docking stations, and printers on a LAN. Network traffic is broadcasted out of all ports ,
which can create network congestion and introduces potential security risks - Answer -
hub
Essentially an intelligent hub that uses physical addresses to forward data packets to
devices on a network. Unlike a hub, this is designed to forward data packets only to the
port that corresponds to the destination device. - Answer -switch
Also, a switch can be used to implement virtual LANs (VLANs), which logically
segregate what? - Answer -logically segregate a network and limit broadcast domains
and collision domains.
