CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 457

A network administrator is extending a network beyond the primary equipment location. Which of the following is where the administrator should install additional network switches?

Answer options

• A. MDF
• B. VPC
• C. VXLAN
• D. IDF

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, IDF, as it refers to the Intermediate Distribution Frame, which is used to distribute network connections to different areas of a building. The other options are incorrect because MDF (Main Distribution Frame) is for primary connections, VPC (Virtual Port Channel) relates to network virtualization, and VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) pertains to overlay networks, none of which are suitable for installing additional switches in this context.
