up to serve as security measure by preventing unauthorzed
traffic between different segments of the network?

Answer Posted / vik

Switch within a network, Router between networks

within a LAN, which is what I believe the questions is
asking for, Switches can setup VLANS, and restrict broadcast
traffic from going across different VLAN's, or network
segments.

Access lists on routers can also serve such a purpose.
