Free Cisco CCNA 200-301 Actual Exam Questions - Question 6 Discussion

Makes sense to rule out B, C, and D since those deal with network hardware roles. A fits because endpoints are basically the devices users interact with directly. So, A seems like the clear choice here.

It’s A for sure. Endpoints are the actual user devices, so they’re the ones directly accessing network services, not managing traffic or security like the other options suggest.

Probably A. Endpoints are basically the devices people use to connect and access stuff on the network, like laptops or phones. B and C are about moving traffic around, which is more a network device role, not an endpoint. D sounds like a firewall or security device, not a typical endpoint function. So yeah, A fits best here since it’s about direct user access.

Maybe A again, since endpoints are usually the devices people use directly, not equipment that forwards or filters traffic like B or D suggest. C sounds like a switch job, not an endpoint.

A/B? A feels right since endpoints are where users access services, but B might confuse endpoint with a device passing unicast like a switch. Still, endpoints don’t typically forward traffic, so A makes more sense here.

Maybe D isn’t right since endpoints don’t really handle security boundaries—that’s more a firewall or gateway thing. A feels solid because endpoints are usually the ones actually using the network services directly.

It’s A because endpoints are generally user devices accessing services directly, unlike B or C which are about network devices. D seems more like a firewall role, not an endpoint function.

Option A fits best because endpoints are typically devices like laptops or phones that directly access network services, unlike B or C which describe networking hardware roles.

If we treat endpoints strictly as devices like laptops or phones, A makes sense since they access services. But B talks about passing unicast, which sounds more like a switch or router’s job, right? Could endpoint mean something else here?

I get why A sounds right since endpoints are often user devices, but I’m thinking D could be tricky too—like firewalls acting as endpoints controlling traffic between network zones. Still, that might not be the primary function of an endpoint itself. B and C seem more like roles for switches or routers, not endpoints. Does the question want the typical user device role, or something broader including security devices? That would change the answer a lot.

Maybe B, since endpoints definitely handle unicast communication between hosts directly.

A, but what exactly counts as an endpoint here?
