is connected to 1 switch and that switch is connected to a hub with 2 PCs on it.
- Broadcast domains = 1 , collision domains = 2
