Networking Fundamentals — Question 35

What is a similarity between Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches?

Answer options

• A. Both provide a high level of security to the network.
• B. Both use logical addressing to forward transmissions.
• C. Both forward packets onto the network.
• D. Both allow the implementation of VLANs.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches can facilitate Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs). Options A, B, and C are incorrect since Layer 2 switches primarily operate with MAC addresses and do not inherently provide the same security or logical addressing capabilities as Layer 3 switches.
