- used to connect 2 LAN, suppose in one side of bridge is connected with Ring and other may be connected with Bus
- it worked in Physical and Datalink layer(so it can read MAC addrss so can work forwarding at a particular node)
Source Mac and destination MAC
- MAC adress be checked by Bridges then forwarding occurs This Checks done by - Static and Dynamic
done using a table(MAC,PORT)
By checking MAC if in same port -> Not forwarding else forwad to next port to the destination.
- start with empty table
