Answer:

The device that can be used to interconnect two separate LANs is known as a bridge. It is commonly used to connect two similar or dissimilar LANs as shown in Fig. 1.3. The bridge operates in layer 2, that is data-link layer and that is why it is called level-2 relay with reference to the OSI model.

Bridges

Explanation:

  • Bridge is a computer network device that provides interconnection with other bridge networks using the same protocol.
  • Bridges work at the data link layer of the Open System Interconnect (OSI) model and connects two different networks together and providing communication between them.
  • It is similar to hubs and repeaters as they also broadcast data to every node, but bridges maintain media access control (MAC) address table as soon as hey discover new segments and the subsequent transmissions are sent to only to the desired recipients.
  • They are also called layer 2 switches. It is mostly used in the local area networks as they can flood and clog  a network due to their ability to broadcast data to all nodes.
