A small company has 5 servers and 50 clients. What are two reasons an engineer should spilt this network into separate client and server subnets? (Choose two)

Question

Options

• AInternet access to the servers will be denied on the router.
• BA router will limit the traffic types between the clients and servers.
• CSubnets will split domains to limit failures.
• DA router will bridge the traffic between clients and servers.
• ESubnets provide more IP address space for clients and servers.

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  92% (24)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Splitting a network into separate subnets requires routing between them, which enables two key benefits: Choice B is correct because a router (or Layer 3 switch) between subnets can enforce ACLs (Access Control Lists) to restrict which traffic types clients can send to servers, improving security. Choice C is correct because subnets create separate broadcast domains - a broadcast storm or failure on the client subnet does not propagate to the server subnet, limiting the blast radius of failures. Choice A is incorrect; a router does not automatically deny internet access to servers - that requires explicit ACL configuration. Choice D is wrong; routers route traffic, they do not bridge it - bridging defeats the purpose of subnetting. Choice E is incorrect; subnetting divides IP address space, it does not create more addresses.
