CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 484

A network technician is required to install a network device to provide service to an office area. The office area has 23 users and two printers that must be able to connect to the file server in a different building. Which of the following network devices should the technician use?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, a Switch, as it efficiently connects multiple devices within a local area network (LAN), allowing all users and printers to communicate with the file server. Options A (Media converter) and C (Bridge) are not suitable for connecting multiple devices in this scenario, and D (Wireless range extender) is not ideal as it extends coverage rather than managing multiple wired connections.
