CCNA Study Guide

The Cisco Three-Layered Hierarchical Model
By http://www.SemSim.com © 2004

Continued...(Page 3 of 3)

Rather, a switch is an advanced version of a hub.

A collision domain describes a portion of an Ethernet network at layer 1 of the OSI model where any communication sent by a node can be sensed by any other node on the network. This is different from a broadcast domain which describes any part of a network at layer 2 or 3 of the OSI model where a node can broadcast to any node on the network.

At the access layer, you can:
Enable MAC address filtering: It is possible to program a switch to allow only certain systems to access the connected LANs.
Create separate collision domains: A switch can create separate collision domains for each connected node to improve performance.
Share bandwidth: You can allow the same network connection to handle all data.
Handle switch bandwidth: You can move data from one network to another to perform load balancing.
