Question

Scenario: The company needs to ensure that the provisioning traffic does NOT interfere with the existing PXE solution. The Provisioning Services servers will be connected to a 10 Gbps network. How does using a dedicated switch help the company secure streaming traffic?

Options

  • ADedicated switches enable streaming traffic to be encrypted with IPsec.
  • BDedicated switches allow the necessary TCP offload settings to be configured on the streaming NIC.
  • CDedicated switches provide multiple IP addresses that can be dedicated to streaming traffic.

Why each option

A dedicated switch provides an isolated and optimized network path for streaming traffic, ensuring that performance-enhancing features like TCP offload on the streaming network interface card (NIC) can operate effectively. This physical separation prevents interference and guarantees reliable streaming performance.

ADedicated switches enable streaming traffic to be encrypted with IPsec.

Dedicated switches operate primarily at Layer 2 and do not inherently provide or enable encryption protocols like IPsec, which function at Layer 3.

BDedicated switches allow the necessary TCP offload settings to be configured on the streaming NIC.Correct

A dedicated switch isolates streaming traffic to its own network segment, creating an environment where network interface card (NIC) optimizations like TCP offload can function most efficiently, free from congestion and interference from other traffic, thereby securing reliable high performance for streaming.

CDedicated switches provide multiple IP addresses that can be dedicated to streaming traffic.

While switches can be part of an IP addressing scheme, their primary role is frame forwarding, and they do not directly provide or manage IP addresses for endpoints in a way that secures streaming traffic.
