What filters network traffic using hardware addresses and what directs packets between network segments using network addresses?
bridge filters router directs
Which Device can be used to connect two similar network segments but keeps network traffic separate on the two segments?
Bridge
What can generate traffic in an attempt to reproduce a network problem and monitor multiple network segments simultaneously?
Protocol Analyzer
The device used to divide a network into segments and allow for improved traffic flow is?
Switch
What are characteristics of a network bridges?
-They let two network segments appear as one network to connected workstations. -Their primary function is to keep traffic for one segment away from the other segment.
A network technician must reduce the amount of broadcast traffic on the network while maintaining full connectivity between all different network segments Which device should the administrator deploy?
This device is called a ROUTER. Routers are by default configured to not pass the broadcast traffic to another networks to which it connects. But by some means it could be also a SWITCH - sometimes it can be configured to filter different type of network traffic.
What is part of a series of filters that examine the contents of packets and traffic patterns to and from the network to determine which packets they should allow to pass through?
This is known as "stateful" filtering - When firewalls are aware of the traffic state as well as the content of the packets.
What is a network traffic analyzer used for?
A network traffic analyzer is used for analyzing and monitoring the use of network traffic for many devices. Network Traffic Analyzer is also used to monitor the wireless network performance.
Can you use a hub if you need to isolate traffic to a network segment or to link unlike media segments of the same architecture?
No, because a hub is a multi-port repeater, which has no isolation feature.
How VLAN reduces the network traffic?
yes, it reducing the network traffic
How do you trace the network traffic?
Tracing network traffic requires a network monitor, protocol analyzer, or packet sniffer.
How are subnets used to improve network security?
Yes, if you separate the network into different sub-networks, you can then set up rules (for example, through ACLs) that allow certain traffic between subnets, and block other types of traffic.
