What's the different between an Ethernet bridge and a switch?
The difference between an ethernet bridge and a switch is that the bridge only has two ports, while the switch has multiple ports. When there is a lot of traffic going through the ports, the bridge traffic may get tied up or crash often because there are only 2 ports for information to travel back and forth.

All switch and bridge ports are in either the forwarding or blocking state. e. All switch and bridge are either blocking or looping.
What is root switch in spanning tree protocol?
Based on the location of the root bridge, theother switches determine which of their ports has the lowest path cost to the root bridge. These ports are called root ports, and each switch (other than the current root bridge) must have one.
Which three statements are correct concerning the default configuration of a new switch?
It is configured in VTP server mode. STP is automatically enabled. All switch ports are assigned to VLAN1.
What is designated port in spanning tree protocol?
A designated port is the ports that goes from the root bridge switch to the edge of the network, so there is always a path from the root bridge to the other end. In contrast to root ports, which goes to the root bridge, instead of away from it. All ports that isn't root ports or designated ports are blocked.
How many ports does a bridge have?
