Choose the benefits of deploying switches over hubs in your infrastructure. (Choose two)

The correct answer is A. Layer 2 switches allow for the creation of Virtual LANs providing options for further segmentation B. Switches lower the number of collisions in the environment. Switches differ from hubs in that they break up Collision Domains. Each port on a switch equals one Collision Domain. Therefore, a switch will lower the number of collisions within the infrastructure. Managed switches typically offer the ability to create Virtual LANs. Virtual…

Explanation

Switches differ from hubs in that they break up Collision Domains. Each port on a switch equals one Collision Domain. Therefore, a switch will lower the number of collisions within the infrastructure. Managed switches typically offer the ability to create Virtual LANs. Virtual LANs allow the switch to create multiple LANs/network segments that are Virtual. This allows the switch to create additional environments where needed.
