Exam 200-301 | Question id=5337 | Network Fundamentals |
Which of the following statements are TRUE regarding carrier sense multiple access collision detection (CSMA/CD)?
A. |
Networks are segmented into multiple collision domains using switches for CSMA/CD networks | |
B. |
Networks are segmented into multiple broadcast domains using switches for CSMA/CD networks. | |
C. |
CSMA/CD networks normally operate on half-duplex mode. | |
D. |
CSMA/CD networks normally operate on full-duplex mode. | |
E. |
Gigabit Ethernet uses CSMA/CD as the media access control method. | |
F. |
Gigabit Ethernet uses carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) as the media access control method. |
The following statements are true:
* Networks are segmented into multiple collision domains using switches for CSMA/CD networks
* CSMA/CD networks normally operate on half-duplex mode
* Gigabit Ethernet uses CSMA/CD as its media access control method
CSMA/CD is a Local Area Network (LAN) access method used in Ethernet. In CSMA/CD, if a device or a node wants to send a packet in the network, it first determines if the network is free. If the network is not free, then the node will wait before sending the packet into a network. If the network is free, then the node sends the packet; if another device sends a packet simultaneously, their signals or packets collide. When the collision is detected, both packets wait for a random amount of time before retrying.
The option stating that networks are segmented into multiple broadcast domains using switches for CSMA/CD networks is incorrect because networks are segmented into multiple broadcast domains using routers for CSMA/CD networks.
The option stating that CSMA/CD networks normally operate on full-duplex mode is incorrect; these networks normally operate on half-duplex mode. The option stating that gigabit Ethernet uses CSMA/CA as the media access control method is incorrect because gigabit Ethernet uses CSMA/CD as the media access control method.
