An organization is planning to segment their network traffic and allow for greater control over each segment, which includes implementing traffic rules and prioritizing certain types of network traffic. Which of the following types of switches would BEST meet these specific requirements?
Managed switches are the optimal choice in this scenario as they offer advanced features compared to unmanaged switches. These features include the ability to create VLANs for traffic segmentation, implement Quality of Service (QoS) policies for traffic prioritization, and the ability to configure port mirroring for monitoring purposes. Unmanaged switches, on the other hand, do not offer the capability for intricate configuration settings because they are designed for plug-and-play purposes and generally do not support features like VLANs or QoS.
