Which of the following statements are TRUE regarding carrier sense multiple access collision detection (CSMA/
CD)? (Choose three.)

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.

Explanation:
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.
