Answer / imthiyazpathan
All of them are devices and are used in network. Their
differences are:
Router: Layer 3 device, can work on physical, data and
network layer.
Switch: Layer 2 device, can work on data link layer
Bridge: Layer 2 device, can work on data link layer.
Hub: Layer 1device, just a multi-port repeater and works on
physical layer

Answer / tarun tomer
Routers works at layer 3 of OSI layer model called network
layer.
Switches;
1900 series to 2960 series swiches work on layer 2(datalink
layer) of OSI models
but above 3500 series to 6500 series swiches called multi
layer swithes work on both Layer 2(data link) and layer
3(network) of OSI reference model.
