Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Routers divide a LAN into smaller groups called subnets in order to improve performance and security by reducing broadcast traffic and allowing for more efficient routing. Segments are a more general term for a section of a network and may include multiple subnets. Ethernet LANs are a type of LAN but do not necessarily refer to the segmentation of a LAN. Clusters typically refer to a group of servers or computers working together, but not necessarily a division of a LAN. VLANs are logical groupings of devices within a LAN and can be configured by a switch rather than a router.
