Answer 2

Answer:

The given statement is False. Router is used to connect different subnets while switch is used to connect to same subnets.

Explanation:

• Switches operate using MAC-addresses, while routers  use IP addresses. Switches have many ports in the same subnet, but routers have one port per subnet.

• When we segment a network, we divide the network into multiple smaller networks called a subnet.
• We can control the flow of traffic between subnets by allowing or disallowing traffic based or by blocking the entire flow of traffic if necessary.
• Segmented networks can boost network performance by containing certain traffic only to the portions of the network that is needing to see it, and can help to localize technical network issues.

• In a network, a switch is a hardware device that filters and forwards network packets from one networking device to another. It is widely used in local area networks (LANs) to send each incoming message frame by looking at the Media Access Control address (MAC address).
