Yes, a switch can perform the functions of both a bridge and a router, but it typically requires specific types of switches. Layer 2 switches act as bridges by connecting devices within the same network segment and forwarding frames based on MAC addresses. Layer 3 switches, on the other hand, can route packets between different networks using IP addresses, thus combining the features of both a bridge and a router. However, traditional switches do not have routing capabilities unless they are specifically designed as Layer 3 switches.
