C.

VLAN

Answers
C.

VLAN

D.

MAN

Answers
D.

MAN

Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is used to logically segment a network, even though devices are physically connected to the same infrastructure. This allows administrators to separate traffic, improve security, and enhance network management without requiring additional hardware. VLANs are configured through network switches and allow for different devices to communicate as if they were on separate physical networks, even though they share the same physical wiring.

C . VLAN: VLANs provide logical segmentation of networks, allowing groups of devices to be separated despite being connected to the same physical network infrastructure.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A . WLAN: Wireless LAN refers to a wireless network and is not specifically used for logical segmentation.

B . VPN: Virtual Private Network creates secure connections over a public network, such as the internet, but it does not provide logical segmentation of a local network.

D . MAN: Metropolitan Area Network is a type of network that spans a city or large campus but does not deal with logical segmentation on a local scale.

This concept is part of the Networking domain, specifically focusing on VLANs, in the CompTIA A+ Core 1 exam.
