What is the primary purpose of subnetting an IP network?

To divide a large network into smaller, manageable segments for improved performance and security.

To encrypt data transmitted between subnets.

To assign a unique MAC address to each device on the network.

To translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses.

What is a key characteristic of static routing?

Routes are recalculated based on network traffic load.

Routes are automatically learned from neighboring routers.

Routes are stored in a centralized database and pushed to all routers.

Routes are manually configured by an administrator and do not change automatically.

Which scenario best illustrates the use of NAT?

A home router translates the private IP address of a laptop to the router's public IP address when the laptop accesses a website.

A DNS server resolves a domain name to an IP address.

A switch forwards a frame to the correct port based on the destination MAC address.

A firewall blocks traffic based on port numbers.
