What is a Data Link layer network device that logically separates a single network into two segments or collision domains in Ethernet networks?
- A.
Hub
- B.
Bridge
- C.
Switch.
- D.
Router.
Correct Answer
B. BridgeExplanation
A bridge is a Data Link layer network device that logically separates a single network into two segments or collision domains in Ethernet networks. It operates by examining the MAC addresses of the incoming frames and making forwarding decisions based on the destination address. By doing so, it can filter and control the flow of traffic between the segments, reducing collisions and improving network performance. Unlike a hub, which simply broadcasts all incoming traffic to all connected devices, a bridge selectively forwards traffic only to the intended destination, making it an efficient solution for dividing a network into separate segments.Rate this question:
