    Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about network switch?

    A) It connects devices together on a computer network.               

    B) It forwards a message only to one or multiple devices that need to receive it. 

    C) It does not broadcast the same message out of each of its ports.

    D) It is considered to be less intelligent than a hub.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In a hub, a message is passed along or "broadcast" to every one of its ports. Whereas, a switch can identify which system is sitting on which port. So when a message is received, it knows exactly which port to send it to, without significantly increasing network response times.
