A connectivity device on data networks that logically subdivides a network into smaller, individual collision domains, is referred to as:
A) Hub
B) Bridge
C) Switch
D) Modular router

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A switch is a device in a network that connects various devices together on a computer network, by using packet switching to receive, process, and forward data to the destination device. Unlike a hub, which broadcasts the same data out of each of its ports and operates in a single collision domain, a switch creates a separate collision domain for each of its ports, thereby reducing the chances of collisions and improving network efficiency.
