Question
Which of the following correctly describe the various functions and virtues of a
router? (Select all valid answer choices)


A. Packet switching


B. Collision prevention on a LAN segment.


C. Packet filtering


D. Broadcast domain enlargement


E. Broadcast forwarding


F. Internetwork communication

Answers

A, C, F
Explanation:
The main function of a router is to connect different, separated networks together. In doing so, switching packets from one network to another is a primary function, along with providing for communication between networks. As an additional feature, routers are capable of providing filtering on a network address and application port level, so choice C is also correct.
Incorrect Answers:


B. Routers can indeed be used to segment a network separate a collision domain, since routers do not forward LAN broadcasts and multicasts to other interfaces. However, routers alone can not prevent all collisions from occurring on any given LAN segment.

D. Routers actually segment LANs into smaller broadcast domains.


E. Routers do not forward broadcast and multicast traffic out the additional interfaces by default. Unless bridging, or IP helpers are configured on the router, LAN broadcasts are blocked at the router level.   Your Comment
