A bridge never forwards a frame out to the _____________ port.
A bridge never forwards a frame out to the _____________ port.
The correct option is D Blocking
A bridge never forwards a
frame out to the Blocking port.
The root port is the port
the switch chooses for its overall best path to the root switch. The designated
port is chosen between switches that share a network segment; it is based on
each switch advertised cost to the root.
Bridges are important in
some networks because the networks are divided into many parts geographically
remote from one another. Something is required to join these networks so that
they can become part of the whole network. Take for example a divided LAN, if
there is no medium to join these separate LAN parts an enterprise may be
limited in its growth potential. The bridge is one of the tools to join these
LANS.
Secondly a LAN (for
example Ethernet) can be limited in its transmission distance. We can eliminate
this problem using bridges as repeaters, so that we can connect a
geographically extensive network within the building or campus using bridges.
Hence geographically challenged networks can be created using Bridges.
Third, the network
administrator can control the amount of traffic going through bridges sent
across the expensive network media.
Fourth, the bridge is
plug and play device so there is no need to configure the bridge. And suppose
any machine was taken out from the network then there is no need for the
network administrator to update the bridge configuration information as bridges
are self configured. And also it provide easiness for the transfer of Data.
Useful for data transfer.
