Which Solution Would Help A College Alleviate Network Congestion Due To Collisions?

Which solution would help a college alleviate network congestion due to collisions?

• A firewall that connects two internet providers.
• A router with five Ethernet ports.
• A router with two ethernet ports.
• A density switch with a high port. 

Answer: Switches give the micro segmentations which reduce collision in a way that one device with the same ethernet bandwidth does not affect the other network device. The connectivity is fast with a density switch with a high port.

What is port density?

The port density is defined as the number of ports that are present on a switch. On a single device, the fixed or estimated port that is assisted by the switches is 48 in numbers. It contains an option of having four additional ports for SFP (small form-factor pluggable) devices. With high density, a fixed space is used effectively. If you have 2 switches then and each switch has 24 ports then 46 devices are connected with it and a few of the ports of the switches are damaged or lost by connecting with other networks. However, if you have a switch with 48 ports then 47 devices are connected with it and one port is for other networks and one power outlet is required for it.

Most of the modular switches use high-port densities with extras multiple switch port line cards.ie some of the 6500 catalyst switches assist 1000 switch ports. Big organizations use high-port density switches to make effective use of space and power. Without it, the switch needs extra fixed-configuration switches for adjusting the devices which are needed in the network interface, and they use a lot of space and power. Those who built the network must take into the consideration of uplink bottleneck. A constant configuration switches use additional ports for bandwidth. A single-modular switch uses less bandwidth because the backplane of the chassis gives the required bandwidth to board the connected devices with switch port line cards. 

Few of the high port density switches are KS-616F and KS-624F and have two optic slots. They are built because they consume less power and reduce the traffic on the network, less in cost, and give the solution to almost every problem. Some of the features are discussed in the following sections:

• They give the 16 or 24 10 /100 Mbps speed with half and full-duplex auto ports.
• Gives the extra RJ-45 jackets for easy TP uplink connection.
• Assist a full-duplex mode.
• Assist with LED indication to show the TP port, Fiber Port, etc.
• The module of the fiber optic is present in different media types such as MT-RJ.
