Which two statements are correct regarding Layer 2 network switches? (Choose two.)
Which two statements are correct regarding Layer 2 network switches? (Choose two.)
Layer 2 network switches flood broadcast traffic to all ports except the port where the broadcast was received. Additionally, switches are susceptible to traffic loops, which can cause broadcast storms and network instability if loop prevention protocols like Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) are not in place. Each port on a switch represents its own collision domain rather than creating a single collision domain for the entire switch.
The answer should be AB. D is incorrect, switches create a collision domain for each port
A and B
A) One inherent characteristic of switches is their susceptibility to traffic loops, especially in networks with redundant paths. Without proper loop prevention protocols like STP, loops can cause broadcast storms and network instability. B) Additionally, switches inherently flood broadcast traffic to all ports within the broadcast domain, except the port on which the broadcast was received. This is because broadcast frams are meant to be delivered to all devices within the VLAN, and the switch ensures this by flooding these frames to all ports in the VLAN, except the source port.
AB, Are port in a switch is a collision domain.
Hi team Does anyone know if this exam is still valid? Thank you in advance
B is correct, D isn't: ach port on a switch represents its own collision domain, and collisions are limited to the devices connected to that specific port
A and B
The answer should be AB. D is not correct because each port on switch is a collision domain.
