easy🧠 Conceptual Q2 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify device functions
Switches forward traffic within the same network segment, hubs broadcast all traffic, and repeaters regenerate signals.Step 2: Understand firewall role
Firewalls control and filter traffic between different network segments, enforcing segmentation policies.Final Answer:
Firewall -> Option BQuick Check:
Firewall controls inter-segment traffic [OK]
Quick Trick: Firewalls control traffic between segments [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Confusing switches with firewalls
- Assuming hubs segment networks
- Thinking repeaters enforce segmentation
