CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 430

A network technician needs to install network devices in a new building. The building will be a part of the corporate network and has the connection to the core network already. Which of the following devices must be configured in the new building?

Answer options

• A. Firewall
• B. Switch
• C. Modem
• D. IDS

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a switch is necessary to connect multiple devices within the new building to the network. A firewall (A) is used for security, a modem (C) is for connecting to the internet, and an IDS (D) is for monitoring network traffic, but none of these are essential for connecting devices in this specific scenario.
