Which statement describes the microsegmentation that a switch provides?
Answer Options
All of the ports on the switch create a single collision domain.
Each port on the switch segments broadcasts.
Each port on the switch creates its own collision domain.
Each port on the switch creates an isolation for layer 2 broadcasts.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
Each port on a switch creates its own collision domain. An increase in collision domains raises bandwidth since each port creates its own segment (micro-segmentation) and isolates possible collisions on other ports. All the ports on a hub will create a single collision domain, in which a signal from one computer can and will collide with another. Each port on the switch will not segment broadcasts unless each port is assigned a different VLAN, which is not common practice. Although each port on a switch will create a collision domain, it does not stop layer 2 broadcasts from being forwarded to all ports.
