An enterprise network infrastructure relies on dedicated hardware devices to perform specialized functions across the network topology. Match each network component on the left to its primary operational role on the right.
- RouterEvaluates packet headers against a routing table to forward traffic between different Layer 3 network segments and isolate broadcast domains.
- Layer 2 SwitchMakes frame forwarding decisions based on destination MAC addresses while maintaining separate collision domains per interface.
- Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)Provides stateful packet inspection, deep packet analysis, and application-level threat prevention at network boundaries.
- Wireless LAN Controller (WLC)Centralizes management, security profile enforcement, and dynamic RF control across lightweight access points.
Cevap
Router matches with evaluating packet headers against a routing table to forward traffic between Layer 3 networks and isolate broadcast domains; Layer 2 Switch matches with making frame forwarding decisions based on destination MAC addresses while isolating collision domains; Next-Generation Firewall matches with providing stateful packet inspection and application-level threat prevention; Wireless LAN Controller matches with centralizing management and RF control across lightweight access points.
Each network component is paired according to its core architectural role in an enterprise network: Routers perform Layer 3 forwarding and broadcast isolation; Layer 2 Switches perform MAC-based switching within a local broadcast domain; NGFWs enforce boundary security and application awareness; WLCs manage lightweight access points and radio frequencies centrally.
