A network technician is tasked with setting up a collision free domain for a new office. They plan to utilize Ethernet technology. Which device should the technician use to ensure that each connected device can use the full bandwidth provided by the network?
Router
Switch
Access Point
Hub
A switch is the correct answer because it creates a separate collision domain for each port, allowing each device connected to the switch to operate without collisions and use the full bandwidth available. A hub, by contrast, shares bandwidth among all devices in a single collision domain, which can lead to collisions and reduced performance. A router, while it can segment network traffic, operates at Layer 3 and deals primarily with logical addressing and routing rather than creating collision-free environments at the data link layer. An access point provides a wireless interface for devices but does not segregate collision domains in the context of wired Ethernet.
