Q

A group of systems that can have their data collide with one another is known as a ____________________.

(A) Broadcast domain

(B) VLAN

(C) Collision domain

(D) Multicast

A

C. Collision domain

A collision domain is an area of the network where one system can collide with another system. Each port on a network switch or bridge creates a separate collision domain, whereas all ports on a hub are part of the same collision domain.

17

31
Q

Which layer of the OSI model works with frames?

(A) Layer 1

(B) Layer 2

(C) Layer 3

(D) Layer 4

A

B. Layer 2

Layer 2 of the OSI model works with frames. This means that devices such as bridges and switches process frames because they are considered layer-2 devices. Note that at layer 3 the data being processed is called a packet because it has a layer-3 header, and at layer 4 the data is known as a segment.
