Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 78

Which device is used to transport traffic from one broadcast domain to another broadcast domain?

Answer options

• A. layer 2 switch
• B. proxy server
• C. router
• D. load balancer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, a router, as it is specifically designed to route traffic between different broadcast domains. In contrast, a layer 2 switch operates within a single broadcast domain, a proxy server manages requests and responses between clients and servers, and a load balancer distributes traffic across multiple servers but does not connect different broadcast domains.
