If two hosts are connected to a single four port network hub with separate cables, how many collision domains are there?
EXPLANATION
collisions are a normal characteristic of networks. You cannot stop
all collisions from occurring, as that would be unrealistic. A better
goal is to try to minimize that number of collisions that take place.
To
do so, you need to divide your Ethernet segment
into smaller collision domains, which will result in fewer hosts per
collision domain. To accomplish this, you have to use a switch. Every
switchport has its own collision domain. This means that if you connect,
for example, four hosts to four different switchports, you will have
four collision domains
