WHAT
I'm trying to study to get my CCNA (640-802) degree :D I'm using my wiki to note what I'm trying to learn ! Much of the stuff here are from SYBEX CCNA Study guide (6th edition). Hope it'll help other people.
Software
I'm using GNS3 to emulate a Cisco environment. Get it from GNS3 Homepage
Internetworking Devices
Switches
They work at Layer 2
They break up "collision domains" only.
Routers (Layer 3 switches)
They work at Layer 3
Cisco calls them multiport bridges.
Advantages:
- They break up "broadcast domains" by default ( 1 broadcast domain per interface ).
- They break up "collision domains".
- Can filter network based on Layer 3 ( Network Layer ) information ( e.g., IP Address )
Useful at:
- Packet switching
- Packet filtering
- Internetwork communication
- Path selection
Bridges
They break up collision domains.
Hubs
They keep all hosts in the same collision domain.
They often cause traffic congestion if on a busy network.
Traffic Congestion
Can be caused by:
- Too many hosts in a broadcast domain
- Broadcast storms
- Multicasting
TEST
Test 1
Do you _SEE_ the "collision domains" and "broadcast domains" here :
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
9 collision domains
- All hub network - 1 collision domain
- The bridge network - 3 collision domains
- The switch network - 5 collision domains
3 broadcast domains
- Only the router breaks up broadcast domains ! It has 3 connections.
Test 2
Do you _SEE_ the "collision domains" here:

10 "collision domains"
