I thought routers had more ports than switches, that's surprising!

Higher port density for switches, for sure!
HU

Wait, aren't routers L3 devices, not L4?
KR

Totally agree with that!

Switches build a MAC table, routers build a routing table.

I remember that switches are L2 devices, but I thought routers were L3, not L4. That might be a trick option in this question!

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the L2 and L4 distinction is important. But I’m confused about which layer routers actually operate at.

I'm not too sure about the port density part. I remember something about switches having more ports, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think switches build a MAC table, right? And routers have that routing table. Seems like a basic difference.

This question seems tricky. I'll need to review my notes on layer 2 and layer 3 devices to make sure I get this right.

I remember learning about the differences between switches and routers in my networking class. I think I can figure this out.

Okay, let's see. I know switches build a MAC table, while routers build a routing table. That's one key difference. I'll need to think of another one.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the differences between switches and routers. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This is a pretty straightforward question. I'm pretty confident I can identify the key differences between L2 switches and routers.

Okay, I've got this. Boiler feed water corrosion is typically prevented by adding oxygen scavengers to the process. That helps remove dissolved oxygen and protect the boiler components from oxidation. I'm confident that's the right answer.

I remember a practice question mentioned monitoring low-priority risks periodically. Seems sensible.

Ha! I bet the exam writers are just trying to trick us. Switches and routers are like apples and oranges - how can you even compare them? 'Select two' indeed!

I'm torn between B) and D), but I think both of those options capture important differences between switches and routers. Gotta love these networking questions!
EL
Elly

Definitely, those are key differences between L2 switches and routers. Networking questions can be tricky!

I agree, and D) is also important because switches offer a higher port density than routers.
NU

I think B) is correct because switches build a MAC table, while routers build a routing table.

D) Switches offer a considerably higher port density than routers. That's a crucial distinction when it comes to network design and scalability.

B) Switches build a MAC table while routers build a routing table. That's the key difference I remember from my studies.

Understanding the differences between them is crucial for network design and troubleshooting.

So, switches are more efficient for local network traffic, while routers are essential for connecting different networks.

Routers, on the other hand, use IP addresses to route data between different networks.
DO
Dona

Yes, that's correct. Switches use MAC addresses to forward data within the same network.
DE

I believe switches offer a considerably higher port density than routers, which is another key difference.
