Question 1

A technician wants to monitor network statistics for devices communicating with one another on the
local subnet Which of the following devices should the technician install.


  1. Option A:
    Managed switch


  2. Option B:
    Router


  3. Option C:
    Access point


  4. Option D:
    Firewall
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

A managed switch provides advanced features such as traffic monitoring and VLAN configuration,
allowing a technician to view network statistics for devices on the local subnet.
Why Not B (Router): A router connects different networks and directs traffic between them but does
not provide detailed subnet-level statistics. Why Not C (Access point): Access points provide wireless connectivity but lack traffic monitoring
features.
Why Not D (Firewall): A firewall filters traffic but is not used for monitoring detailed statistics on a
local subnet.
