CCNA 1.1 Internetworking Basics

  • Internetwork is created when two or more LANs or WANs are connected via a router
  • Network Segmentation involves breaking up a network into a number of smaller portions for network traffic efficiency
  • Network Segmentation can be achieved by using devices such as router, switches and bridges (Hub doesn't segment network)
  • A switch/bridge can replace the hub, breaking up collision domains
  • A router can replace the switch/bridge, breaking up broadcast domains
