GIAC GSNA Exam - Topic 6 Question 29 Discussion

Choose the benefits of deploying switches over hubs in your infrastructure.Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.
A) Layer 2 switches allow for the creation of Virtual LANs providing options for further segmentation and security. and B) Switches lower the number of collisions in the environment.
C) Switches create an environment best suited for half duplex communications. This improves network performance and the amount of available bandwidth.
D) Layer 2 switches increase the number of broadcast domains in the environment.

[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.

Lowering collisions is key for better performance, no doubt!

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

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

I agree, VLANs are super useful for security and segmentation.

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?
