Terribly written answer for C

hamish88Option: B

B. connects server and client device to a network. An endpoint is a device or software application that acts as a point of origin or destination for data transmitted over a network. Endpoints can include computers, smartphones, servers, printers, and other networked devices. The function of an endpoint on a network is to connect a client device or a server to a network so that it can send or receive data. Endpoints can also provide additional functionality such as security, data backup, or remote access. Option A is incorrect as providing wireless services is typically the function of a wireless access point (WAP) rather than an endpoint. Option C is incorrect as recording data and transmitting it to a file server is a task that can be performed by a client device, but not necessarily by an endpoint. Option D is incorrect as forwarding traffic between VLANs is typically the function of a layer 3 switch or a router, rather than an endpoint.

but on an end point, which can be "computers, smartphones, servers, printers, and other networked devices." you can record data and transmit to a file server... this makes C the correct answer

B is wrong. intermediate devices connects server and client to a network .example of a intermediate device is switch . example of endpoint is server,laptop

Guys i don't know why you think about B An Endpoint doesn't Connect servers and clients and end point is a client or a server

B. Connects server and client device to a network. Cisco devices, such as switches and routers, are often involved in connecting servers and client devices to a network.

B is switch or router. so it is not endpoint. C can be a server that records date and send this data to other file server maybe. when i read transmit i think it is a middle device. i chose B but C is correct. i learn from my fault. Chat gpt also said B then i convinced chat gpt

I checked for the definition of endpoints cause some people here indicating network devices are endpoints. However, I have found none on the internet saying that but only people here. Thought its possibly a uniquely Ciscos jargon but it does not seem so. Below is one example. Ciscos page. ---------What are endpoints? Endpoints can be physical devices such as computers, laptops, printers, phones, and tablets, or virtual endpoints such as cloud services, web-based applications, and other network-accessible resources. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/endpoint-security/what-is-endpoint-protection.html The question should be "what is an example of an endpoint" C. allows users to record data and transmit to a file server

Client devices are endpoints. Switches and Routers connect servers and client devices. Correct is C . From a computer I can "record" data , meaning i can save it and send data .

In the context of the question, both options B and C are valid functions of an endpoint, but option B describes a broader function—connecting server and client devices to a network—which encompasses the role of endpoints in facilitating communication between various devices on the network.

Followng hierarchical order of network devices' connection, we cannot connect end-pont device with end-point device, hence C is the correct answer.

B Yes, endpoints can indeed allow users to record data and transmit it to a file server. This functionality falls under the broader category of connecting client devices to a network, which was represented by option B in the previous response. Endpoints encompass a wide range of devices, including user devices like computers, smartphones, and tablets. These devices can be used by users to perform various tasks, such as recording data, accessing applications, and communicating with other devices or servers on the network. When users record data on their devices, such as creating documents, taking photos, or capturing videos, they can then transmit this data over the network to a file server for storage, sharing, or backup purposes. The endpoint acts as the interface through which users interact with the network and its resources, including file servers.
