Final answer:
The correct statements regarding switched Ethernet LANs are about destination addresses, data collisions, and half-duplex mode.
Therefore, the correct answer is: option d). all statements are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Ethernet switching connects wired devices such as computers, laptops, routers, servers, and printers to a local area network (LAN).
Multiple Ethernet switch ports allow for faster connectivity and smoother access across many devices at once.
The correct statement(s) regarding switched Ethernet LANs are:
- Ethernet switches must read the destination addresses of each incoming data packet to determine which outgoing port it should be sent through.
- Data collisions do not occur on switched Ethernet LANs that are configured in full-duplex (fdx) mode.
- With half-duplex (hdx) switched Ethernet, the use of CDMA/CD is still required since data collisions can occur.
Therefore, statement a, b, and c are correct.
