CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 473

A network administrator is establishing Layer 3 connectivity between Layer 2 segments. Which of the following does the administrator need to complete this task?

Answer options

• A. VIP
• B. NAT
• C. SVI
• D. 802.1Q tagging

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, SVI (Switched Virtual Interface), which provides Layer 3 IP addressing for VLANs, enabling communication between different Layer 2 segments. A is incorrect as VIP (Virtual IP) does not facilitate Layer 3 routing, B (NAT) is used for IP address translation, and D (802.1Q tagging) is related to VLAN tagging but does not establish Layer 3 connectivity.
