B. connects server and client device to a network. An endpoint is a device or software application that acts as a point of origin or destination for data transmitted over a network. Endpoints can include computers, smartphones, servers, printers, and other networked devices. The function of an endpoint on a network is to connect a client device or a server to a network so that it can send or receive data. Endpoints can also provide additional functionality such as security, data backup, or remote access. Option A is incorrect as providing wireless services is typically the function of a wireless access point (WAP) rather than an endpoint. Option C is incorrect as recording data and transmitting it to a file server is a task that can be performed by a client device, but not necessarily by an endpoint. Option D is incorrect as forwarding traffic between VLANs is typically the function of a layer 3 switch or a router, rather than an endpoint.

B is wrong. intermediate devices connects server and client to a network .example of a intermediate device is switch . example of endpoint is server,laptop

but on an end point, which can be "computers, smartphones, servers, printers, and other networked devices." you can record data and transmit to a file server... this makes C the correct answer

@Hamish88 An endpoint is a device or software application that acts as a point of origin or destination for data transmitted over a network. Endpoints can include computers, smartphones, servers, printers, and other networked devices. This is a terrible question.

Selected Answer: C
A. Provides wireless services to users in a building: This describes an access point (AP), not an endpoint. B. Connects server and client device to a network: This describes the function of network switches or routers, not endpoints. D. Forwards traffic between VLANs on a network: This is the role of a router or a Layer 3 switch, not an endpoint.

Selected Answer: C
An endpoint in a network refers to a device that serves as a communication endpoint for data, such as a workstation, laptop, smartphone, or IoT device. These devices allow users to interact with the network by performing tasks such as recording data, accessing services, or transmitting data to servers. Why not the other options? A. provides wireless services to users in a building: This describes the role of a wireless access point (WAP), which is not considered an endpoint. Endpoints consume network services, not provide them. B. connects server and client device to a network: This describes the function of a network switch or router, which facilitates connections but is not an endpoint itself. D. forwards traffic between VLANs on a network: This is the role of a Layer 3 switch or router, not an endpoint.

Very sad that they try to confuse rather than checking the knowledge. I would go for B because C seems too specific and irrelevant in the framework of endpoints.

Selected Answer: B
I think the answer is B. This is because endpoints are devices like computers, phones, and servers that connect to the network. The key distinction here is that the endpoint itself connects to the network—it doesn’t perform the role of networking infrastructure (like switches or routers do). So while C describes an action that endpoints can perform, B better describes the role of an endpoint in general.

B Yes, endpoints can indeed allow users to record data and transmit it to a file server. This functionality falls under the broader category of connecting client devices to a network, which was represented by option B in the previous response. Endpoints encompass a wide range of devices, including user devices like computers, smartphones, and tablets. These devices can be used by users to perform various tasks, such as recording data, accessing applications, and communicating with other devices or servers on the network. When users record data on their devices, such as creating documents, taking photos, or capturing videos, they can then transmit this data over the network to a file server for storage, sharing, or backup purposes. The endpoint acts as the interface through which users interact with the network and its resources, including file servers.
