Broadcast traffic can lead to network congestion, as it sends data packets to all devices on a network segment, potentially overwhelming bandwidth and causing slowdowns. This type of traffic can also increase the likelihood of collisions and packet loss, impacting overall network performance and reliability. Additionally, excessive broadcast traffic can create security vulnerabilities, as sensitive information may be exposed to unintended recipients. Managing and limiting broadcast traffic is essential for maintaining an efficient and secure network environment.

Should A firewall policy should only be concerned with in-bound (ingress) traffic. True False?
No - firewalls should include rules for both inbound AND outbound traffic to adequately protect networks.

What can be done to reduce the broadcast traffic?
To reduce broadcast traffic, network segmentation can be implemented through the use of VLANs, which limits broadcast domains and confines broadcast messages to specific groups. Additionally, configuring routers and switches to filter or limit broadcast packets can help manage their flow. Implementing protocols like IGMP snooping can also optimize multicast traffic and minimize unnecessary broadcasts. Lastly, regularly reviewing and optimizing network configurations can help identify and eliminate sources of excessive broadcast traffic.
What device cannot forward the broadcast traffic?
switch
Which device or devices should have the Spanning Tree Protocol enabled to prevent host traffic from creating a broadcast storm?
Core_S1, Access_S2, and Access_S3
What is broadcast storm?
A broadcast storm is what occurs when the number of broadcasts on a broadcast domain reaches a certain level that causes the network to shut down for useful traffic entirely.
How switched networks can be affected by broadcast storms?
A broadcast storm can cause a network to become too congested to transfer any useful traffic; switches are susceptible to broadcast storms.
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.
Which impact does adding a layer 2 switch have on a network?
elimination of broadcast traffic
