A. Switches are primarily software based while bridges are hardware based. B. Both bridges and switches forward Layer 2 broadcasts. C. Bridges are frequently faster than switches. D. Switches typically have a higher number of ports than bridges. E. Bridges define broadcast domain while switches define collision domains. F. Both bridges and switches make forwarding decisions based on Layer 2 addresses.
A. Broadcasts are not forwarded across the router. B. All broadcasts are completely eliminated. C. Adding a router to the network decreases latency. D. Filtering can occur based on Layer 3 information. E. Routers are more efficient than switches and will process the data more quickly. F. None of the above.
