A network administrator is connecting two Layer 2 switches in a network These switches must transfer data in multiple networks. Which of the following would fulfill this requirement?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The technique that would fulfill the requirement of transferring data in multiple networks is 802.1Q tagging.
802.1Q tagging is a method of adding a tag or identifier to Ethernet frames that indicate which VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) they belong to. VLANs are logical subdivisions of a network that allow devices in different physical locations or segments to communicate as if they were in the same network. VLANs improve network performance, security, and management by reducing broadcast traffic, isolating sensitive data, and grouping devices by function or department. By using 802.1Q tagging, two Layer 2 switches can exchange data from multiple VLANs over a single trunk link, without mixing or losing the VLAN information.
