An understanding of the following key points should have been achieved:
Bridging and switching evolution
Content-addressable memory (CAM)
Bridging latency Store-and-forward and cut-through switching modes Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP)
Collisions, broadcasts, collision domains, and broadcast domains The Layer 1, 2, and 3 devices used to create collision domains and broadcast domains Data flow and problems with broadcasts Network segmentation and the devices used to create segments
