A network administrator has configured multiple broadcast domains on a switch to segment network traffic. However, devices in different segments cannot communicate with each other. What should be configured to allow communication between these devices and preserving the segmentation on the switch?
Enable trunking on the switch ports connected to devices
Assign all devices to the same broadcast domain on the switch
Enable Spanning Tree Protocol on all switches
Configure routing between the segments on a Layer 3 device
Segmenting a network into multiple broadcast domains isolates traffic, but to enable communication between these separate segments, routing is required. By configuring routing on a Layer 3 device, such as a router or a Layer 3 switch, traffic can be routed between the different segments. Enabling trunking allows multiple virtual networks to pass over a single link but doesn't facilitate communication between different segments. Assigning all devices to the same segment removes the network segmentation. Enabling Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) helps prevent loops in a network but doesn't enable communication between different broadcast domains.
