Network segmentation provides which of the following benefits?
A. Security through isolation B. Link aggregation C. Packet flooding through all ports D. High availability through redundancy
Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Network segmentation in computer networking is the act or profession of splitting a computer network into subnetworks, each being a network segment. Advantages of such splitting are primarily for boosting performance and improving security through isolation. Advantages of network segmentation: Improved security: Broadcasts will be contained to local network. Internal network structure will not be visible from outside Reduced congestion: Improved performance is achieved because on a segmented network there are fewer hosts per subnetwork, thus minimizing local traffic Containing network problems: Limiting the effect of local failures on other parts of network
