Question 9

To understand the operation of bridges is essential to understand the operation of switches. Which three of the following characterize the correct operation of bridges and switches?

a. Bridges are inherently more robust and faster than switches.

b. Switches operate at data link layer while bridges operate at physical layer.

c. Both bridges and switches forward data link layer broadcasts.

d. Switches commonly have a higher port density compared to bridges.

e. Switches are mainly software based while bridges are hardware based.

f. Switches create collision domains while bridges define broadcast domains.

g. Both bridges and switches forward traffic based on layer 2 addresses.
