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 forwarding them only to the appropriate segment, based on the destination MAC address. This helps to reduce collisions and improve network performance by isolating traffic within each segment. Unlike a hub, which simply broadcasts all incoming frames to all connected devices, a bridge selectively forwards frames, making it a more efficient option for segmenting networks.Rate this question:
