Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 423

What is a characteristic of a VLAN?

Answer options

• A. associated with IP address subnetworks
• B. consist of physically segmented LANs
• C. users access data from different VLANs
• D. associated with MAC address subnetworks

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as VLANs are indeed associated with IP address subnetworks, allowing for logical segmentation of networks. Option B is incorrect because VLANs do not require physical separation; they can exist on the same physical hardware. Option C is misleading, as users access data within their own VLANs rather than from different ones. Option D is also incorrect since VLANs are based on IP addressing rather than MAC addresses.
