| 1. | □ | Some switches incorporate features of a router and operate at the Network layer as well. |
| 2. | □ | A standard switch relies on the MAC address to determine the source and destination of a packet. |
| 3. | □ | Layer 3 switches make decisions on how to transmit traffic at Layer 3, just like a router, but they are not as fast as Layer 2 switches. |
| 4. | □ | Within the LAN environment, a Layer 3 switch is usually slower than a router because it is built on switching hardware. |
| 5. | □ | As networks grow in size and complexity many companies turn to virtual private networks (VPNs) to provide some way of structuring this growth logically. |
| 6. | □ | A broadcast domain is a network (or part of a network) that receives a broadcast packet from any node located within that network. |
| 7. | □ | A switch can easily route from one VLAN to another and you don`t need a router to do so. |
| 8. | □ | Separating systems decreases the chances that people will gain access to information they are not authorized to see. |
| 9. | □ | For multiple VLANs on multiple switches to be able to communicate via a single link between the switches, you must use a process called forwarding. |
| 10. | □ | The VLAN trunking protocol is the protocol that switches use to communicate among themselves about VLAN configuration. |
