Which impact does adding a Layer 2 switch have on a network?
- an increase in the number of dropped frames
- an increase in the size of the broadcast domain
- an increase in the number of network collisions
- an increase in the size of the collision domain
Answers Explanation & Hints: Adding a Layer 2 switch to a network increases the number of collision domains and increases the size of the broadcast domain. Layer 2 switches do not decrease the amount of broadcast traffic, do not increase the amount of network collisions and do not increase the number of dropped frames.
