#29 Brdconfig

The document provides an overview of bridges in networking, describing their function as devices that connect different LANs and operate at the data link layer. It highlights the importance of bridges in minimizing network congestion, filtering traffic, and maintaining address tables. Additionally, it categorizes different types of bridges, including simple, multiport, transparent, and source routing bridges.

Bridge
Bridge Devices inspect incoming network traffic and determine whether to forward
or discard it according to its intended destination it operates on data link layer

A bridge is a type of computer


network device that provides
interconnection with
other bridge networks that use the
same protocol.
A bridge connecting two LANs

A bridge does not change the physical (MAC) addresses in a frame.

Importance of a Bridge
• Bridge is to divide a big network in to smaller sub-networks
• A bridge connects two LAN’s

A bridge connecting two LAN’s


Function of a Bridge

• As a physical layer device it generates the signal it receives

• As a data link layer device it checks the source and destination


addresses in the frame

• It send data frames only to the concerned destination


Function of a Bridge
• It minimizes unwanted traffic

• It minimizes network congestion

• Error links can be identified and then isolated

• Security features or access control can be added

• It acts as a filter

• It maintains a table that maps addresses to ports


Types of Bridges

BRIDGE

SIMPLE Source Routing MULTIPORT Transparent

Classification of bridges
Simple Bridging :
• A simple bridge connects two network
segments.
• Typically by operating transparently and
deciding on a frame-by-frame.
• A store and forward technique is
typically used so, during forwarding
• Bridges reduce collisions by partitioning
the collision domain.
Multiport
Bridging:
• A multiport bridge connects
multiple networks and
operates transparently to
decide on a frame-by-frame.
• It works on the basis whether
and where to forward traffic.
• It also uses store and forward
operation.
• The multiport bridge function
serves as the basis for network
switches.
Transparent
Bridge:
Also called learning bridges
• Build a table of MAC addresses as
frames arrive
• Ethernet networks use transparent
bridge
• Duties of transparent bridge are :
Filtering frames, forwarding and
blocking
Source Routing
Bridge:
Used in Token Ring networks
• Each station should determine the
route to the destination.
• Addresses of these bridges are
included in the frame.
• Frame contains the source and
destination address.
• Frame also contains the bridge
addresses.
