ARP inspection firewalls

11.

David is setting up a large office network and wants to ensure that different departments, like HR and Finance, do not receive each other's broadcast traffic even though they are connected to the same switch. What is the primary benefit of using VLANs in this situation?

a)

Provides automatic IP addressing

b)

Creates separate broadcast domains within a single switch
