Match each network hardware device on the left with its correct operational description or deployment scenario on the right.
- Managed Layer 3 SwitchExecutes high-speed inter-VLAN routing and packet forwarding decisions using hardware MAC tables and logical IP address headers without requiring an external router.
- Hardware FirewallEnforces perimeter network security policies through stateful packet inspection, blocking unauthorized traffic flows between internal trusted networks and untrusted external zones.
- Patch PanelServes as a passive termination point for permanent horizontal cable runs from wall plates, providing structured modular jacks for short patch cable connections to network equipment.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE) InjectorAdds inline DC power onto a single Ethernet cable run to supply a remote access point or IP camera when the connected switch port lacks native Power over Ethernet capability.
Cevap
The correct pairings match each device to its core function: the Managed Layer 3 Switch handles inter-VLAN routing; the Hardware Firewall performs perimeter stateful packet inspection; the Patch Panel acts as a passive termination point for structured cabling; and the Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector provides inline power for single non-PoE switch ports.
Each hardware device is uniquely mapped to its primary technical purpose: Layer 3 switches execute inter-VLAN IP routing; firewalls enforce security policies via stateful packet inspection; patch panels terminate horizontal structured cabling in equipment racks; and PoE injectors supply midspan power to powered end devices connected to legacy non-PoE network switches.
