A network administrator has a multi-floor LAN to monitor and maintain. Through careful monitoring, the administrator has noticed a large amount of broadcast traffic slowing the network. Which device would you use to best solve this problem?
- switch
- router
- host
- server
Explanation: All hosts within a single LAN belong to one broadcast domain. As the number of hosts increase, it could cause more traffic on the segment and may slow network performance. To solve the performance issue, a router would be the device used to segment the single LAN into multiple LANs.
