On shared-media networks (i.e. hubs or pure ethernets), routers break up broadcast domains and bridges break up collision domains. Routers also break up collision domains.

On switched networks, routers break up broadcast domains, and every switch port is its own separate collision domain.

Can the router break up collision domain?

Yes, routers can break up collision and broadcast domains.


How can a router split up broadcast domains?

Since a router does not forward broadcast messages it automatically splits up the broadcast domains for all clients connected to them.


How many broadcast domain are created when you segment a network with 12-port switch?

Zero. No collisions can occur within a full-duplex environment, as transmit and receive operations are performed on another set of wires. Thus, no collision domains would exist. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/DC) is not part of a full-duplex network for this reason.


Do switches break up broadcast domains?

NO

What is meant by single broadcast domain and single collision domain?

A collision domain is a section of a network where data packets can collide with one another when being sent on a shared medium or through repeaters, in particular, when using early versions of Ethernet. A network collision occurs when more than one device attempts to send a packet on a network segment at the same time. Collisions are resolved using carrier sense multiple access with collision detection in which the competing packets are discarded and re-sent one at a time. This becomes a source of inefficiency in the network.[1]Only one device in the collision domain may transmit at any one time, and the other devices in the domain listen to the network in order to avoid data collisions. Because only one device may be transmitting at any one time, total network bandwidth is shared among all devices. Collisions also decrease network efficiency on a collision domain; if two devices transmit simultaneously, a collision occurs, and both devices must retransmit at a later time.Collision domains are found in a hub environment where each host segment connects to a hub that represents only one collision domain and only one broadcast domain. Collision domains are also found in wireless networks such as Wi-Fi.Modern wired networks use a network switch to eliminate collisions. By connecting each device directly to a port on the switch, either each port on a switch becomes its own collision domain (in the case of half duplex links) or the possibility of collisions is eliminated entirely in the case of full duplex links.A broadcast domain is basically a VLAN. The broadcast domain defines how far a Layer-2 broadcast will propagate on the network, which is to say the broadcast will hit every device on the VLAN, or every device on the "subnet". Routers block broadcasts by design. If you need to leave your broadcast domain (get off your local subnet) then you jump up to layer 3 and go through a router to talk to machines on some other broadcast domain. The layer 2 broadcast will typically traverse all hubs, bridges and switches in a single VLAN. If you question was in the context of using a "single broadcast domain" just be careful not to do that for a relatively large network with several hundred or thousands of nodes, or the network performance and/or the end-station performance will suffer because of all the broadcast traffic.

What are the advantages to creating separate subnets and domains per department in a large corporation?

Creating multiple subnets for different departments allows for many benefits, such as: -Breaking up large broadcast domains, this reduces the chances of a broadcast storm and also will also reduce the impact when broadcast are sent out. -Separation of services, this helps keep people from HR from accessing files in the engineering department who dont need to. -Enhanced security, if a worm break out occurs in one subnet it will be a little harder for that worm to propagate along side making it harder for "hackers" to gain full control of network resources or do a fullsystem mapping of a corporate network.
