Question

Your colleagues are discussing the operation of a device in which packets are routed between VLANs on the device rather than having to exit the device to be routed. What type of device are they most likely discussing?

Answer 1

router

Step-by-step explanation:

A "router" is a hardware/networking device that is used in order to forward a formatted unit of data that is carried by a network (packet-switched) between computer networks.

The formatted unit of data is called "data packets." This is the form of the data when a person sends another person an email and the like. Such process is known as "routing."

Clearly, the statement above refers to the "router" device.
