You currently have 15 switches with an average of 20 stations connected to each switch. The switches are connected to one another so that all 300 computers can communicate with one another in a single LAN. You have been detecting a high percentage of broadcast frames on this LAN. You think the number of broadcasts might be having an impact on network performance. What should you do?

Reorganize the network into smaller groups and connect each group to a router.

Explanation:

The user presently has 15 switches linked to another switch, with such an avg of 20 locations. The switches are linked to each other in such a manner that almost all systems can convey within a single Local area network. The high percentage to broadcast frames were found on that Local area network. They believe the amount of broadcasts could affect throughput.

So, they would reorganize each network into smaller units and link to such a router for each unit.
