A network engineer needs to segment a company's network into multiple VLANs and allow communication between these VLANs without adding external routing devices. Which type of network device should the engineer deploy to meet these requirements?
Deploy a Layer 3 switch
Deploy a network bridge
Deploy an unmanaged switch
Deploy a Layer 2 switch
A Layer 3 switch can perform both switching and routing functions, enabling Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) segmentation and inter-VLAN communication without the need for external routers. Layer 2 switches can segment the network into VLANs but cannot route traffic between them. An unmanaged switch lacks VLAN capabilities altogether. A network bridge operates at Layer 2 and cannot provide inter-VLAN routing.
