Question #: 167
Topic #: 4
Which of the following network devices is needed to direct packets to networks outside of the LAN?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

A router is a network device that connects multiple networks together and directs data packets to their intended destinations. This includes directing packets to networks outside of the local area network (LAN). Routers use routing tables to determine the best path for data packets to travel.
Hubs and switches operate within a single LAN and are not capable of routing packets to external networks.
Bridges can connect two LANs together, but they do not have the intelligence to route packets to external networks.
Therefore, only routers are capable of directing packets to networks outside of the LAN.
