Actual exam question for GIAC's GSNA exam
Question #: 29
Topic #: 6
[All GSNA Questions]

Choose the benefits of deploying switches over hubs in your infrastructure.

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B

Switches differ from hubs in that they break up Collision Domains. Each port on a switch equals one Collision Domain. Therefore, a switch will

lower the number of collisions within the infrastructure.

Managed switches typically offer the ability to create Virtual LANs. Virtual LANs allow the switch to create multiple LANs/network segments

that are Virtual. This allows the switch to create additional environments where needed.

Half duplex? Nah, I thought switches were all about full duplex.

Wait, do switches really create more broadcast domains? That sounds off.

I recall that switches actually create more collision domains, not broadcast domains. So, I think option D is definitely wrong.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think switches do improve performance, but I'm confused about the half duplex part in option C.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like VLANs are a big deal with switches. So, option A might be correct too.

I remember that switches reduce collisions, which definitely helps with network efficiency. I think option B is one of the answers.

This seems like a straightforward question about the incident response process. I'll need to carefully review the stages to determine when a full system backup would be most appropriate.

I remember the default gateway is related to how devices communicate outside their local network, but I'm not sure which option directly describes it.

I remember we discussed how rubber stamp signatures need strict controls because of the risk of misuse. Maybe A is the right choice?
