A. Switches flood broadcast traffic and
Big thanks to https://www.pinterest.com/pin/1061371837181919419! Their JN0-105 material was the key to my exam success.
B. Switches are susceptible to traffic loops because, in a Layer 2 network, switches forward broadcast traffic to all ports (except the port it was received on) since they do not initially know the destination MAC address. Additionally, without loop-prevention protocols like Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), switches can form network loops if multiple paths exist, leading to continuous circulation of frames, which causes network congestion and potential broadcast storms. Thus, switches are both capable of flooding broadcast traffic and susceptible to traffic loops without proper safeguards.
A) One inherent characteristic of switches is their susceptibility to traffic loops, especially in networks with redundant paths. Without proper loop prevention protocols like STP, loops can cause broadcast storms and network instability.
B) Additionally, switches inherently flood broadcast traffic to all ports within the broadcast domain, except the port on which the broadcast was received. This is because broadcast frams are meant to be delivered to all devices within the VLAN, and the switch ensures this by flooding these frames to all ports in the VLAN, except the source port.
B is correct, D isn't: ach port on a switch represents its own collision domain, and collisions are limited to the devices connected to that specific port
The answer should be AB.
D is incorrect, switches create a collision domain for each port
