CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 449

A network technician is able to connect the switches between two offices, but the offices cannot communicate with each other, as each office uses a different IP addressing scheme. Which of the following devices needs to be installed between the switches to allow communication?

Answer options

• A. Bridge
• B. Access point
• C. Router
• D. Range extender

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Router, as it is responsible for routing traffic between different IP address schemes. A Bridge (A) connects devices on the same network segment but does not handle different IP schemes, Access point (B) serves wireless connectivity without addressing differences, and Range extender (D) amplifies wireless signals but does not facilitate communication between different networks.
