What is the result of segmenting a network with a bridge (switch)?
1.It increases the number of collision domains.
2.It decreases the number of collision domains.
3.It increases the number of broadcast domains.
4.It decreases the number of broadcast domains.
5.It makes smaller collision domains.
6.It makes larger collision domains.
Answer: A
Correct answer: 1 and 5
Each port becomes its own collision domain, so segmenting with a switch both increases the number of collision domains and makes each of them smaller - two ways of stating the same result, which is why both statements are correct. Broadcast domains are unaffected, since a switch floods broadcasts throughout; dividing those requires a router or VLANs.
