You work as a Network Administrator for McNeil Inc. The company has a TCP/IP-based network.
Performance of the network is slow because of heavy traffic. A hub is used as a central connecting
device in the network. Which of the following devices can be used in place of a hub to control the
network traffic efficiently?
A.
Repeater
B.
Bridge
C.
Switch
D.
Router
Explanation:
A Switch can be used in place of a hub to control the network traffic efficiently. Hub
and switch are network connectivity devices that bring media segments together in a central
location. Hubs should be used in small networks, where network traffic is less. Whereas, switches
should be used in larger networks, where network traffic is relatively high.
