A small office has two separate LANs: one for the sales team and one for the engineering team. The company wants to allow the sales team to access a file server located on the engineering LAN, but the engineering team should not be able to initiate connections to the sales LAN. Which device should be placed between the two LANs to achieve this?

A firewall configured to allow all traffic

A switch with VLAN configuration

A load balancer placed in front of the file server

A router with an access control list (ACL)

A network has a router with two paths to the same destination network: a static route with an administrative distance of 1 and a dynamic route with an administrative distance of 120. Both routes have the same metric. Which route will the router use?

Both routes will be used for load balancing

The route with the lowest metric

What is the primary function of a network switch within a LAN?

Filter traffic based on security policies to protect network boundaries

Forward packets between different IP networks based on routing tables

Forward frames between devices on the same LAN based on destination MAC addresses

Distribute incoming traffic across multiple servers to optimize resource use

A network has a switch with two servers connected to it. Server A sends a frame to Server B. The switch's MAC address table does not have an entry for Server B. What does the switch do with the frame?

Broadcast the frame to all ports including the ingress port

Send the frame to the default gateway

Flood the frame out all ports except the one it arrived on

Drop the frame because the destination is unknown

A network administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue. A PC on VLAN 10 can ping its default gateway, but it cannot ping a server on VLAN 20. The switch has an SVI for VLAN 10 and VLAN 20, and IP routing is enabled. The server's IP address is 192.168.20.10/24, and the SVI for VLAN 20 is 192.168.20.1/24. What is the most likely cause?

The PC's default gateway is not set to the SVI for VLAN 10

The server is on a different VLAN than configured

The server's default gateway is not set to 192.168.20.1

The switch does not have a route to 192.168.20.0/24
