Explanation:
The network layer defined how to transport traffic between devices that are not locally attached in the same broadcast domain. For the communication the device will require two pieces of information: a logical address associated with the source and destination stations and a path through the network to reach the desired destination. Both of the required information is stored in the devices routing table. The addresses within the routing table are considered to be a logical network address that contains two parts: one part that identifies the network and another part that uniquely identifies the host on each of those networks. If the address of the destination device is unknown to the device it will broadcast the packet to the remaining interfaces.
Incorrect Answers:
D is incorrect; the network layer does not establish addresses rather it uses the addresses to route information. E is incorrect; the physical layer provides access to media.
F is incorrect; the data link layer provides media independence for upper layers.

Q. 75
What is the result of segmenting a network with a router into segments 1 and 2?
A.It increases the number of collisions.
B.It decreases the number of broadcast domains.
C.It connects segment one’s broadcast to segment two.
D.It prevents segment one’s broadcast from getting to segment two.
Answer: D
Explanation: The broadcast domains are broken up and separated.
Incorrect Answers:
A is incorrect; the number of collisions is decreased.
B is incorrect; the number of broadcast domains is increased.
C is incorrect; the broadcast domains are broken up and separated.
