Back to the basics

Okay quick and easy.

If a bridge, not a switch, is connected to a router and that bridge has two hubs conected to it. Is that 2 collision domains or 3?

Todd says 2 I say 3. Todd says the two segments that the hubs are on are the only 2 collision domains. I say what about the line from the bridge to the router. Isn't that a collision domain as well???????

As with switches, bridges create a seperate collision domain for each connected node/device. I dont have lamelles books so unfortunately I can't interpret the example. But from what your saying yes it would be 3. Check the books IBAN number and check for errata on their site or something.
