At which OSI layer does a traditional Ethernet switch primarily make forwarding decisions?
✓ Correct Answer: A
A standard Ethernet switch forwards frames based on destination MAC addresses, which live at Layer 2. Layer 3 IP forwarding is the job of a router, not a basic switch. Layer 1 devices like hubs only repeat signals and make no forwarding decision. Layer 4 port numbers are used by transport protocols, not by switch frame forwarding.
What is the primary purpose of a VLAN on a switched network?
✓ Correct Answer: B
A VLAN logically divides a physical switch into multiple broadcast domains, isolating traffic between groups. VLANs do not provide encryption; that is a function of protocols like MACsec. They do not compress frames, and address assignment is handled by DHCP, not VLAN tagging.
