CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 423

Which of the following redundant devices creates broadcast storms when connected together on a high-availability network?

Answer options

• A. Switches
• B. Routers
• C. Access points
• D. Servers

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Switches can create broadcast storms when they are interconnected without proper management, such as spanning tree protocol, leading to loops in the network. Routers, access points, and servers do not typically cause broadcast storms in the same way as switches do, as they handle traffic differently and are designed to prevent such issues.
