CV0-002 · Question #61
Which of the following network topologies should an administrator use to segment traffic?
The correct answer is C. Virtual Local Area Networks. Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are used to logically segment a single physical network into multiple broadcast domains, isolating traffic for improved security and management.

Why each option
Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are used to logically segment a single physical network into multiple broadcast domains, isolating traffic for improved security and management.
A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a network that spans a large geographic area like a city, describing a geographical scope rather than a method for traffic segmentation.
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network covering a small geographical area, such as a home or office, and describes a geographical scope, not a method for traffic segmentation.
Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are a network topology feature that allows logical segmentation of a physical LAN into multiple broadcast domains. This enables traffic isolation and improved security without requiring separate physical hardware for each segment.
A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a telecommunications network extending over a large geographical area, describing a geographical scope rather than a method for traffic segmentation.
