Actual exam question for GIAC's GSNA exam

Question #: 29
Topic #: 6

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

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.

ALayer 2 switches allow for the creation of Virtual LANs providing options for further
segmentation and security.

BSwitches lower the number of collisions in the environment.

CSwitches create an environment best suited for half duplex communications. This improves
network performance and the amount of available bandwidth.

DLayer 2 switches increase the number of broadcast domains in the environment.

Show Suggested 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.
