Which of the following statements are true about bridges? (Select two.)

Bridges connect two network segments with the same network address. Bridges convert one type of transmission medium into another.

At which layer of the OSI model do network switches operate that do not support routing?

Data Link

Which of the following describes the function of a dedicated wireless access point on a network?

On a network, a wireless access point only acts as a bridge between the wireless segment and the wired segment on the same subnet.

You are asked to design a LAN segmentation solution for Company AGH. They have three workgroups separated with VLANs: Accounting, Sales, and Service. Most network traffic is localized within the individual workgroups, but some traffic crosses between each group. Company AGH is especially concerned about the security of information within the Accounting department. Which segmentation device meets the functionality requirements and provides the simplest, most economical administration?

Router

You have been put in charge of connecting two company networks that were previously separated. You need to connect a 100BaseTx Ethernet network with an older token ring network. Most traffic will be localized within each network, with only a little traffic crossing between networks. Both networks are using the TCP/IP protocol suite. Which connectivity device would be the best choice in this situation?

Router

Which of the following are general advantages of using routers on your network? (Select three.)

Routers provide multiple links between devices to support load balancing. Routers provide more features, such as flow control, error detection, and congestion control, than switches or bridges. Routers support multiple routing protocols for better flexibility.

You want to prevent collisions on your network by creating separate collision domains and defining virtual LANs. Which of the following devices should you choose?

Switch

Which of the following accurately describe how switches and hubs work? (Select two.)

Switches use the hardware address in the frame to send frames only to the port where the device is attached. A hub repeats frames to all ports, regardless of the destination address.

Which is the primary role of a firewall?

To protect networks and workstations by allowing or denying network traffic. The firewall does this using a configured set of rules.

Match the firewall types on the left with the characteristics shown on the right. (Firewall types may be used more than once.)

Usually a software firewall Host-based firewall Most robust and secure firewall Network-based firewall Considered a hardware firewall Network-based firewall Installed on a single computer Host-based firewall Installed on the edge of a network Network-based firewall Less robust and less customizable Host-based firewall
