Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 47

A small company has 5 servers and 50 clients. What are two reasons an engineer should split this network into separate client and server subnets? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Subnets will split domains to limit failures.
• B. A router will limit the traffic types between the clients and servers.
• C. Subnets provide more IP address space for clients and servers.
• D. A router will bridge the traffic between clients and servers.
• E. Internet access to the servers will be denied on the router.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Choosing options A and B is correct because splitting the network into subnets helps to isolate failure domains and enhances network reliability, while routers can control and limit the types of traffic that flow between clients and servers. Options C, D, and E are incorrect because splitting subnets does not inherently provide more IP address space, a router does not bridge traffic but routes it, and denying internet access is not a primary reason for subnetting.
