Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A collection of interconnected switches forms a single broadcast domain. Only a network layer device, such as a router, can divide a Layer 2 broadcast domain. Routers are used to segment both collision and broadcast domains.
Detailed explanation-2: -IP subnets should be segregated into different broadcast domains via the use of separate switches or VLANs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Virtual LAN (VLAN) A single LAN, interconnected with a layer 2 network switch may be partitioned in Virtual LANs (VLANs) so that they create multiple distinct broadcast domains.
Detailed explanation-4: -A wireless router (or WAP with wireless capabilities) creates multiple broadcast domains and multiple collision domains.
