This statement is false. Subnetting divides a network into smaller logical subnetworks or subnets at the network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model. It is a form of logical segmentation because it uses software configurations to separate network traffic without altering the physical infrastructure. Physical network segmentation, on the other hand, involves physically separating network components using different hardware or cables.
